Yup, found it. It was hidden somewhere in the front, not near the answer keys where I thought. 590 verbal / 650 math first test, 600 verbal / 650 math second test... Guh.

Resplendent: A) Wan B) Stolid C) Shoddy D) Trite E) Palatial A makes the most sense, but apparently the answer is C. Any thoughts?

Yeah, I see it now. Dunno why the publisher decided to save the tiniest bit of ink and not print out those three extra lines. -_-

Ohhhhhh. It makes more sense for me to ignore all the mess there and just jump right to [Area of Square] - [Area of shaded bit], which is what you wrote as a^2 - .43a^2 = a^2(1-.43) = .57a^2. This is out of some clearance book I got. REA's GRE General Test prep book. Amazon.com: GRE General Test, The Very Best Coaching and Study with TestWare (Test Preps) (9780738608112): P. Alexander-Travis: Books I dunno how I feel about it. :

They go by many names - Syracuse calls it 'Information Studies,' while Illinois and UNC call it Library Science. Plus it breaks down into a bunch of specialties. Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone on the forum is applying to these programs or seeking a similar masters degree. The three schools I've listed above are the programs I'm applying to in October for Spring admissions (they're the only schools that have 'em).

Sorry if there's a thread like this elsewhere in the forum - I tried a few search strings and either I'm horrible at 'net searches (a distinct possibility, seeing how Google just always seems to know what I want so I don't even have to bother trying anymore) or there's no way to phrase this without awkwardly blurting out what I want. I have a few of those GRE prep books from a year ago, and I've been doing the practice exams in preparation for my exam on the 21st. Now, I have the scores from each section; for instances, I scored 26/30 on the second math section. Considering I have these numbers, is there any way to get a rough idea of how that would translate on the 800 point scale?

I figured out my mistake. Like all of them, it was a stupid one. The rule states that x = y. So x and y are either both gonna be positive or both gonna be negative. And I was so looking forward to getting that one right. :-(

Just found this site, and, gotta say, it's great it's around. So I'm doing GRE math prep and I ran into something I wanted to ask everyone about: For a quantitative comparison, there are 4 'answers' - A is bigger, B is bigger, A and B are equal, and not enough info to decide. The rules for this comparison are x = y =/= 0. Column A is 0 (zero). Column B is x / y. I put "D." If x and y are both positive, the result is positive, so bigger than zero, and if they're both negative, the answer still comes out positive. But if one is negative and one is positive, the result is negative, thus less than zero. However the prep software said "B" was the right answer, for my first 2 points. They just don't mention the third, that one might be positive and one might be negative. So... huh? Did I read something wrong about the rule x = y =/= 0?
