amit,

680 is your best score and trust me it's a good one! Pay attention to your essays and overall application now. If I were you I wouldn't bother worrying about the GMAT anymore.


Best,
RTS

Jellies tried to capture the market by labeling its product as organic. So, it must have been assumed that organic products command a higher price.
Updated OA. I though E initially as well. Can someone explain?

I think you actually have a pretty good approach but answering questions without going back to the passage can be tricky (will surely save heaps of time, MIGHT not work in getting all the questions on passage right IMO). Especially on the find the detail type questions. The RC GMAT section is akin t...
