Thanks Prasanna, I guess one can never truly be completely ready. Think I will just do a few more PS at random, then refresh the rest.

I guess maybe if you take the Kaplan class you can get some "fresh" questions. I'm sorry, I don't want to shell out that kind of coin for questions.

Just look at the phrase "Helms-Burton law". Yes it is named after 2 people, but it is actually referencing the law, not the people, so "which" would appropriate.

- I just took a shotgun approach and decided it would be wise to see as many different versions as I could find. I just purchased the GMAT review (yellow book). Gonna start cranking out the problems. Under the recommended books, I saw the Kaplan Premier review states, "The scores tend to be ske...

Anybody else use 800score.com ?

I have been using a 2008 Kaplan Premier guide, a 2005 Arco Gold guide, and an online guide from 800score.com. I like the 800score tests better because they don't seem to recycle the same questions like Kaplan does. I bought a 2006 Kaplan program at Half Price Books, and several questions from there ...

You can back solve this one:

Take the 11,000

1) 132000 - 11000 = 121,000 "remaining population"
2) 121,000/ 10 (the remaining cities) = 12,100 (per city)
3) (12,100-11,000)/ 11,000 = 10%

*If you take the 10800 choice, you get 12% which is to high.
