Do bschools see all your scores

Do bschools see all your scores, and if so do they take your highest score?

Anatomy of the test

How many reading comp passages are usually on the test?

Is there any structure to how many DS or PS questions are on the test?

Also in terms of specific contect, is the quantity of each subject on the test random? i.e divisibility and primes, subject verb, etc.

Thank you!

How to detect topics on GMAT

Hi, What clue words should key me off to topics on the GMAT? For example, I know that when I see the word integer or must be an integer I should be thinking about divisibility and prime techniques. What about other topics covered on Quant? Also, what about verbal (i.e SC, CR and RC). Anything that I...

NP pg 38 #16

Are there any tricks to solve this question faster. Or, does it just take a while any way you look at it?

I can answer it correctly, but it takes me more than 2 min.

Thanks,

Moses

Weaken and Strengthen the conclusion questions

Should I diagram for these types of questions? The strategy guide only discusses the "w" and "s" approcah for the answer choices, but it says nothing about diagramming. And if so, should I use the standard diagram or a different diagram?

Thanks,

Moses

Test taking strategies and approach

Hi, I feel relativly comfortable with the content on the GMAT. However, I think that my score does not reflect my true skill level (particularly on QUANT). For example, when I analyzed the last CAT test I took I realized that half of the problems I missed were questions that I could have answered co...

Re: Test taking strategies and approach

Hi Ron, You are totally right about the difference that awareness can make. It seems that part of the difficulty in the GMAT is understanding your strengths and weaknesses. Do you have any suggestions about how to combat the pressure of the test? Specifically on the Quant, I always feel pressed for ...

SC pg 114 # 18

Why is the correct answer not "...that was torn..." Seems like an essential modifier would be useful to identify the particular dress.

Thanks,

SC pg 114 #11 (Who vs Whom)

Why is the correct answer "Whom we like best" and not "Who we like best." Please explain who vs whom.

Reading Comp Inference Q's

Hi,

I realize that my worst weakness on Reading Comp are inference questions. Do you have any suggestions for how to attack this question type?

Thanks!
