Hi Guys, I just gave my GRE and have got 1350 (Q-760). I am a Commerce graduate with Masters in Computer Application from India's top university (although my academic scores were not good). I have 2 years of work experience. Have have no breaks in my education or work experience. I was contemplating on pursuing further studies in Finance. Can anyone please tell me the prospects of either of the two courses & which one has a better chance of me getting into? Any kind of guidance would be really really helpful. Also, if someone could guide me to a good counselors in Bangalore? Would be highly obliged. - Rohit ps: Apologies if this is under a wrong section. Did not know where to put the question.

all were single digit nos. starting from 3 (which i selected for lack of better knowledge).. i think i remember seeing 7 & 9.. dun remember other two

Yes it was.. i freagin lost out 20 marks coz of this n dunno which other question.. was flabbergasted when i got this on the *real GRE exam*. not talkin about a mock test. Anyway, i dunno how can they expect a non math student to solve a problem like this! unless there is a trick that i am unaware of. ps: ppl who hav an urge to throw flake for sharing the question with others.. i dun giv a rats a _ _. Hopefully it would help some poor soul to be better prepared next time.

It was!! On mine :mad:

9^x = 47 what is the closest integer value of 3^x? and no, there is no typo in the problem.

Wow excellent way to solve it.. I did the brute force method.. Got it from GRE Math pdf's.. (available on esnips).

The length of each side o f a triangle is an even number. If no two of the sides are equal, what is the smallest perimeter the triangle could have? (A) 18 (B) 16 © 14 (D) 12 (E) 6 OA:

If it is 6:27 in the evening on a certain day, what time in the morning was it exactly 2,880,717 minutes earlier? (Assume standard time in one location.) (A) 6:22 (B) 6:24 © 6:27 (D) 6:30 (E) 6:32 OA : What is the trick to use here? On a certain scale of intensity, each i ncrement of 10 in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in intensity. On this scale, an intensity corresponding to a magnitude of 165 is how many times an intensity corresponding to a magnitude of 125? (A) 40 (B) 100 © 400 (D) 1,000 (E) 10,000 OA:

man this is going to sound really foolish, but when i first read the question (under a timed test) i figured the "There is an untillable strip 20 ft wide on the inside edge" to mean on one side of the edge & was confused on which edge? This problem had me really worked up in the test!! btw, was I the only one to have interpreted it the way I did? anyone?

A farmer has a field that measures 1000 ft wide by 2000 ft long. There is an untillable strip 20 ft wide on the inside edge of the field, and a 30 ft wide untillable strip bisects the field into two squares (approximate). Approximately what percentage of the field is tillable? A) 98% B) 93% C) 91% D) 90% E) 88% Answer: Five pickers can pick 10 acres of peaches in 20 hours. How many hours would it take 8 pickers to pick 23 acres of peaches??

A ?

I used actual values to figure out. Took around 3 mins to solve. Share price of P = 15 (LCM of 3, 5) Share price of Q = 5 Share price of R = 3 She bought 4500 of Q = 4500 * 3 = 22,500 Let x be no. of shares of P & R each Thus, P(x) + R(x) = 22,500 = 15x + 3x = 22500 = 18x = 22500 = x = 1250

Very nicely explained

There u go http://febian.googlepages.com/temp2.JPG

now the two chords are diameters if they intersect,? pl explain how u concluded the chords are diameters

My rough sketch was a lil too rough.. i figured my approach was wrong but just wanted to visualize if i saw somethin.. n gave up too early. :doh: @Sandeep Bansal http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/graphing/classic/ Try to plot the graph here and you would see the triangle.

Solution is 288. How is still a mystery :(

Excellent.. i was able to visualize.. but failed to go further..

How good is the quant in the TIME material (for CAT) to study for GRE? Any ideas?

Pl help!!!

Another one i've used... EnglishEdge is designed to increase your verbal skills and help you score higher in GRE, GMAT, SAT and other competitive exams. You can practice from a very large database of high frequency words. You can build your own flash cards, add flash cards from the words that you find tough to remember or can practice antonym and synonym based tests.

Column A?

for 2) c. 18 inches

Btw OA for first is 288
