Hey I just got 1190 on mine. 760 Q, 430 V. Maybe we had the same test. All I have to say is, math should be the only important and relevant thing grad schools look at. Verbal is a waste of time and I'm really pissed. Guess I'll have to retake it as well.

I think I kind of screwed myself here. 760 Q 430 V I like my quant score, but holy crap did I do bad on verbal. The first verbal section I took after the essays I thought I did fine. Then I was given a second verbal section AFTER quant. By that point I was so worn out that I knew I wasn't going to do well. I'm pretty sure the 2nd verbal they gave me was the one used. Keeping in mind that PhD programs consider research, LOR, GPA, etc., what are the chances they'll even consider me with this type of score? FYI the PhD will be in the life sciences.

It never calls the polygon equilateral. Polygons can be all kinds of shapes. We can measure the total interior angles based on number of sides, but we can't say one specific angle will be a certain number unless we're told it's equal.

Correct. LOL @ me for taking the GRE now

The answer is 28. 3^18 is an odd number. I believe it has something to do with the fact that the exponent itself (18) is divisible by 3 while 28 is not. Probably some obscure rule which we've overlooked thus far in our studies.

S=all numbers from 1-48 inclusive V=sum of all even numbers D=sum of all odd numbers Column A: V Column B: D+23 What's the trick for these inclusive problems? Also, What's the easiest way to see which of these would be greater without having to multiply out? Column A: 100,210*90,021 Column B: 100,021*90,210 Thanks!

FYI the answer to the first one is 50. I think I'm just needing an alternative explanation from Princeton Review.

Problems like: Nicole needs to form a committee of 3 from a group of 8 research attorneys to study possible court changes. If two of the attorneys are too inexperienced to serve together on the committee, how many different arrangements of committees can be formed? OR John, Bill, Chaz, Greg, and Peter are going to be seated on a bench together. Knowing that John and Bill can never sit together, how many different arrangements of seating can there be? These problems just suck for some reason. I seem to be doing fine overall for quant prep so far because most things have general concept application, but these just aren't clicking for me. Can someone help explain a good way of attacking these? THANKS!

Yeah **** that first one. There's some shortcut I'm not seeing here. Solving the whole problem with LCD's takes forever.

I'll have to go back over the first one again, but here is the second one. Just set them up as separate equations and then plug in one in terms of the other. Here.... Remember if you ADD 20%, you are just multiplying the original number by 1.2 since it's the original number plus .2 of the original number. R=1.2S S=1.3T Since R=1.2S, we can say S=R/1.2 and we can now plug this into the second equation to get: R/1.2=1.3T Solve and you get: R=1.56T Which means 56% more.
