Are Reading Comprehension questions weighted heavier?

I have noticed a strong discrepancy on my GMAT Prep verbal scores. Notably, when I had 2 SC questions wrong and 4 RC questions wrong, I had a score of 40. But when I had 3 SC, 2 CR questions wrong, and perfect RC, I had a score of 44. I am beginning to believe that RC questions are weighted more hea...

Re: Why is the score trend getting higher on the GMAT

This is a most excellent set of posts with much brain power and analysis. I think Tom brings up a very good point which has been documented in BusinessWeek articles. GMAT cheating is rampant in foreign countries. I even heard of a famous Chinese GMAT taker who has a photographic memory and he would ...

Re: Preparing for 2nd attempt at GMAT

Tom, don't give up. I went from 620 to 710 and it took me multiple attempts and one whole damn year! Mind you, I was a 1500+ SAT scorer when the maximum SAT score was 1600 (Yes I am old).

MLIC GMAT Materials

I checked out MLIC GMAT website (There are quite a few) and it has really harsh things to say about its competitors including MGMAT. It makes me wonder how professional its organization really is.

Has anyone used its study guides and was it any good?

Re: Why is the score trend getting higher on the GMAT

Ron and Stacey, I am enjoying the banter between you two. =) Any specific advice on my situation (going from 710 Q45 V41 to 740)? I want to develop a strategic plan to improve my score and I am not sure how I should approach it. I have already taken a MGMAT class, exhausted all its materials, spent ...

Re: Why is the score trend getting higher on the GMAT

Thanks for your detailed response. I have already applied to and have been accepted to a top 15 school. So why would I take GMAT again? 1)I want to work for M/B/B and they take a close look at the GMAT scores. My quant, in particular, is subpar by M/B/B standards. My score of 710, although good agai...
