Yup, I found some questions ridiculous, even though I was at a low level. I was recently reading an article regarding how many times you should write the GMAT and how that reflects to the adcom. Some people say writing 1st time and scoring 700 is more impressive than someone going 680,690,740. Here'...

I thought Manhattan CR was great! It discusses everything you need for CR. I like it more than PowerScore CR Bible
I didn't find Manhattan RC as helpful though, so don't get that.

Brock MBA vs McMaster MBA (CANADA)

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some insight on Brock and McMaster's MBA Programs. McMaster has co-op which lets you work in different companies. It has 3 co-op terms of 4 months each. Brock has two co-op terms. I know Brock is newer, started in 2003 whereas McMaster started way back with co-op pro...

I'll just say 1 line, take it seriously:
Don't give the GMAT until you have gone through ALL of Manhattan GMAT's 8 strategy guides in good detail and done the suggested OG problems!

Goodluck

I wrote GMATPrep 2 today and got this question wrong, so I googled and ended up on BTG
The thread that discussed the question was 2 years old. So, I don't think GMATPrep gets updated frequently

Thanks for the explanation, but where is the 6th point? I only see upto 5 points

Hmmm. I purposely made a triangle that touches the circle 6 times. But, since the question does not ask the MAX number of points, how do we know how to construct the diagram?

Here's another approach if you are good with decimals: 1/11: <.1 1/12: .083 (half of 1/6 which is half of 1/3 which is .33) 1/13: .077 1/14: .072 (half 1/7 which is .14) 1/15: .068 1/16: 0.625 (half of 1/8 which is half of 1/4 which is .25) 1/17: .058 1/18: .055 (half of 1/9 which is 1/3 of 1/3 whic...

I would say D A: as having is incorrect B: "is estimated to have poured" is wrong tense C: "during the late late 1990s it is estimated" You can't have past and that then present. "It is estimated" should come before, which takes us to D or E D: correct. concise and clea...


Thanks osirus0830 and Stacey! I really appreciate your help. These my results with the splits: Manhattan 1: 460 (Q29 V25) Manhattan 2: 640 (Q44 V33) Manhattan 3: 560 (Q39 V29) - both down Manhattan 4: 640 (Q44 V33) - same as #2 GMAT Prep 2: 580 (Q42 V27) - I found Verbal was different than Manhattan...

I know someone said he/she didn't buy CR and RC from Manhattan. I think you should get CR, its totally worth it!
I bought the entire 8 book package, got good discount on it.

Have you written AWA before? They are not that bad really. I didn't even write 1 AWA before my test 1st time and got 5.0. And I am not a great writer, just avg. But it depends on how your writing skills are. Make sure you write AWA in final GMATPrep test! Your assessment report you shared earlier sh...

Ok, so depending when your application is due, you might be able to shift the test date. I know you don't want to. Will this be your first time writing it? If yes, go ahead and write it and get the experience. It will give you an idea where you really are - practice CATs are not exact predictor. If ...

Hey I wrote Manhattan CAT 3 yesterday and scored 80 points less than CAT 2. I was stunned! I was hoping going up 20 points, so I was 100 points below my expectation! My test is in 2 weeks today and I feel totally discouraged! But I am trying to keep it together. I have postponed my test twice, so I ...
