How to get to Q50/51 (>90%ile) from Q49 (<90%ile)? Any

End result, still ended up with Q49. Now, what you all suggest me to do to get to 50/51 range? What is the difference bet...

It will be very interesting to know, because in general the difference between prctice scores and real score is 30 points negative (according to some forums). Any insights will be ver...

Ceilidh, Thank you for your response. So, the question approach wise, what is the difference between the two test takers? After you read the question, do you sit back (pause) for 5/10 seconds and ask those questions? Or you ask the questions/make a framework simultaneously as you read the question? ...

Verbal from 37/38 to 41/42+
I am a non-native speaker. I took the real GMAT couple of weeks earlier and received 37 in verbal. I think the score is kind of underestimated. Because of the urge to go to restroom, I could not focus on the second half of verbal. Anyway I think I am at 38/39 range. I need to get to 41/42 range to g...

What do you think that helped you the most on SC? What do you suggests the strategy should be for some body who wants (and who already exhausted OG 10, 11, 12) to take the SC from 35/37 to 42/43 level? Reading grammer books? Reading literature and magazines? Redoing OGs? Reading posts?

When is the mean = median?
From my understanding, mean = median if,
1. the set consists of evenly spaced numbers
2. if all the members of the set are equal
3. set has just one number
Is there any thing else? In DS type of "is mean = median" questions, what do you have to know to be sure that mean = median?

The OA is C and that is why I got confused. Unless you make the assumption that complex quadrilaterals are excluded from the picture, you have to go with E.
