660 on MGMAT - 1

Hi, I scored 660 on MGMAT 1 - 47Q and 33V (81%Q and 69%V). I skipped the essays while taking the test. I use the following strategy in the two sections: Quantitative: I try to attempt each question in 2-mins. My initial (for the 1st 3 questions) accuracy is generally good. Then the questions start g...

Re: The total cost of producing item X is

Yes, the answer is C. I assumed that since they have not mentioned anything abt the fixed cost it did not change and marked the answer as B...:(

According to Italy's top anti-Mafia

According to Italy's top anti-Mafia prosecutor, the ailing mobster came to take refuge in Corleone, a town famous because of the "The Godfather" and near to those he most trusted. In the above SC question, is the "he" in "he most trusted" not ambiguous? Is it clear whether it is...

Does the MGMAT penalize for the unanswered question?

Hi, I gave MGMAT-2 and scored 660 (V35 and Q45). My MGMAT-1 score was also 660 (V33 and Q47). However this time my last 3 verbal questions remained unanswered. Does the final score include the penalty? If no, how severely would I have been penalized. Also in MGMAT-1, I did not attempt any essays. Th...

What is the ratio of y to x?

What is the ratio of y to x?

(1) y = 3x

(2) x = 11

This is a DS question. The answer assumes that x is not equal to 0 in option (1). Is that fine?

Regards,

Devang

Re: Does the MGMAT penalize for the unanswered question?

Hi Stacy, I attempted GMATPrep1 today and scored 710 (Q50 and V36). Before this I have scored 660 in MGMAT 1 and 2. I found Quant very easy in GMAtPrep1. In terms of Quant, I do not think real GMAT will be much closer to GMAtPrep1. However I found Verbal a bit difficult. I got 14 questions wrong in ...

Re: Does the MGMAT penalize for the unanswered question?

Hi Stacey, I attempted GMATPrep 2 and scored 700 (Q48 and V37). I made some silly calculation mistakes in Quant. However I am going to make them in the real one as well. So not point considering them as a "feel good factor". In verbal SC continues to be a weak area. I want to highlight one...

Re: Does the MGMAT penalize for the unanswered question?

Hi Stacey, Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Today I appeared for the actual GMAT and scored 660 (49Q and 31V). I am disappointed. My target was more than 670 which I felt was quite realistic. I had scored 710 (Q50 and V36) and 700 (Q48 and V37) in GMAT Prep 1 and 2 respectively. On the real ...
