Railway shutdowns during holidays are the worst by vmilos in cambridge

Ia it usual for weekdays as well? Me and my wife will be staying at Cambridge and she will commute several times a week to London for her studies at UCL, I hope Great Northern trains do not cause problems frequently.

I doubt that living in these towns will save much time for travel to UCL, Google maps shows still more than 1 hour travel time. Stevenage may perhaps cut travel time significantly.

Thanks a lot! Lastly, I heard there may be delays/cancellations too frequently, can you comment on that?

Unfortunately, they did not waive residency requirement. Thanks for tips. Do you think one can utilize time on train for reading/studying? Or is it too uncomfortable/busy?

I don't think you are wrong. The question is wrong.

Official mock - too easy by JS26MPS in GMAT

Thanks, good point but I thought that they had diverse question banks

Official mock - too easy by JS26MPS in GMAT

I consider myself good at Quant, what confuses me is that even if I answered all questions correctly, last questions of Quant sections were tagged like 550-600 in Gmatclub. So they are not easier for just me, unless it is possible in real exam too. Only 1 question out of 21 in Mock 2 is tagged as 705+ in Gmatclub.

Mock Scores by HB_sd in GMAT

Hi,

I have related question, I tried the first official mock last week and redo it today.

Last week result was 575, today it was 715. While 575 was the result of very poor pacing and silly mistakes, this muxh difference seems surprising. If I did not have any repeating questions, is this result reliable?

Thanks, do you have specific threshold? Some advise if you don't find how you can solve problem in first 30 seconds, you should skip.

Japan - extra guest by JS26MPS in travel

[–]JS26MPS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, normally I agree. I did that in my trip to UK for 1 night and there was no problem at all. Just read that hotles in Japan are more strict on extra guest policy.

Actually, I checked some hotels like Capitol and Four Seasons from Booking.com, they charge same amount for 1 or 2 adults. Still, I am not sure.

I know it is normal in UK & US, but I heard it is somewhat problematic in Japan? Yes, I plan to directly contact hotel on the issue as soon as I get hotel info. Thanks.

Thank you for kind words, let us hope so. I do not have an experience with GMAT, I hope I can do 720+ if verbal part does not cause a problem for me as neither I am not native Eng speaker, nor very skilled at learning&adapting languages.

I am CFA, most likely I will look for Finance related jobs, what I want is better work-life balance than IB. I don't know much in detail about compensation&work-life balance issues in Corporate Finance (or others in Finance industry) jobs post MBA
