Hey Pradeep, Sad to hear your story.... 1) I would advise you to first hit 700+ on GMATPrep tests before going for real one, it seriously boosts your confidence and yes practise with AWA. 2) do consider verbal or both prep classes, I'm considering it too but right now I'm in different phase of life ...

Hi Pradeep,
from my experience, continuous wrong answers in a row affect the scores badly. It was also mentioned here in few threads(I can't find) by some gmat prep class experts.
What was your score though... Quant should be cakewalk I guess, based on your nice replies.

let n be actual invst at Jan beginning at Jan end it'll be = n + n * x/100 and in Feb end n+n*x/100 - y/100(n + n*x/100) which is = n now n = n+n*x/100(1-y/100) n= n(1+x/100)*(1-y/100) 1/(1+x/100) = 100-y/100 100/(100+x) = 100-y/100 10000/(100 +x) = 100-y so y = 100 - 10000/(100 +x) in problems such...

If I were you, I would consider schools whose GMAT range is around 580 (Hult International business school), pick some schools from top 50 of FT.com, few from BusinessWeek. Work well on your applications and then apply to say 5-10 schools. For applying to 10 schools I would say forget the cost facto...

so we r adding that non refund bcoz in a way its a cost to the Co-right? Exactly I think it should be B. If only 2/3 was needed, then 1/3 was returned. If 160 bulbs were returned, then 1/3 x = 160 and then x = 480. Of those 480 bulbs, 160 were returned, and 320 were used. As for the price, if 60% o...
