Good run down, congrats on your result. I am getting similar results on quant, latest CAT Q37,V39. Hoping to get that Q up to 47 or 48 in about 9-10 weeks. I love coffee. The only issue is that on both my cats in the last 15 minutes of both the Q and V sections I have really needed to use the bathro...

If you are targeting 700+ (or min 80th percentile on quant), how crucial is it to master quadratics? They do seem to be rearing their head in other questions, where you break down a word problem or geometry problem, only to end up with a quadratic to solve to get the final answer. I'm struggling wit...

Just watched this problem on TWR archive. When I calculated it, I approached it in the following way; The increase in the ratio from the real to hypothetical situation, expressed as a fraction is; 5/3-3/2 = 10/6-9/6 = 1/6 Therefore the increase was in a ratio of 1 part increase : 6 parts original, s...

I am just going back over the Lab #4 RC on creating headline lists as this is an area I feel I am weak on. In RC I have been spending too much time 3-4 minutes on Short passages and 5-6 minutes on Long passages. I am scoring 37-39 on verbal, so getting mostly difficult passages. Just going back into...

I am having issues understanding how C is the best answer. I eliminated C on the basis that a reputation regaining a status is illogical. Is 'regain' an active verb in this sentence? Suggesting that a reputation is an object that can gain, lose and regain a status. I chose A, on the basis that the c...

Sorry, ignoring the question then and getting to the nuts and bolts of it.

With x+y=xy
also sometimes shown as x+y/xy=1

Is it possible for x and y to be anything other than 2?

Thanks Ron!

I didn't think about 0, rookie error. This has come up where the question stipulates xy>0. I think the key take away though is that x and y have to be the same value if x+y=xy.

Thanks.

I think I have to focus on your point about not making absolute decisions. I really dug in my heels on that one and wouldn't budge for another answer.

I should have included in that stipulation 'where x and y are integers greater than zero'.

I was really hoping to take the text in the first week of May. However, all of the test centres in my area have booked out until mid-June. So now I have 2 months until test date. It is a bit frustrating, because I looked a month back but was not confident that I would get the score I would want as a...

I think this Q will get pulled. Not in correct section and you have to reference the source.

So I didn't touch the books for the 2 weeks I was on holidays. I had been in an interview process for a very good job, and then a call came in from within my company for a promotion and a move internationally. I had worked really hard not to let the first interview process affect my motivation for t...

Your biggest gain now is going to come from getting that V36 up, as you say, so I would focus on RC and CR. However, you would need to get to V42-43 to crack the 700 with a Q45, so you are still going to have to work on improving your Quant too and get that up a couple of points. CR Questions - I fo...

Hi guys, Navigator is a great resource, but one suggestion that would make it even better. I review areas by using the graphical display and going through to the subject specific area and bringing up the display box showing the list of questions answered correct/incorrect/timing etc. I want to go ba...
