Apparently, if you send a score report, the school will see your score from every GMAT attempt over the previous five years.

Okay. I was confused. I thought you had not finished the OG yet. Yeah, redoing problems is tricky, since you will remember a lot of answers. From a optimist's perspective, that means you have a good memory, which means you're probably retaining a lot of what you have learned! First piece of advice, ...

I didn't know the answer to this question, but this is from mba.com: If you repeat the test and want to resend your scores to programs that previously received your scores, you must reselect the programs at the time you take the test or order an Additional Score Report after your exam with the appro...

The resources on this site are amazing. I looked over the Beat the GMAT flash cards one exam day. If you're going to do that, definitely look them over before test day as well, so nothing catches you off-guard. Also, during the days leading up to the exam, I looked over Spidey's and Sahlil's (two di...

Don't take the Kaplan tests at this point. The only exam you should probably even consider right now is a GMAT Prep 2 (retake). You can look at notes and restudy strategies and missed problems from other sources, but in terms of new problems and new exams... I think that it is best to work primarily...

Quoted for Truth. The only things I'd really consider doing in your position are: 1: Looking at the BTG flashcards. 2: Looking through any notes that you've made along the way and/or Sahlil/Spidey notes. 3: Explaining a couple of problems in the Quant or Verbal forums to other users (I really think...

Ten per day on the weekend? or 10 total? Also, what's your work schedule like? I have to run now, but I'll give you my opinion tonight based on your answers to those questions. In general, I don't advise studying more than 2-3 hours per day. Yeah...I have been averaging 5 hours on Saturday and 5 ho...

I probably wouldn't change the date immediately. I think it is very possible that you will want to move it up at some point in the future... but you have the benefit of time right now. Feel it out over the next several weeks. Feel things out and take the time to figure out how far you want to move i...

If it were 7 women and 3 men. M: 3/10 x 2/9 = 6/90. (< 1/10) W: 7/10x6/9 = 42/90. (<1/2) The work you've already done proves that it could it were 8 women and 2 men, that there could be less than a 10% chance of two men being selected, while p is > 1/2. So Statement 2 is not sufficient. Statement 1 ...

I'm going to give you two pieces of advice in only one post! 1. Be Optimistic, Be Excited, Be Neutral/Focused... BUT ABSOLUTELY DO NOT walk in to that exam room thinking you're going to perform poorly. If you're taking that exam thinking about how terrible your score is going to be... then you are p...

I'm a Veritas instructor, and my PERSONAL opinion is it depends on whether you are taking the two-weekend course or the seven-week course. If you're taking the weekend course: I'd definitely at least skim through the books before hand and take at least one practice exam before you begin the course. ...

Honestly (and this is more easily said than done)... you should get yourself to the point where you don't make the careless mistakes. But barring that, what you should do probably varies with each question. How easily you can navigate your written work will also play a role.
