There is no definitive answer to these questions and you would need to spend time on forums, blogs, B School websites, rankings to form your own opinion. You should consider spending time on this site,GMATClub.com, PoetsandQuants.com as part of recreation.

Questions Missed to get highest percentile in Quant & Ve

Hi Rebecca,

On an average, how many questions can one miss in Quant to score Q51(98%ile) and in Verbal to score V44(99%ile).

Did you guess strategically on MGMAT Quant Questions ? Some questions are way too hard and can take 5-10 mins. Some questions are relatively easy if you figure out the trick, then you can solve in 2min else you may find yourself spending 4-5 minutes. These are the type of questions that you would no...
