Thanks a lot Amy. The thought of distinguishing myself from the 'Indian IT' pile has been lingering on my mind for a long time and your words do provide a lot of encouragement. I have a few questions: Considering my engineering background, I was wondering if I my lack of leadership experiences will ...

Sum of those two numbers will be a multiple of 11. So, the answer would be any number that is not a multiple of 11.

You are absolutely right about the nerves part. Its all about not letting the test get on your nerves because YOU ARE GOING TO GET QUESTIONS THAT YOU CANNOT DO. My nervous system was probably an equivalent of Jerry Springer Show during the test. All chaos, utter insanity and no substance. Congrats a...

I'd say something with lots of carbs and proteins albeit very little sugar. You do not want your sugar crash during the test.tonyrobbins wrote:haha...
Thanks for the advice guys. Last question -- what's good brain food for the last supper? I'm trying to plan my supper before the big day meal. Any suggestions?

2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 100 = 2550
Now, 102 + 104 + ... 200
= (2 + 100) + (4 + 100) + ... (100 + 100)
= (2 + 4 + ... 100) + (100 + 100 ... 50 times)
= 2550 + 100*50
= 2550 + 5000
= 7550

It soothes me. Find something that calms you down, spend 20 seconds and just focus on it.
Jokes aside, that is a VERY GOOD POINT. Anything that calms you down.

Yeah. Done with it and glad it is over. Although I scored pretty much where I figured I would, a part of me wants a higher score :) I started thinking about taking the test a couple of months back. I went on a book shopping spree and ordered everything (they are all on sale starting now!). I have OG...

It looks like either the answer is incorrect or the question is poorly worded for A to be OA. What is the source of the question?

Square root of a negative number is not a real number. It is an imaginary number but GMAT does not deal with those.
So, sqrt(2-sqrtx) will not be defined when sqrt(x) > 2 which would make the number inside the radical negative. sqrt(5) > 2 and hence, the result.
