Hi, I came across the following ambiguous question in Manhattan CAT. If the standard deviation of Set Y is 4, what are the greatest and least values that are within one standard deviation of the mean? (1) The median of Set Y is 5. (2) The mean of Set Y is 6. When you say the greatest and least possi...

Thank You , jnelson. It was helpful. After making few silly mistakes in Data sufficiency past few days, I started being skeptical at every question. I request your suggestion at this point. I have taken two cats up to now. I am always falling apart in managing the time. In my first CAT I have finish...

Thank You Nelson I have posted it in general folder.

Hi, I have taken two cats up to now. I am always falling apart in managing the time. In my first CAT I have finished my quant with 5 minutes to spare but fell apart on accuracy, I had more mistakes( Around 10). In my second CAT i consciously worked for accuracy, reading each question and analyzing i...

Hi, I came across the following problem in MGMAT cat. If x is not equal to 0, is |x| less than 1? (1) x/|x|< x (2) |x| > x Answer for this I got is A, which I feel is valid. 'A' directly tells us that |X|>1 and hence we can sufficiently answer the question. But, the explanation given in the...

Hi,
Can I know the criteria Manhattan GMAT follows in taging a question in MGMAT cat in the range of 700-800 or 600-700. I have taken two MGMAT cats and I found at most the taging is appropriate but few questions at 700-800 appeared to be easy,while few questions at 600-700 appeared difficult.

Hi, I am a non-native English speaker. I am good at speaking but I am not very confident writing. I will often get stuck searching for proper phrases and clauses to express my ideas in writing. I would like to read some books with rich English usage to get over this weakness. Request your suggestion...

If x is not equal to 0, is |x| less than 1? (1) x/|x|< x (2) |x| > x Thank You Nelson, but why do one like to plug the numbers in the statement 1, when equation very clearly yields |X|>1, on cancellation of X on both the sides. As Eq 1 clearly tells |X|>1, we can safely answer the questi...

That's a great suggestion. Well, If not all I will buy at least one of those soon.Stacey, I am also eager to know what books would help one get better in reading GMAT passages. Reading comprehension is in fact one of my weaknesses. You suggestions can go a long way not only for me but also to many o...

Wow Stancey. Thank You. I will surely try out your suggestions.

Hi Stancey, I have been consistently scoring around 700 in my practice mocks. But, my target is to score 780.Until 700 it was easy for me. But now I am finding it difficult to move ahead and above 750. Request your suggestion on the preparation required to take the score above 750. For Your informat...

Hi Stancey,

Thank You, My longing for the score is partly for personal satisfaction and partly for scholarship. Thank You, working with Manhattan will be a privilege, but before that, I know, I have to work very hard. Your suggestions are very valuable.Thank You.
