Re: how close manhattan score to actual GMAT score

Though i am struggling with verbal myself, here's a tip for RC. Read Passage 1, Summarize it and note down the main points, this forces your brain to understand the passage. The main problem occurs when our mind wanders off in middle of reading and we end up missing or even worse understand incorrec...

Re: Propelling Verbal Score from early 30's to early 40's

Dear Stacey, Thank you so much. Appreciate the time you took to collate all those articles for me. I understand that the goal is rather optimistic given the short time frame. But since i can't take more time off from work, i have no choice to go ahead and give the test. I've gone through most of the...

Re: Propelling Verbal Score from early 30's to early 40's

Re: Marta bought several pencils.

Hi, I have a doubt on a similar GMATprep Question, i'd start a another thread but it would defeat the purpose. So here it goes. At the bakery, Lew spent a total of $6.00 for one kind of cupcake ad one kind of doughnut. How many doughnuts did he buy? (1) The price of 2 donuts was $0.10 leass than the...

Hi Stacey, Just got back from the testing center, Firstly, thank you for pointing me in the right direction when the mist was at its peak. If it wasn't for explanations by the Manhattan Staff, i don't think i would have been able to improve on my verbal score as quickly as i did. My GMAT score. Q - ...

Re: Propelling Verbal Score from early 30's to early 40's

Thanks for the amazing tips Ron. You are right, i called the customer service, one should immediately report the problem as and when it occurs. Once you see the score it is highly unlikely that the Scores will be revoked. I've asked for a free retake. Which works for me since the first score is not ...

Re: GMAT Myth?

Hi Stacey, One query, understandably the pool of questions is different at different places during the same time frame. So, if you have a number of potentially high scorers (people who have been doing consistently well in verbal in their practice tests) not doing well on verbal on the real GMAT. The...
