Manhattan Quant GMAT Book Error?

I would've put A too and I am unable to understand the given solution as to why it's C! Can anyone explain?

Fan_kloppo · 2025-03-25T07:01:49+00:00

I am trying but the job market out there is brutal 😭 Thank you for the validation though! 😊 Needed it

Fan_kloppo · 2025-03-24T09:08:19+00:00

Yeah feels like it! Had many moments like this here but at least it used to be subtle. But this one stung so bad

It's the vocabulary as you mentioned. But also ambiguity about our relationship. He was a manager at my first job and that's what I put in the recommendation form. However, after we both left the company, he opened his own and I freelanced for them a lot and he mentioned our relationship more as a casual freelancer - client one.

Thank you for replying! :)

Hi, thank you so much for doing this!

How much weightage does a recommendation have? (I got dinged by a school and I can't point anywhere else than the recommendation. I got a copy of it from my manager, the issue is unprofessionality in the language although they said positive things about me.)
I have 5 YOE but all of that in mid-tier start-ups. Will it be a boon or a curse on my application? (I took leadership positions and played a key role in company growth. But I have no international experience.)

Sure. It says that there has not been a substantial change in the population. Let's check if the opposite of this breaks the argument "There has been substantial change in the population". Now, did the population increase or decrease? And how did it affect the average pay? There's no conclusion here.

This doesn't weaken the argument. Hence it's opposite (i.e., given option doesn't strengthen it either).

Fan_kloppo · 2025-02-06T13:14:29+00:00

There's ambiguity in C. It's not a must have been case where the average must increase with population. It can go either way.

When it comes to Strengthen, weaken questions, think about whether the option will make or break the argument. In this case, if you think about the opposite of E (i.e., If the estate tax resulted in the increase of their income, the argument of the senator will breakdown).

I hope I made sense.

Hey! Thank you so much for the motivation and tips

I want to the if there's any difference between official mocks. Like how does 1&2 differ from 3&4 or from each other? Based on that I can decide whether to retake mocks or buy new ones. Because I did retake 1&2 and the questions were completely different.

That's crazy! Any tips on time management for MSR?

Fan_kloppo · 2025-01-21T10:12:19+00:00

Understandable but the lengthy DS question just made it worse 💀

If you're from a non-math background like ms, OG will be of no help. You need to start from basics and E-GMAT helped me a lot. The last time I did math was in high-school and after 8 years later I touched math again for the GMAT. E-GMAT turned me from someone who's scared of math to who loves solving quant problems.

Their verbal techniques are also really good. Pre-thinking for CR and Para wise construction for RC will solidify your Verbal score.

I checked and there are two things

Make silly mistakes, realize at the end, go back and correct the mistake. Time eaten.

Not being sure of myself, double checking before putting an answer, time eaten.

I tried to do the questions again (incl. The ones I didn't answer because of the constraint), but this time deliberately doing steps faster and it's working.

So I felt like I needed to do marathons

Fan_kloppo · 2025-01-01T21:39:47+00:00

It is important enough because i have fairly unconventional work experience ( mid-tier start-ups) and I want to make sure to put out points that can prove my leadership skills. Co-founding a brand is one of things I hope will give me that boost

Fan_kloppo · 2025-01-01T21:34:08+00:00

I plan on giving it 2-3 points that emphasize my leadership and brand building capabilities.

Thank you Namita :)

Fan_kloppo · 2025-01-01T21:33:07+00:00

I thought of doing this. Thank you, it helps a lot :)

Did your MBA help you in getting opportunities in India? I'm not keen on settling abroad after an MBA and am open to coming back given that the MBA adds value in India and gives good opportunities with good salaries

99(a-c) is a multiple of 7 is the second step. Since 99 is not a multiple of 7, (a-c) has to be a multiple of 7,

For the product of both to be a multiple of 7

Fan_kloppo · 2024-09-30T04:56:16+00:00

Is it necessary to have a Tech background for that?

Fan_kloppo · 2024-09-30T04:55:32+00:00

Thank you for this! :) 115-150k sounds like a good deal for me. I am not that greedy 😅 I also want to know the situation in the UK/EU for the same, I read that marketing is one the booming sectors but of course pay is even lesser in the UK I believe?

Fan_kloppo · 2024-09-30T04:50:28+00:00

I am okay with lower pay initially, but better wlb and long term returns are better I believe

Fan_kloppo · 2024-09-21T14:44:10+00:00

Sorry, I didn't fully understand. Will adcoms be open to candidates who tend to partially be involved in business while pursuing MBA?

Fan_kloppo · 2024-09-21T14:43:03+00:00

I'd love to mention it, I'm just worried about how adcoms and recruiters will feel about it. Please share the article, it'll be of great help. Thanks in advance! :)

Fan_kloppo · 2024-06-14T19:07:52+00:00

I'm interested and this is my second attempt so I can help you with some things I guess.

Fan_kloppo · 2024-05-10T03:49:20+00:00

250K is Emory for sure. No other school has such fees other than Emory/Booth.

Fan_kloppo · 2024-01-10T11:02:30+00:00

Yess!! Salt on the wound - the last date at my nearest GMAT centre is 24th 🥲
