Latt...

Congrats!! Great score and fantastic post. Very motivating too. I wanted to know what you mean by this: does this mean that doing well on verbal can help increase the score a lot? At that point, I became a member of BTG and went through a lot of blogs/posts online and stumbled upon a most important...

Thanks a lot! I agree with you, verbal is not as black and white as quanti, but i'd say the best tool to use is process of elimination. works like anything on SC, also is a lot of help on both RC and CR.

Need some suggestions here. Should I rather substitute random values into modulus problems to figure out the solution or break it up into inequalities? Or is it essentially a case by case scenario?

Hey, that was pretty simple! And I sweated my brains out breaking the modulus sign and coming up with all sorts of inequalities. Thanks man!

Not a problem dude, I repeated GMAT prep 1 after 2 wks, only 3-4 of the ques got repeated. In fact I spent too much time on the tough ones that got repeated and got 2 of them wrong. As long as you don't have the answer memorized.
I plan on retaking GMAT Prep 2 after 2 days. Test is this weekend.

DS Problem - Totally clueless
If y is >= 0, what is the value of x?
1) Modulus (x-3) >= y
2) Modulus (x-3) <= -y
Answer is apparently B. How come?
