2 questions (time + online exams)

hi have two unrelated questions. if these don't belong here, please feel free to move: 1) is there a clock on the official GMAT exams similar to the one within the Manhattan GMAT CAT tests - i.e. it counts down? if not, how do people tell where they are at time-wise? wall clock? 2) i understand that...

Re: 2 questions (time + online exams)

thanks a lot Stacey. Very helpful. one more thing..... i've gone through all the question banks twice. i am still struggling with some areas in quant, particularly word problems and combinatorics. whats somewhat frustrating is that i understand the logic behind the explanations. the review of answer...

Re: Solar ponds are bodies of water in which circulation is

somewhat confused.... the crux of the argument is that this method = (the water in the solar pond was first made more saline through evaporation and then diluted by a rapid inflow of fresh water) "allows for effective control of nuisance algae", correct? pls correct me if i am wrong, but i...

Re: That every worker: MGMAT CAT

For me A and D ontain " which is why" ... that's the reason I have eliminated these. Please le me know if this is correct. Thanks correct. if you attribute these modifiers to the immediately preceding noun (as you must do for "which"), then the sentences don't make sense. nicely...

Re: SC:Christopher Columbus . urgent! help!

i think that the absense of the exact <not only...but also> construction is confusing here. GMAT seems to love this idiom and i am used to seeing it in that exact format. i first scanned through all the answer choices, got somewhat upset that there was no <also> and tried to eluminate. i...

Re: Mission critical modifier SC

ricky, just my 2 cents but reason 1 - it sounds perfectly allright, but we have to be extremly careful when we encounter <which> in a sentence. we have to be absolutely positive that the clause that follows <which> modifies the right noun. based on all the discussion in this thread what ...

Re: Mission critical modifier SC

i am obv not an expert but concision is the last element that we should consider when it comes to SC. Grammar and meaning trump concision. IRT ron's rule - perhaps re-read the thread? Ron was misquoted. His rule still appies here. Y works as the atecedent of which and that is the exact reason why we...

Re: A team of Swedish scientists

my understanding is that if we take a step back, the argument's overall claim is that there is a link between eating fish and cancer (i.e. they are negatively correlated). the first boldface statement is saying that based on results of other studies, there is no such link. in other words, the argume...

Re: Polio

is it correst to eluminate answers choices that use the <still continue(s)> construction because it's redundant/akward? if something continues to occur, it is by definition on-going, and the word still does not seem to be necessary because it re-emphasizes an the fact that it is an on-going pr...

Re: EIVs Question Bank - Q9 (Greater of Absolutes): Is |a| > |b|

my general approach to abs value problems is to start with "theory" and than plug in numbers to test solutions. if someone thinks of a more efficient method, please share start with (2). it doesn't tell us anything about B and we have no way of comparing a to b so eluminate BD- > ACE on...

Re: Challenge Question 6/28/10 - Mundane Goblet

combiantions formula is nCr or n!/ r!(n-r)! we want to figure out how many possible pair arrangements (2 teams playing each other) we can get from a pool of 6 teams. we don't care exactly how these teams are going to be arranged, we are just trying to figure out some n number of arrangements from a ...

Re: MEDITERRANEAN combinatorics

think the original idea is correct (start with e and r and figure out the middle) my thinking was that we want different four letter words so the fact that we have 3 choices for E and 2 choices for R is meaningless because a word E1XXR1 is the same as E2XXR2 (where XX=XX) so we don;t want to multipl...
