I just took GMATPREP 1 yesterday and scored 680 (Q50V32). I am a little confused by the GMATPREP score because I got 7 QUANT wrong and still ended up with 50.

should the question be asking which n gives you 7/15? 10C2 = 45 given the total number of ways to pick 2 bulbs out of 10 6G4D = 24 pairs of 1G and 1D -> 24/45 = 8/15 7G3D = 21 pairs of 1G and 1D -> 21/45 = 7/15 8G2D = 16 pairs of 1G and 1D -> 16/45 9G1D = 9 pairs of 1G and 1D -> 9/45 confused

I have 1/4 My reasoning The 3 consecutive integer has to be even because it is either Odd*even*Odd or Even*odd*even so it is 100% divisible by 2 Then I list 1*2*3 not div by 4 2*3*4 div by 4 3*4*5 div by 4 4*5*6 div by 4 5*6*7 not div by 4 6*7*8 div by 4 7*8*9 div by 4 8*9*10 div by 4 9*10*11 not di...

Or once you get total of 8 combinations....
instead of doing the listing, think of how many ways can 2G and 1B be arranged/ordered.
Isn't it simply 3!/2! = 3*2*1/2*1 = 3?

I got 66. I am not sure if it is right. W=21 G=24 B=32 Assuming you have the worst of luck and keep getting 1W, 1G, 1B, 1W, 1G, 1B etc etc now after 63 tries (21X3). No more W, but 3 G and 11 B left. Ane you have 21W, 21G, 21B taken out. If you get 2G or 2B in a row, then you get 23 of one color (B ...

It is like flipping a coin 3 times and getting 8 different total outcomes.
1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8
Then I just list the possibilities
BBB
BGG
BBG
GBB
GGB
GBG
BGG
GGG
2G and 1B = GGB, GBG, BGG = 3/8

Question on Consortium
I will be applying to Carnegie Mellon and Michigan (both of which are members of the Consortium) for Fall 2010 entry and I found out at one of the MBA fair about Consortium.

And I am also very seriously thinking about applying to Kellog and the MMM program (MBA + Master in engineering management), but again this is also f...
