Difficulty level of the 8 MGMT study guide questions?

I see your point, but still grant you 50/51 points for verbal ability here. Why not 51? Perhaps you would not have taken umbrage with my stance of higher GMAT score had you registered my phrase "Cerberus paribus"!

As for learning another language, well, I hate to call you old, but, well, Stacey: you're old ;). that part of the brain tapers off at about 10! Au revoir!

I discounted your use of "Cerberus paribus" because "other things" in such circumstances can never be truly equal. :)

you're still old! :-)

Dear Stacey Koprince,

I am targeting @ 800 in GMAT. I have very specific question that whether MGMAT 8 Books contain strategy for 800 score in GMAT?

Give me ans in Yes or NO.

The material in our books is sufficient to score in the 99th percentile on the test (99th %ile starts at 760). I have had students who have scored in the 99th percentile after taking our class and using our materials.

The only people I know who have scored 800s are fellow teachers. I haven't had a student score an 800 on the GMAT. I've been in this business for 15 years and I probably only know about 5 or 6 people who have scored an 800 on the official GMAT.

I'm not saying you shouldn't target that score - I just want to give you an idea of how very rare it is. It's not like the GRE quant or the SAT, where lots of people can score an 800 on a section. (In fact, 800 on the GRE quant is only the 94th percentile!!) I have taught students who scored 800 on sections on the SAT, but never the GMAT.

In my opinion, to get an 800 on the GMAT, you also need to have some very significant natural ability with standardized tests, even beyond the natural ability that those of us who score in the 99th percentile (but not 800) possess.
