  1. Hi guys, I gave the gmat around 2 months back and got a dismal score of 670.Got a 41 in verbal and 43 in quant.I say dismal since am an engineer and maths was supposed to be my strength.I had prepared for 45 days of which most of the time went to verbal which I was able to improve on from a low of 31 in gmatprep to a high of 41 in the official gmat. In all of the gmat prep and manhattan tests I gave, my quant varied from 47 to 49.So that is what I had expected in gmat.But it seems I was wrong and was shocked to see a 43 in quant which is dismal by any standards. I want to retake the exam.Do you think I should and if I do what should be my strategy to knock the 700 barrier. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Ankit
  2. Great Job Shoebite.Best of luck with ur apps.
  3. I guess the OA is wrong.It cant be D.
  4. Total No Of Votes cast = 200. Assuming each voter cast his vote once the total number of votes should have been =100. From 1 ,No of votes in the Not favourable categoty =40. So 60 votes were favourable for both. Hence A.
  5. E it is.2 variables and only one equation.So inconclusive
  6. Should be C. From 1 we get the balance of the account on May the 1st. x+12/100*x = 504 so x=450. From 2 we know the monthly rate of increase is 8%. Hence we get the balance at the end of the mnth.
  7. A simpler approach could be a theoritical one . For the product of two decimals to be greater than 0.5 both decimals need to be greater than at least 0.5. Since 1*0.5=0.5.We can derive that for the product to be greater than 0.5 ,when none of the numbers can be greater than or equal to 1,both nos should be greater than 0.5. If both are greater than 0.5,the sum is obviously greater than 1.
  8. Though one can get the answer by plugging numbers ecartman explained it beautifully why we get the result... Any number not divisile by 3,when squared and added with 2 will be divisible by 3.
  9. got to be c. Since a and b are positive remember v can cross multiply.so 8a = 5b. a can be 5,10,15 and respective value of b can be 8,16,24. from stmnt 2 gcd =1 which is only possible if a = 5 n b=8.
  10. I guess A should be the the answer . A) Because paper of all kinds is the biggest single component of municipal trash, many municipalities have tried recycling to reduce the cost of trash disposal. CORRECT Subject Verb Agree.usage of Have is also correct. (B) Because paper of all kinds is the biggest single component in municipal trash, many municipalities tried to recycle so that the cost of trash disposal is reduced. Component In is UNIDIOMATIC © Because paper of all kinds are the biggest single components in municipal trash, many municipalities have tried to recycle to reduce the cost of trash disposal. SUBJECT-VERB ERROR (D) All kinds of paper are the biggest single components of municipal trash, and so many municipalities have tried recycling to reduce the cost of trash disposal. Sentence is wordy (E) All kinds of paper is the biggest single component of municipal trash, so many municipalities have tried to recycle so that the cost of trash disposal could be reduced. SUBJECT-VERB ERROR
  11. Scientists are currently trying to determine the extent to which tectonic plates have been shifted from their previous positions by earthquakes and other similar phenomena. A) to which tectonic plates have been shifted B)to which tectonic plates have shifted C)of the shift of tectonic plates D)to tectonic plate shifting E)that tectonic plates have been shifted
