Hi, Yes I checked the average GMAT score on the college web site and wat i found is that I am standing on the border line as average work experience of people over there is 6-7 years and my score is not so good that by the same work ex factor can be offset.... I am replying to a dead post, but I ha...

I already took GMATpreps before my first attempt so didn't mention them here.
prep1: took it several times while preparing.
prep2:640 (earlier)
prep2:700 (retake, after 1st attempt)

And this is what I am confused about. How do I judge my score?

second attempt

Hi friends, I will be taking GMAT in two weeks (my second attempt). My last attempt was a month ago in which I scored a 540 (Q39,V26). My manhattan mock scores had been in the 670-700 range but I screwed up on the real one. It was basically due to anxiety which led to poor time management and panic....

housing development

The newly renovated housing development in city X is cleaner, bigger, and less expensive than other local housing developments. The development, therefore, should attract thousands of people and become the most popular residential area in city X. Which of the following, if true, would LEAST weaken t...

Sorry I missed the OA. It's 70

What's wrong with this?
First quadrant: 5C1
Second: 4C1
Third: 4C1
Fourth: 3C1
Total ways = (5C1*4C1*4C1*3C1) = 240

pizza

A circular pizza is cut into 4 quadrants. Each piece can be topped with any one of five available toppings but no two adjacent pieces have the same topping. In how many ways can the pieces be topped?
40
70
160
240
260

Grockit

N is a positive integer and is even. Then (N^2 - 4) (N - 2) + 2 (N - 2)^2 + 12 (N + 2) + 24 is divisible by:
2
4
8
16
24

I guess the minimum value N can take is 2. And for 2, the expression IS divisible by 24.
Where am I wrong?
OA C

I'm not going to lie, this just made me nervous, because my MGMAT results mirror yours... SAME. Hey don't worry. I freaked out which led me to 540. Don't go by my score, just believe in yourself and keep your cool. You'll be good. I see you have only two days to go. I am waiting... :) Good luck !!

You obviously have 2 problems. 1. Test anxiety. This really is up to how you can control yourself when you're taking the test and preparing for it. I know it's scary when you think about it, because you need the good score to get into the b school of your choice. However, as some have said before m...

Please Help !!

Hi, I took GMAT today. And I was more than disappointed; I scored 540 (Q39, V26). The essays were good. Then I took my break and sat down for the quant very confidently. The first question popped up. It was a simple algebra question, but I started in a rush and got an answer which was not in the opt...

Can we cite a hypothetical scientific study as an example in which some X and Y children were monitored and their behaviour was recorded? But why you want to provide a data which is hypothetical. Dont give a data which might create a doubt. By hypothetical I meant any cooked up data. Of course I wo...

Examples in essays

In the argument and issue essays, we are asked to support our position using reasons/examples from our experience, observations etc. My question is that do we have to present authentic examples? For example, say the arguments is about some ill effect of TV violence on teenagers. Can we cite a hypoth...
