Congrats! Your verbal score is lot better then I can dream of.

Erin, I was told by ETS test center that I could not take two tests in one month. So I decided not to retake the test and want to concentrate on the application processes instead.

Erin, Thank you so much! You are a great man. Even though we never met, and are thousand of miles from each other, I feel like you are one of my best friends. I think a lot of folks feel that way too on this forum. "Meeting Hok-Ming @ Harvard" is a beautiful dream! I will try my best to fulfill this dream. :shy: And I wish all the best for you and your famous web site.:)

Erin and Others, Thank you for your warm words and good comments. Even though the score is not bad, but not impressive enough to impress admission officers at H/W/S. And the most important thing here is that I may be able to do a little better by timing better, so I may, as you suggested, retake it in two weeks, and I will lose nothing if I get a score equal or lower.[xx(] I agree with you 125% that the timing is one of THE most important factors during the high stress long test. If you can pace yourself better, you simply can overcome some of the pressures and nervousness and ultimately do better or at least be yourself. Hope everybody can learn from mistake I made. During my test, the difficulty of the math section was at what you can see in GMAT official guide, I the last question on my test is a simple question about probability. On the verbal section, there are 4 RCs, in which I did the first one badly, that may be why I did not feel the other 3 RCs as difficult as the first one, the computer program probably lowed the difficulty factors later for me.[:(!] For SC, I can remember nothing, I did not feel confident with any of the SC questions, they appeared more difficlut than the questions in GMAT [tooltip=Official Guide]OG[/tooltip]. For CR, I have encountered two BOLD FACE questions and did not answer them without doubts.

Erin, I took the GMAT on 9/14/02 and got a score of 700. Math 50 97%, Verbal 35 76%, 93% overall. I was a bit disappointed by the performance of my verbal section. The 3th question of the verbal section is a RC with there questions, however, it took me a little more time than it should be. I was so upset and speed up during the following questions, THIS IS A MISTAKE! and some of questions did not have too much time to think thoroughly, in turn I finished the verbal section 5 mins ahead of time, if I could slow down a bit, and if I can do one or tow more question correct, I should get a more reasonalbe score. However, however, ... Do I need re-take in two weeks? the application deadline is near. I guess the SC part bogged me down.

Q:Producing one unit, the possibility of defective is 0.01.If now produce ten units,what is the possibility of the situation that there must be one unit that is defective?

This is the correct answer because the number of people did not buy the book due to excerpt reading is smaller than the number of people did buy due to excerpt reading. The net gain for alluring more people to buy the book is obvious, therefore support the argument. This option is totally irrelevant. Another irrelevant option. The fact that "proportinoal" does not necessarily establish a causal relationship between the two facts, it could simply be because a popular book caused the more excerpts published in magazines, not the other way around. "Suitable" does not mean actually "did" publish in a magamine, again this is irrelevant to the argument.

Let the trangle be ABC, if we draw a diameter from one vertex of the trangle, AD (the diameter) and we link point B with D, we are getting a new right trangle ABD with angle B as right angle. Then, length AD = 2 BD ( equilateral triangle's inner angles equal to 60 degree, therefore angle BAD is 30 degree), suppose AD = x => DB = 0.5x. Because ABD is a right trangle, AD^2 = DB^2 + AB^2 or x^2 = (0.5x)^2 + a^2 So that we can get x = 2a / v3 (where v3 denotes 'root-3')

In order to make a 2 gallon misture, we need (3/8) * 2 gallon of white paint and (5/8)*2 of blank paint. (3/8)*2 = 3/4 gallon --> there are no 3/4 gallon for sale we have to buy 1 gallon instead. (5/8)*2 = 5/4 gallon --> similarly, we have to buy 1 and half gallon of Blank to cover the black part of paint. So, we need buy 1 gallon of while and 1 and half gallons of blank. Total 2 and half gallons. therefore answer B is correct.

Q: Is the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram? 1) angle (ABC) = 90 2) angle (ADC) = 90 To help you imagine ... quadrilateral can have the interior angles 90, 120, 90, 60 degrees, for example. http://www.gvsu.edu/math/students/bst/Image53.gif This is definitely not a parallelogram.

I think you made the right choice again, C is correct. There are two ways to express "demand", "recommend" when you use require. (1) require sb. to do sth. The government requires all retailers to charge a 50% tax on all sales. [v] (2) require that + subjunctive sentence The government requires that all retailer charge a 50% tax on all sales. In A, "will" is unnecessary, therefore wrong.

You are right. C is the best choice. Parellel structure --> become .. and enter ... D is not correct because there is no need to use a past tense "entered" here.

"pleaded guilt to a crime" is idiomatic. therefore, pleaded guilt (in a federal district court) to failing to report ... is the correct answer.

This is a sentence with subjunctive expression. That's why in the IF sentence, a perfect tense is used to show an action that Charles did not do in the past.

Hi Erin, I misread the "females" for "males" in opion A, that is why I choosed A, my bad. Therefore I agree with you that this is a bad CR, and I got it from 800Scores.com
