Combining Inequalities: Add em up!

Hi all - in the MGMAT book for Equations, Inequalities and VICS, there is a bit about adding up inequalities... However, can someone explain why you can actually add up inequalities such as the ones in the question below? How do you know that in this case, you can't do this --> a + d < c + b? ...

table vs direct algebra?

Hi I'm confused as to whether I should always use a table with algebraic translation problems, or just do them using direct algebra? For me the table method is the easiest however I am concerned that I may not always be able to use it - i.e. that there are some algebraic translation questions where ...

Prep strategy a disaster - please please help me... Exam 3wk

Hi everyone, I'm completely stumped on a good strategy to take for studying. I only have 3 weeks to study for my exam (I can extend this to 6 at the maximum). Currently I'm sitting on practice CAT scores of around 620 - Q38-42 and V38-42. I have around 3 hours each week day of study time and 8 hours...

Re: Prep strategy a disaster - please please help me... Exam 3wk

also, I've been following Stacey Koprince's error log advice, but I'm confused - when she says to analyse a question and then do a few more similar ones to master the question type, I am doing a few from the OG of a similar type - but if I get those wrong, then I have to mark those as wrong too... a...

Re: Prep strategy a disaster - please please help me... Exam 3wk

I've been reading up on exactly what the error log should be for. It seems that it is purely for reviewing problem questions AFTER you've completed quite a lot of questions. NOT to painstakingly analyse every single one incrementally as you go along... I'm thinking I should just go ahead and complet...

error log help!

Hi, please help me on this question. This problem is doing my head in, as we say in the UK. I'm very confused as to what to do with my error log AFTER I've completed thorough analysis of a problem question - do I put it into the error log to reattempt later down the track and mark it as 'unresolved'...

Re: Prep strategy a disaster - please please help me... Exam 3wk

Hi Stacey - thanks heaps for your reply. Yours posts on analysing questions etc. have been extremely helpful (e.g. "how to analyse a practice question" etc.) and I've been approaching problem questions in that way... I've been only writing down questions I have trouble with and have got wr...

Re: Prep strategy a disaster - please please help me... Exam 3wk

Hi Stacey, Thanks for your reply! I had a look at those links for WT's - they made a lot of sense, thanks. Basically, I'm hovering on around Q41-42 in the MGMAT practice exams and I'll be happy to pull that up to Q46 as I am consistently getting around a verbal 42 so that would enable me to get arou...

Re: Prep strategy a disaster - please please help me... Exam 3wk

Hi Stacey thanks for your reply,. I've been using the tips and advice in it, very helpful. I took a GMAT prep on Saturday. Q42 V34 (640). I completely guessed a few questions, and intelligently guessed the others (which worked!)... The low verbal was due to the fact I was in a library where people w...
