Hi, I recently took a GMAT Prep exam and scored a 44 in quant. I got quite a few questions wrong. I was able to figure out the correct responses for most of them when I reviewed the exam, but I am still not able to arrive at the correct answer for the following problems. Any help is much appreciated...

Hi, I recently took a GMAT prep exam. In the verbal section, I saw consecutive RC questions. i.e. questions 1-12 were based on 3 RC passages and questions 31-33 were another set of RC questions. I follow the yellow pad technique suggested by MPREP and it has worked really well for me, especially to ...

Thanks Stacey. Your suggestion and this article helped. I applied this strategy in the second GMAT prep exam and my score increased from 44 to 47, just by guessing on those questions related to the topics that I decided to guess/pass on. I now know which topics I want to skip and I plan to apply thi...

Thank you for the detailed strategy. I tried it once with a bunch of questions. I tried to bail on a few RC questions as you recommended and it seems to work on and off. I probably need to get better on my bailing strategy. On Verbal, how many questions can we bail? I think I have a good grasp of wh...

[Problem text removed] As 91 and 100 are the 2 extreme numbers, i thought the sum of the reciprocals must be between 10(1/91) and 10(1/10). Therefore, S is: 10/91 < S < 1/10 Then I compared the given fractions with this inequality and thought that the answer mus be "A. None" because ...

I recently took a GMAT Prep exam. I had less than a minute left for the last question #36 on the verbal section. But I seleected an answer and confirmed by submitting the response. The screen was stuck with the "please wait" icon on the center of the screen. I thought it was processing and...

Thanks for the explanation and pointing out my error! Sorry, it is from GMAT prep 3. I will make sure I don't post any from Prep 3. thanks .

So I re-took the GMAT 4 weeks after the first attempt. I was shocked to see the score drop to 540. In my first attempt I scored 620. After my first attempt, I was scoring around 640, 680, 690 on my gmat prep exams. 690 (Q47, V37) was 1 week before the actual test. I thought my Verbal section in the ...

For the first test, my scores were 620 (Q42 V 33). Second one was 540 (Q43 V22). In the first test, I felt relatively more comfortable remembering and being confident about responding to this verbal questions. In the second test, I was doubting a lot of my verbal responses even for SC which was my s...

Both for quant and the verbal I had to guess blindly for the last set of questions I was rushing through because I had 1 or less than 1 minute left per question. For 1 or 2 quant questions in the end I briefly read the question and guessed . I was spending way less than half the time I would spend o...

So I read through the articles you had suggested above and reflected on what I had done in the tests I had taken. I do use the yellow pad technique and have always been. I start the test fine and remember to have a business mindset and for the first few questions I guess, if needed, on those I am no...

Thanks for the feedback and advice Stacey! I'll start with the timed sets as you suggested and review from there. How long do you think i would have to prep before I take the test ? Would 4 weeks be reasonable?
