Should the GMAC choose to come after you for copyright infringement, just like they did with Scoretop, i'm pretty sure BtG will more than co-operate in helping them track you down. I believe the standard procedure is then to cancel your score, inform the schools that you sent your score to and ban y...

Wow!! That certainly is a lot you've covered. What does your error tracker say? Consistent weak areas?? Have you eliminated that between your last GMAT and now? You are an Indian engineer so 44 may be slightly below par for you. You may also want to consider Knewton.com They have a 50pt increase or ...

Hari,

Did you study only the OG and GmatPrep? Did you look at other sources such as Kaplan, MGMAT and others?? The OG is not sufficient to get you above 700.

I am in Worcester, MA which is abt 4-5hrs away. Ping me sometime we can talk about this.

In this case, its a Combination, since Lizzy only needs to select the birds

Select 2 birds = 4C2
Select 3 birds = 4C3

Total number of ways of writing a report by selecting 2 or 3 birds = 4C2 + 4C3

One is expressed as a percentage, the other as a number. Lets consider 1. If Sugar requires X cups, then flour requires 1.5X cups. A ratio can be computed for this. Consider 2. If Sugar requires Y cups, then required flour is Y + 1.5 You cannot calculate a ratio for this without knowing the value of...

710 / 93%
V 40 / 89%
Q 48 / 85%

My GMAT was on the 30th of Sep, 2007.

21months later, 710 is down by a whole percentile point.

I took the GMAT in 2007 and had a 710 with Q-48 and V 40

The difference in your score and mine is a 1point drop in Q but a 2point rise in V. What were your percentage scores?? Would be interesting to see the co-relation if any.

Total number of ways = 15!

Consider the 2kids as 1 unit, they can now be arranged in 14! x 2! since the two kids can be arranged among themselves in 2! ways

Hence answer = [spoiler]13.14![/spoiler]

If my understanding is correct " 30% of the tanker's capacity " implies that after the unloading, only 50% of the tank is full. in which case this Q now boils down ( :D) to Equal parts of 70% oil solution is mixed with a 100% oil solution. [spoiler]Final oil concentration will therefore = ...

There is a similar thread, with the same thread title and same post by the same author on another forum. Makes me suspicious.

Its not a negative factor. Just that the longer you are out of school, the tougher it is to get back to prepping for a standardised test. Scores are invariably lower and for the most part, it rarely matters. It looks like you will really have to work on your Math and VA basics. http://www.beatthegma...

Looks like your splits are bad and verbal is really low. Again, rather than buying the tests, buy the SCG book and get the tests free. Did i mention the book is cheaper than the tests? Verbal is a big concern for you. What is your accuracy rate for the OG?? Have you considered other sources for prac...

In order of preference, GMATPRep (which i believe you got from mba.com) PowerPrep (the older version of GMATPrep) MGMAT ( 6 tests for $39 or free with any book. Suggest you buy the SCG book) Finally, track your performance. Why are you scoring so low? What are your weak areas? If you are in India, t...

A "multiple" of a number(integer) is defined as the product of a quantity with that number. For e.g. Lets take 9 Multiples of 9 = 9x1 = 9 9x2 = 18 9x45 = 405 All the numbers on the right hand side are called Multiples of 9 Finally 9x 0 = 0 So 0 will be a multiple of all numbers As we alway...
