Only B implies that there might be another reason (other than deforestation) that could drive koala to extinction. This is consistent with the biologists' claim but not with the politicians'.

Do not worry about Kaplan scores. I scored a 570 on one of them and ended up getting 750 on the big day. I would recommend OG11 and Manhattan SC guide (if SC is you weakness). Check my debrief in the 'I just beat the GMAT' section for more details on books I used. Focus on quality instead of quantit...

Since I was slacking a week or two before my test, I am catching up at work right now. The apps are going slower than I thought... but I have plenty of time for Round 2 since I would not be able to put the best app together for Round 1.
Thanks for asking.

Avg = 70
Sum = 70*5 = 350
To maximize the smallest integer, minimize the largest ones.
So, the sequence would look like a,b,84,84,84
So, a+b = 350-84*3 = 98
Max a will be when a = b. So, a = 49

Thanks Amy. You are a sweetheart.
I just got my AWA score. 5.0. I was expecting a 5.5 but 5.0 (61 percentile) sounds very low. Do you think this would affect the application?

Just got my AWA score. 5.0. That is terrible. Well, the only essay I wrote was on the actual test. So, I can't complain but I did think that I would get a 5.5. Oh well. I am very disappointed.
Does a 5.0 make your overall app look bad? Should I retake??

Two things:
1. Buying only these 6 tests costs you $39. However, if you purchase any of the guides by MGMAT, you get access to the 6 tests for free and a guide costs only $26.
2. Check out the MGMAT 10% discount link on the top right for BTG members.
