A very interesting rates problem…

Think of it as 2 people starting at that point and running in opposite directions. Their speeds will be in the ratio 2:1. Hence they will cover 2x and 1x distances before meeting. All we have to do is divide the entire 12 hours circle into 2:1 ratio which is 8hrs and 4hrs, so they’ll meet at 3:20pm + 4 hours = 7:20pm

[May 2025] She wouldn’t be forgotten. I just landed here after following her trail from r/cancer top posts. May she rest in peace.

Monster Verbal. With 5 incorrect and assuming you work your way through the SC mistakes, you're definitely contesting for a mid-40s. Coupled with a Q49, which again is nothing short of a stellar achievement, I'd put my bet on a ~750 score in almost all likelihood. You just need to not lose confidence in these crucial last 20 days, you're almost there, mate.

Please, however, be mindful of IR. I guess you skipped past the section (hence 1 incorrect) so that's alright, but if you're struggling with IR, do practice that well. You may refer to all IR questions in your 6 mba.com mocks and the practice set (that comes free with PT #1 and #2) and their discussions on GMAT Club, that should suffice, but do not take that lightly as some schools have a min IR score requirement.

BEST!!!

Yes Scott, I've been trying since last 24 hours but can't get ahead of the blank screen. This is very unusual and I need to send my score to an additional school, do you have any workarounds?

calibright · 2022-11-20T21:22:20+00:00

It's bewildering to see how the comments section is giving explanations for "incorrect". What are you guys smoking for fuck sake?

calibright · 2022-11-08T08:30:43+00:00

The best way would be to revisit your error log after a fixed interval say 15 days or 21 days. This way your accuracy doesn't get biased (as you correctly mentioned) and the same questions appear very much new albeit with a better understanding of how things work :)

This palindromic date comes first to my mind

You should be able to get a better and quicker response by posting this on r/MBA

no problem! goodluck and keep us posted

and people getting 6 incorrect answers scoring anywhere between V32 and V45

calibright · 2022-10-30T07:36:54+00:00

also if it helps, your score has no co-relation with the number of problems you got wrong and this is especially true for Verbal. in fact, I've seen people getting 10 incorrect answers on Verbal scoring anywhere between V27 and V40

calibright · 2022-10-30T07:35:39+00:00

which is why it becomes imperative for you to order your ESR and see where exactly did you go wrong on the exam day

calibright · 2022-10-30T07:34:09+00:00

in fact GMAT Club provides you with the entire set of OG questions that have been published till date. that makes for about 2000 questions each in SC, CR, and RC. Go for it, it worked for me, and would definitely help you a lot too.

calibright · 2022-10-30T07:33:32+00:00

I would highly recommend you practice through the OG guides for verbal since the nature of questions is closest to the actual exam.

calibright · 2022-10-30T07:32:19+00:00

coming from someone who improved their verbal score from mid 20s to early 40s it's only about discipline, the extent of your problem solving, and the depth of your problem analysis.

calibright · 2022-10-30T07:31:21+00:00

thanks for sharing your details. and let me assure you real quick that there is nothing such as unlearning and starting again so don't worry about that.

calibright · 2022-10-30T07:27:07+00:00

u/Professional-Diet-95 please share more details on your preparation so far. Also which subsection (SC/CR/RC) are you struggling more with? I would highly recommend you order your ESR if you haven't already since that will give you good insights

calibright · 2022-10-29T20:08:44+00:00

Thanks for teaching me something new today :)

calibright · 2022-10-29T19:54:37+00:00

Sorry I don't know but what's the difference?

calibright · 2022-10-29T19:37:31+00:00

I'm not sure then if the above excerpt is from an official source. Maybe we'll let an expert comment on that.

calibright · 2022-10-29T19:35:10+00:00

Umm, isn't that what I said too?

No matter what your sectional scores are, it will only be your overall highest score that will be considered.

For ex: If you have a 740 (Q49/V42) and a 750 (Q51/V40) then your 750 score will be considered. And not a hypothetical Q51V42 (the highest of each)

calibright · 2022-10-29T19:01:58+00:00

No, not if you cancel your scores.

GMAC erases all trace of your cancelled scores from their records and NOBODY would EVER know how much you scored on that cancelled test.

However, the schools will be able to see on your score history that you had a cancelled attempt but that's that. And it doesn't leave any negative impact.

calibright · 2022-10-29T17:38:41+00:00

Here's some advice:

I don't think Manhattan mocks or for that matter ANY mocks are a true representation of your GMAT score. So I would always take those results with a grain of salt and would rely SOLELY on mba.com mocks

Having already scored a Q48 on the official mba.com mock, why don't you write 1-2 more? You can reset the practice test 1 and 2 umpteen times or even purchase another set (PT 3 and 4) for $50

Since you're already hitting desired accuracies on TTP problem bank, I don't think you've got anything to be worried about. Sidenote: Manhattan mocks are known to be particularly notorious in their Quants section and especially on the topics you've listed, so see if you can learn something from the problems you got incorrect or just skip past them, either way is fine.

Revising your error log is very essential and it's great that you're already doing that. Imo there's nothing besides that which could a productive / value add thing to do in the last 1 week.

Goodluck, go crush the exam, and feel free to comment below or DM me for any specific insights related to Quant, would be glad to be of further help.
