Finally got my official score... got a 6.0 on the essay... so the final score is 290... really happy with the score! Thanks a lot for your help... cheers sundancer

thanks guys! zorillo, I didn't study the Princeton or the Kaplan... I am not sure of Princeton, but I looked at some user reviews of Kaplan and the reviews said that Kaplan is kinda tough and the real test is not reflective of what you study in the Kaplan book ( I can't judge on that since I never went through Kaplan book). Also, I didnt want my confidence factor dented. I believe giving a lot of tests is the key. Make sure you practice the Powerprep CD tests that ETS sends. Even though it doesn't tell you what the correct answers are, you get a fair idea of how the real test is going to be. On your question about the amount of time, lets say between 30 and 40 hours... mostly on tests.... rayan, apart from the books I mentioned in my second post, I listened to AM radio on politics, sports, you name it... it helped me a little bit... on the essays, went through the GMAT essay books and picked up a couple of templates that I used for my essay... the structure of the essay is very important. I haven't recieved my essay score yet.. will let u guys know once I recieve them....

hey mohamed, I picked up a couple of books on TOEFL... Barrons and Arco... went through the tests... I believe they have around 10 tests together... also, went thru with Arco, How to prepare for TOEFL CBT... wasn't any tougher... just practiced all the tests in them... I had taken almost 20 tests in period... Practice makes it perfect!!! and more importantly once u make a mistake on a test, make sure to go through the mistake and find out why it was so... also took the Powerprep CBT tests sent from ETS. In regards to Reading, you always have a lot of time... and all the answers are right in the passage... so spend time reading the passage carefully and what the context of each paragaraph is... that'll make it easier for you to battle the individual questions through... just my two cents... good luck sundancer....

Hello, I took my CBT yesterday and got a score range of 233-290. Here is the split: Listening- 29 Structure/Written - 13 to 30 Reading - 28 Thanks TestMagic for the excellent questions in the forums and also the guidance... I had just studied for 5 days and am really happy with the result... cheers, sundancer

How do you find the closest value to this number ? (1.00001*0.99999)-(1.00002*0.99998)

If the average (arithmetic mean) of 5 positive temperatures is x degrees Fahrenheit, then the sum of the 3 greatest of these temperatures, in degrees Fahrenheit, could be (A) 6x (B) 4x © 5x/3 (D) 3x/2 (E) 3x/5 Any clues?
