I’ve heard the current GMAT has no Geometry nor Sentence Correction. Is there any way to have all old material removed?

Start with sectional tests. Take 1 section then take a 10 min break then next. It will take some time but you’ll build the stamina.

The sponsoring of bodies that govern sports by companies is a common practice. However, the introduction of commercial interests into a sport often leads to reforms in that sport such as changes to the design of uniforms, to the duration of games, and even to the actual rules. For this reason, traditional views are in opposition to the involvement of corporations in sports. Clearly, the objectors of corporate sponsoring have failed to consider the long-lasting subsistence of certain sports because __________.

(A) when the sponsoring corporation of a sport faces an important decision, it gratefully accepts suggestions put forward by fans

(B) many would probably have ceased to exist without the funding provided by corporations

(C) if they had not, they would have realized that sport does not need to be played at a commercial level to be enjoyed

(D) they are less concerned with a sport's character and more concerned with whether a sport will be played in 100 years time

(E) commercializing a game can remove its authentic appeal to spectators

Trains A and B which were originally 420 miles apart began traveling towards one another on parallel adjacent tracks. How many miles from the point where train A began to travel will the trains meet?

(1) Train A is traveling at a constant speed of 94 miles per hour and train B is traveling at a constant speed of 47 miles per hour.

(2) Train A is traveling at a constant speed that is twice the constant speed of train B.

PS1: is it (120x)^2 or 120*x^2 ?

120x^2 can only mean 120 * x^2. If it were (120x)^2 it would have been written that way.

okay, my bad

did you have any technical issues during your exam? Camera shut down, you got off screen, anything else that might have caused a flag?

No, not any

They’ve stated explicitly that i was using some unauthorised device, I don’t know where it is coming from?

Proctor didn’t mention it once, i didn’t take any breaks during the sections.

crazy crazy stuff, this is all wild from GMAC. I wish they would let us set up a camera across from the computer to where the screen isn’t shown but our whole body and area is. that way if anything goes wrong or they think something went wrong then we have a continuous video showing nothing suspicious.

Consumer: The problem with bottled spring water is that it is no more healthy than well-filtered tap water, and many companies produce effective water filtration systems for home use. Further, the price of a 16 ounce bottle of water is, on average, over ten times that of the same amount of water run through a home filtration system. Thus, most bottled spring water producers will soon go out of business.

Which of the following, if true, most severely weakens the argument presented above?

(A) Several of the companies who bottle and sell spring water have gone out of business during the past five years.

(B) Because of the inherent costs associated with the bottling and transport, most bottled spring water suppliers are unable to reduce the wholesale prices they must charge for bottled spring water.

(C) Most consumers who regularly purchase bottled spring water base their beverage purchase decisions exclusively on preference for taste.

(D) Some people prefer the taste of tap water to that of bottled spring water.

(E) Because of technological advances and growing demand, home-based water filtration systems are more effective and more commonly available than they had been when bottled spring water was first widely distributed.

Mayor of Alberville: Factories in Alberville together emitted twenty percent less carbon dioxide in 2001 than in 2000. The decline in emissions was probably due almost exclusively to the March 2001 development of floating seaweed farms, the first step toward reducing carbon dioxide emissions that, in addition to being cost-efficient, was also widespread.

Scientists: That cannot be the cause. As you yourself clearly stated, carbon dioxide emissions were reduced by twenty percent. Yet seaweed farms can only absorb ten percent of Alberville factories' emissions.

Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the force of the objection that the scientists present to the mayor's explanation?

(A) The cost of the seaweed farms was covered by a tax increase to industrial firms in Alberville.

(B) The number of factories in Alberville was greater in 2001 than in 2000.

(C) Seaweed farms had a greater effect on Alberville emissions levels than any other plan undertaken in Alberville.

(D) Seaweed farms are more cost-efficient than any other method of reducing emissions.

(E) When seaweed plants die, they can be used as a low-emissions fuel source.
