670 (48 34) Did it in my own way!

Gentlemen In my way I finally beat the gmat! My Advice: 1st Quality then Quantity I am international and tried everything from Pincenton to Kaplan, Manhatan, and so on but none of them was good enough for Verbal. In general, Admissions can´t evaluate you in depth so they use Gmat as first and most ...

I heard different stories so I would like to hear from you according to your vast experience....

I get an answer of E. Let x = price of cupcake, y = price of donut, C = # of cupcakes, D = # of donuts. You are given that xC + yD = 6, and want to find D. (1) 2y = 3x - 0.1 (2) (x + y) / 2 = 0.35, or x + y = 0.70 Either statement by itself is insufficient to solve for D in the first equation given...

Re: Ok

What about GMAT Focus? Was that helpful? I asked about the correlation between MGMAT and GMATPrep because I found MGMAT math a lot more complex than the OG. Thx. GFocus is very good but if you have the OG 11 and 12 I heard you won´t need the exercises. Nevertheless, it could help you to evaluate s...

Re: hmm

At first I struggled with Math scoring 34 in Manhattan CATS and after doing very, very hard work I scored 46 in my last two CATS.

Hey El Cucu, Sorry you did not hit your target score. Don't lose hope however! You're a fighter... You say you were disappointed with the verbal section and received a lower score than expected. I wonder whether fatigue did not have anything to do with it? Did you take your practice tests with AWA?...

Will tell you about my progress and tks for your encouraging words!
