Hi Piyush,

A hearty congrats on your excellent score!

Is it possible for you to give a break-up of your GMAT-prep scores? I understand that the scoring algorithm of GMATprep might not replicate that of the actual GMAT. However, next to PP, thats the best which come closest to, i suppose. And I am quite worried about my score:
GMATprep1: 710
(Q 49 - 12 mistakes out of 37)
(V 39 - 11 mistakes out of 41)

Now, in quant, with 12 mistakes (3 in 1st 10), I dont understand how I could get 49! In your post, you mentioned getting 3 Qs wrong (2 in 1st 10) and receiving 51 in Q. I am not sure whether there are some non-scoring Qs in GMATprep ...

Also, I waste a lot of time on the 'divisibility' kind of problems and sometimes don't get the solution at all (as a last resource, I try puttting in actual values ... but hten this again takes up a lot of time). Do you have any document/link which can explain these concepts clearly? The links you gave for 'modulus' problems were very very helpful (thats another area of low confidence!).

Any advise/suggestion is very welcome ...
Thanks!
