I'm either going to do the combined JD/MBA or I'm ditching the legal degree altogether and getting an accelerated MBA. I definitely do NOT want to be in the legal profession... It is just CR. It is a very strong guide. Hopefully there were lots of cheap used copies to choose from. I was literally shocked when I got a dense, straight conditional statements Q with a necessary/sufficient Q stem ala the LSAT. For RC, I don't of a guide that really nails it but people on this law school board I used to frequent said that Nova's guide to RC was good. My thought there is get cheap used copies of the actual LSATs and do all their RCs and CRs (skip the logic games obviously). The difficulty should be overall higher than the GMAT on average, so that's good.

Just to reiterate, I definitely felt like the actual was markedly harder. But that impression no doubt was influenced by my mental and physical state during the actual exam. I was tired and had a hard time focusing and really getting on a roll. Your experience and mental/physical state, and thus your impression of the actual might be totally different than mine. I would still assert that this board combined with LOTS of GMATprep practice is good way to get yourself in a place where you can score high. Again, thanks to all and for those who have the exam still in front of them, stay with the board! :-)

Lets see, I think I was getting between 5 and 8 wrong on the verbal as far as GMATprep went. I'd typically make almost all my errors on SC with one or two RC and CR mistakes thrown in. Can't remember my raw scores off hand. Seems like I would miss between 12 and 15 on quant. It is actually pretty amazing how many you can miss and still score high!

My scores were 710, 720, and 700. I managed to get no repeat Qs, or none that I remember for previous exams. I'm done. My score is plenty good enough and my GPA is high. I suppose if I really feel differently this summer, that might change. I still have the thought in the back of my head that I could spend some quality time prepping and score quite a bit higher. But then again, why? I'm pretty happy overall.

I have the verbal sets but I didn't use them so I can't tell you anything about them. I did 21,22 and 31 on the quant sets. Those were ok. I really wish I had more time because I would have probably done them all. I don't know what the TestGrid is. I've read elsewhere that the verbal sets are a good approximation of the actual. Again, couldn't tell ya but if I had had the time I would have certainly taken advantage of them.

I believe these could be useful for GMAT prep. http://www.amazon.com/PowerScore-LSAT-Logical-Reasoning-Bible/dp/0972129618/ref=sr_1_1/002-2906469-2190451?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1175634487&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Next-Actual-Official-LSAT-Preptests/dp/0942639898/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/002-2906469-2190451?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1175634431&sr=1-2

Thanks modus and asterix. This board has been outstanding. I only wish I had more time to prep because I would have liked to continue participating. I'm just making excuses for myself...don't know why I feel the need to do that! Well anyway, we're all basically perfectionists to a fault here so, I guess you all understand. ;-) I drove an hour and half north to the exam center. They sat me straight down and I just jumped in. I was pretty much in a down energy state at the outset. The essays I thought were easy. I'm in law school so I better be able to write. Did not prep for those. We'll see what they give me but I tend to think school really only care about your publicized score. The quant was just plain hard. I was having real trouble focusing from the first question. I was doing weird things like making a mess of my writing board and striking off answer choices I intended to keep. No doubt most of my mistakes were because of that. But like I said, they were hard. I kinda thought I was going to score higher. I actually saw two probability questions which, I thought at least, usually indicates you are doing well. I'd say I got a fair mix on subject matter. I felt like it was what you typically see in GMATprep times about 1.5 in terms of difficulty. Quant is the one area where I had the capacity to gain a great deal. I get concepts and I can figure stuff out but for me to real nail that section I would have needed more time on this board. Its just a function of how many problems you do and how much time you spend with it I think. Harder than the 95 and the OG? Yes, definitely. Is that the best prep material out there still? I tend to think it is. Just work EVERY problem under the sun from the OG to the sets to the 95 to uninstalling and reinstalling the GMATprep program again and again... On verbal, it was ridiculous. It was very hard. I was so gone by the about the middle of that section I thought I was sunk for sure. It felt like it was just one SC after the other. They just kept coming! RC was tough and the CRs were harder than I had seen in GMATprep. I don't really know what to tell people to do to prep for those. I spent a little time learning SC strategies but I ignored RC and CR prep. One suggestion for people who really want to push their score in these two areas-get the Official Guide to the LSAT ACTUAL exams. I had heard that the GMAT was supposed to be easier than the LSAT on these. I didn't think so. RC and CR questions were very similar, even to the point of asking thinly veiled necessary/sufficient condition questions. On that last point, I think it could really pay off for folks who need to get stronger in RC and CR. I did pretty well on the LSAT. My main guide was Powerscore's Logical Reasoning Bible. Check it out... Please ask more questions about my experience. I don't think I'm laying out a very good debrief but I'll try and give whatever feedback and suggestions that I can.

Q 42, V 42 My quant score was my weakness-67th percentile. Oddly, the same scaled score for verbal put me in the 95 percentile. All in all, I fell into the 91st percentile. I'm happy with that and I'll explain why and try to give you a rundown of my experience. My obstacles-I only really had about 5 weeks to prep. I work about 30 hrs a week and attend law school full time. Yup, full time. And my job is not the type that permits you to study while you work. My job is very physically demanding and it takes a lot out of me. Now, don't get the wrong impression here. I'm not complaining...I'm actually making excuses, valid as they are. ;-) But I am very pleased with my score. Sure, given more time to prepare and less constraints on my schedule, I have no doubt whatsoever that I could have scored quite a bit higher. But I didn't need that. I just want to take a minute to thank my fellow posters. I found this board, what, about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Folks, this board in conjunction with lots of GMATprep practice is all you need to succeed. Stick with it, and I assure you that you will perform very well on the real thing. If folks are interested I'll say more about my actual exam. Let's just put it this way: I thought it was quite a bit harder than anything I saw in GMATprep, both V and Q.

I think that's a pretty strong score. From what I have gathered, you and I are about on par with most concepts. Hopefully that means I'll do as well as you tomorrow... Best of luck with your apps! AJ

X must be between 451 and 549. Likewise, y must be between 351 and 449. 1) Could be 451+351=802 (800) or 451 + 449=900. Insufficient. 2) Could be 451+ 351=802 (800) or 549+351=900. Insufficient. (1) + (2) could be 451+351=802 (800) or 499+399=898 (900) so its still unclear. E.

First, write 4^17 in base 2. 2^34-2^28. Since you are looking for the GREATEST prime factor, factor. 2^28(2^6-1)=2^28*63. 63 factors into 9*7 so 7 is the greatest prime factor. Note that 2^28=2^6*2^6*2^6*2^6*2^6*2^4=64*64*64*64*16 which has 2 as its greatest prime factor.

I think its just saying that the total ratio is the expectation. In other words, the ratio of total defective parts on the 4 shipments to the total number shipped for the 4 is expected to remain constant.

Well I get 20 as well. The expectation is that 1 in every 3000 will be defective. That is, 1/3k=x/60k. I think anyway...

Gotta post a problem first. :-)

You can have AA and BB. Stem says "...if the letters may be repeated..."
