Hey guys, Look I took my first MGMAT CAT before I started studying, or even before I was familiar with the test, and got a 460. (I took the GMATPrep 1 too and got a 530).

Thanks! I read it but I'm still hesitant. The first fair is this Thursday and I'm still unsure whether to go or not. NYU, Dartmouth and Yale are attending and these are 3 of my target schools. Should I just go and try my best or are my lack of experience and GMAT just going to ruin my chances of mak...

So in order to keep things from getting too expensive I need to buy everything and once. So do you thin the veritas data sufficiency is good or is this topic in some of the o...

Guys quick question, which of the books that I listed above deals with the topic of data sufficiency?
I was in Amazon and there's this book "veritas prep data sufficiency" and now I'm not sure if I should get this one too.
