MGMAT v. OG 10
Hi, I have about 20 days left till I take the GMAT. I finished OG 11 a long time ago and I was doing OG 10 lately because I thought that I've completed all of the available problems, such as PR and Kap. But now I realized that there are question banks online on manhattangmat.com. Now, I have done a ...

test timing and questions
Hi, As I was reading Stacey's post about the myth of getting few questions correct, I just wanted to make myself clear on this topic. (I think it's important enough for you guys to understand that I'm asking this again even though it's posted on the resource section) So I clearly understood that OG ...

thank you for your reply..
one more question though.
i've done OG review and math book in addition to OG 11th edition. Does this mean that I've basically done most of the OG 10th edition? If that's the case should I just go ahead and finish 1000Qs?
Again, I really appreciate your time.

Re: Gmat practice test question
This appeared on my practice test 1. Is there a short cut to do this without actually writing out the terms and adding them? For every integer K from 1 to 10, inclusive, the kth term of a certain sequence is given by (-1)^(k+1)*1/2^k. If T is the sum of the first 10 terms in the sequence, then T is...

2 problems: First of all, many people misuse the phrase "due to". To make sure that you're using it correctly, replace it with the phrase "caused by". Does it still make sense? If so, "due to" is used correctly. If not, then re-phrase it to use "because" or s...
