Hey Erin and all TMians, I had posted previously in "Just finished my GMAT" forum. Didn't get an y replies, hence hoping this one's the correct one... As evident from my scores, had a disappointing GMAT experience today. Either ways, Thanks to Erin, Spidey & many others for the notes and numerous postings on this site. Great job at hosting and maintaining such an useful site. Though my verbal scores are pretty close to what they were when I started preparing about 3-4 months back:(, the notes and discussion on this site helped me REALLY IMPROVE my scores on the practice tests in the past couple of months. Unfortunately on the day it really mattered, my scores were back to where I began. Most questions in the Math section were above average in difficulty - Kaplan / Hard OG level. I ran out of time & missed the last question. Verbal was pretty tough too - level of Hard OG's. Had 2- long(about 90 lines each) RC's. SC's were pretty okay. CR's were above average, had 1-bold face CR. Overall I thought I fared pretty well on my verbal - actaully I thought I had done better on verbal than Math - Guess that wasn't the case though. 1) I am in a big dilema of whether to give the GMAT again. If I had scored low on Math I would I have blindly given the test again, because I missed one & probably made a couple of mistakes too. But the fact that I had really improved on my verbal skills in practice & even worser thought that I had done well on the GMAT when that wasn't the case, really worries me now about my judgement. Does it make sense to give the GMAT again? What if my scores fall below 640? I am worried it might further worsen my chances - ANY Suggestions/ Advice would be greatly appreciated. 2) I have about 6 Yrs. of Work Exp in High Tech. Any idea if this kind of Work Exp would compensate for the low scores, to get into the top-10/15 schools?...might sound overambitious, but I need to make a tough call on leaving a full-time job & if I can't get into the top 10 or so, it might just make sense to stay back. ANY Thoughts/suggestions/ Inputs/ Previous experiences of score v/s Work exp...would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!!!!

Anyone that can provide some input?...I assume this is the right test magic forum to post this questions....

Are the Questions in each section of the [tooltip=Official Guide]OG[/tooltip] in any specific order of difficulty? ...say acending order of difficuly, or middel 100 Q's are the difficult one etc? I may not have the time to go thru all the Q's in [tooltip=Official Guide]OG[/tooltip], so I just want to go thru the Medium & Tough Questions in each section if it's possible to find an order. Any advice to cover [tooltip=Official Guide]OG[/tooltip] appreciated.

Agreed with the Ans. Just another way... _ _ _ 1st blank can be filled in 3P1 = 3 Ways, 2nd Blank in 10P1 = 10 ways, 3rd in 3P1 = 3 ways Therefore total valid outcomes = 1 x 10 x 3 = 90 Total possible #'s = 550 - 101 + 1 = 450 Therf. Prob = 90/450 = 1/5 Is this P & C Method correct? OR Should is this a combination problem (answer reamins the same...but is it a P or C)?
