Pls evaluate my profile 680 (Q44, V39)

Took the GMAT Today 5/29
GMATPrep1: 670 (47Q/34V) GMATPrep2: 680 (49Q/33V) Real GMAT: 680 (44Q/39V) I am at a loss of words. Quant today was unbelievably hard (I literally wanted to cry). Any suggestions on whether I should retake for 700+? I feel as though my verbal score was pure luck and I'm afraid a retake after a more ...

Why can't it be D? Another reason for the plan not to work is that even though more money is available it is not being lent because bankers don't want to. I'm aware that this choice introduces earnings (same as A introduced consumer borrowing). D answers the question, why else the plan would not wo...

I'm still stumped on the meaning, which caused me to instantly POE the correct answer choice. There are two ways you can interpret the meaning: 1) Judge Bonham denied a motion to allow ... (Judge is doing the action) 2) Judge Bonham denied a motion that would have allowed ... (Motion is doing the ac...

Between B and E, Chose B as it felt right. (Don’t have an explanation!) What’s the OA? B) From what has happened in the past, it is impossible to infer with certainty what will happen in the future, so an accident could still trigger a third world war between superpowers. Choice B talks about t...

Remember that the assumption is the missing "link" between the premise and conclusion. I will make this awfully simple. Premise: Impact craters are clumped together (not evenly distributed) around the world. Conclusion: These impact crater clumps exist because there is hardly any weatherin...

c. For subjunctive mood, use plural verb after IF cluase (IF I WERE 7 feet tall, I will be a great basketball player.) By skimming through the above, I noticed a slight error. If a correct sentence on the GMAT were to use the hypothetical subjunctive mood, then it would be shown using the past tens...

If I could sum up your mistakes in a few words, it would be LACK OF CONFIDENCE. 1) Doing tough problems the day before the exam is a no-go unless you can solve them with ease. Familiarity leads to confidence. Unfamiliarity does not. 2) Not getting enough sleep does psyche you into believing that you...

How does it compare to the Manhattan Guides? How good of a job does it do with geometry, exponents, and number properties specifically? I like it. It complements nicely, although overlapping, with the MGMAT guides. There's a nice balance between content, drills and GMAT-like practice questions asso...

The GMAT is built to have a 30-point confidence interval, which means that if you score a 680, your true score is between 650 and 710. As you can see, this interval does contain the coveted 700-mark, but it's up to you to make sure that you're there and not at 650. You can check out a few prep plan...

The key to doing well on the verbal section is to sift through the seemingly dense verbiage and understand what the question is really asking or which core concept(s) is being tested. Easier said than done I know! So I'll quickly give you a couple tips. 1) Improve SPEED + COMPREHENSION by reading li...
