Hi Its 2010 and this time i post the same question, Is anyone planning to take GMAT from ahmedabad ?

It can be a 50 point + or - , personally I felt that Quant is slightly tougher than the actual GMAT and verbal is as it is in the real test. So you could expect a 50Q 32V

Well, I have heard a rumor.... that GMAT treats english speaking and non-english speaking countries differently, Say INDIA is said to be an English speaking country, so the level of Verbal is on the tougher side than say any country in the Middle-East. Tough luck if its true.. since English is not our first language!

thanx

Recently a court ruled that current law allows companies to reject a job applicant if working in the job would entail a 90 percent chance that the applicant would suffer a heart attack. The presiding judge justified the ruling, saying that it protected both employees and employers. This use of his court ruling as part of the law could not be effective in regulating employment practices if which of the following were true? (A) The best interests of employers often conflict with the interests of employees. (B) No legally accepted methods exist for calculating the risk of a job applicant's having a heart attack as a result of being employed in any particular occupation. © Some jobs might involve health risks other than the risk of heart attack. (D) Employees who have a 90 percent chance of suffering a heart attack may be unaware that their risk is so great. (E) The number of people applying for jobs at a company might decline if the company, by screening applicants for risk of heart attack, seemed to suggest that the job entailed high risk of heart attack. How is the Answer B correct? if u could plz explain

800Score says the answer is B :(

Question # 20, The Chinese are credited developed gunpowder nearly a thousand years ago.

Smoking in bed has long been the main cause of home fires. Despite a significant decline in cigarette smoking in the last two decades, there has been no comparable decline in the number of people killed in home fires. Each one of the following statements, if true over the last two decades, helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy above EXCEPT: A) Compared to other types of home fires, home fires caused by smoking in bed usually cause relatively little damage before they are extinguished. B) Home fires caused by smoking in bed often break out after the home's occupants have fallen asleep. C) Smokers who smoke in bed tend to be heavy smokers who are less likely to quit smoking than are smokers who do not smoke in bed. D) An increasing number of people have been killed in home fires that started in the kitchen. E) Population densities have increased, with the result that one home fire can cause more deaths than in previous decades. (B) What does NOT resolve the apparent paradox? The paradox is that smoking has declined, yet fatalities from home fires have increased. Therefore, we are looking for an alternative cause of fires or that smoking is not related to home fires. (B) does not resolve the paradox; it simply reinforces the fatality of smoking. (A) would explain the paradox because it shows that the fires are rarely fatal. © resolves the paradox because it suggests that the reduction in smoking rates haven't reduced the fatality rates. (D) resolves the paradox because it finds alternative causes for the fires. (E) explains the paradox by suggesting fires have become more fatal, despite declining smoking rates.
