Would going to business school make sense if I want to increase my earning power from $60k to anything in the six figure range? I did well on the LSAT but withdrew from law school eight years ago, and I feel that I could definitely do well on the GMAT as soon as I understand what the test covers.

The World Bank president recently warned that the world was in a precarious position. He called rising food and oil prices a man-made catastrophe that could jeopardize the gains made in overcoming poverty over the past seven years. Asian governments are battling on their own, though it is unlikely that Asia will run into a financial crisis.

Which of the following about Asia, if true helps most to justify the optimism displayed by the writer?

A. Inflation throughout Asia is likely to continue to rise for at least a year.

B. Asia has a track record of booming economic growth.

C. Price inflation affects the middle class most as they have to spend a larger portion of their income on food.

D. Rise in food and fuel prices is an international concern and Asian governments have their own fish to fry.

E. Asian countries have large currency reserves and healthybanks.

Option D is Must be false because if during the first study, the island's seabird population decreased only when the island's domesticated cat population increased then it MUST BE TRUE that when cat pop decreased, bird pop increased.

Now actually the above statement contradicts the premise of the argument - that bird pop is 3x more likely to decrease when cat pop increases. This is because the probability that bird pop decreases when cat pop decreases will be ZERO; hence, the prob of bird pop decreasing when cat pop increases will ALSO be ZERO (because 3x more likely of ZERO is, well, ZERO), but we just saw from choice D that its probability is NOT ZERO.

So yeah, choice D is a criminal.

Two trains (Train A and Train B) leave their stations at exactly 6 pm, travelling towards each other from stations exactly 60 miles apart. There are no other stops between these two stations. What time does Train B arrive at itsdestination?

We know the distance between the cities and the departure time, hence to get the arrival time, we need the speed of Train B. Assuming x is the speed of Train A and y is the speed of Train B, we need to find the value of y.

(1) Train A travels twice as fast as Train B.

The above only gives the ratio of speeds: x = 2y, which is not enough to determine y. Not sufficient.

(2) At 6:40 pm, the two trains pass each other.

This above implies that in 40 minutes, or 2/3 of an hour, the trains covered 60 miles, so 60/(x + y) = 2/3, which gives x + y = 90. This alone is not sufficient to determine the value of y.

Capture question 2.JPG

Apply a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a +b).

$ (1+√2+√3)^2−(√2+√3)^2 =$

$ =(1+√2+√3 - √2 - √3)(1+√2+√3 + √2 +√3) =$

$ =(1)(1+2√2+2√3) =$

$=1+2√2+2√3)$

Answer:D.

Is it possible to elaborate? Not sure I understand the use of the (a+b) x(a-b)

Consider$ a = 1 + √2 +√3$ and$ b = √2 +√3$ , andapply $ a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a +b)$ to $(1+√2+√3)^2−(√2+√3)^2$

Hi All - after having used Gmat Club extensively over the past year (thank you for all your help!) this is my first post.

I applied in R2 to Harvard and Wharton this year, ie. Class of 2026. Unfortunately, I was declined without interview.

I would like someone to review my profile so that I can understand whether I have a reasonable shot at getting into either of these schools (+ a few select others) this year in round 1. I have received a promotion this year, so that would be the one major change in my application.

M, 28 years old working in London
Gmat - 750
Work - 5 years in sales & trading (sales)
Post MBA - move to buy side in the asset class that I work in (my sales role is one of the more technical sales roles on the trading floor).
University - top 10-20 globally, 2.1 degree

Other - spent 6 months in another financial hub as well as volunteered abroad post university. Relatively limited extra curriculars or awards.

Realistically

I think this is a high-quality question and the explanation isn't clear enough, please elaborate. If I put 0 at the original equation, I have it correct, why 0 is not a root?

The explanation is clear and elaborate enough.

If x = 0, then $2-x^2 = (x-2)^2$ becomes:

$2-0^2 = (0-2)^2$

$2 = (-2)^2$

$2 = 4$

The above is not correct. Hence, 0 is not a solution.

why is question 7 not A , I mean it does mention intense electric field is responsible for decay in third paragraph so technically we are weakening the intensity of electric field which will decrease the decay.

Am I reading the graph incorrectly?

How is it that the average full balance for team B lower than that for team C?
When we can see that consistently Team B full balances at end of day is higher than that of team C's?
