Hi guys
I just gave the official mock test on MBA.com and I got 645. Should I give GMAT exam this week or do I need for preparation?

Is 645 your target score?

Quote

Try to give mock on some other platform also and analyse your performance after that. I gave my first mock on MBA.com and got 645. But on some other platform got 555. Now I know I need to put in much more effort than I anticipated.

It is advised to get it from an official email address but in cases you can’t you can do it from the gmail id etc. Please also check if the school allows LOR’s from gmail. Some schools don’t.

you profile sounds super interesting!!! (for a detailed assessment, send me your CV and other info to shimriw@ARINGO.com.)
a lot will be riding on 2 things
- GMAT 650 (in old GMAT) wont be enough for these schools , as their averages are 730. you will need a minimum of 645 in GMAT FE (as minimum)
- Strength of application, and how unique it is. there is obviously meat in your profile, but will you be able to show it? (We can help with that

655 + startup sounds interesting. still missing so many details
- who are you? (do you come from an overrepresented background? or from a minority?)
- hobbies
- achievements
- a problem that a lot of entrepreneurs have - who will be your recommenders
- how well did you do in your undergrad degree
- do you get along with others?

I will take this one wider
Q: should I apply in R2, R3 or wait for next year?
A: if you are "ready" (=no compromise on GMAT and applications) apply in R2
if you are not ready, wait. int he US R3 is very tough, especially for international candidates, and I usually suggest waiting for R1. in EU you have lower, but still doable R3 chances

The average (arithmetic mean) of the 5 positive integers, u, w ,x, y, and z is 14, and u < w <x < y < z. If z is 26, what is the least possible value of the median of the 5 integers?

(A) 3
(B) 7
(C) 8
(D) 9
(E) 10

can anybody get a fastest way of solving such questions

Quote

Private

RudeWall927

If the average of 5 numbers is 14, its sum would be 14*5 = 70. The biggest number is 26 so now we know that the other 4 numbers should add up to 70-26 = 44.
Now to minimize the median, we need to give as much of this 44 as we can to the 4th number y but we know that y has to be less than z so y = 25
Now the sum of u, w and x is 44-25 = 19. Again, we need to give as much of this 19 as we can to u and w so we get the minimum value of x. After this point, we can use the options.

Substitute the values one by one for x and see how we can split u and w and see if we satisfy the condition u<w<x. You’ll see that we can’t substitute 3 because then u and w would be higher than x. We can’t substitute 7 because then you can’t split the remaining 12 in two so that it satisfies the condition. You either have to do 6,6,7 or 5,7,7. We can substitute 8 for x because then u and w can be 5 and 6 or 4 and 7.

Hence answer is (C) 8. I hope this helps and that it is right.

Hello guys! I’m considering buying the new official guide, but I have a few questions and would appreciate your assistance. The code for the online version, which is accessed through the GMAT official practice site, comes exclusively with the book, correct? There’s no need to delete my existing mba.com account, and create a new one right? Additionally, the mock tests are different from the ones in the official guide for 2023-2024, aren’t they?

Gmatguy007

Hi Gmatguy007, to add to what TanyaTathgir said, there are no mock tests in any of the recent OGs (the old OGs used to have a non-adaptive diagnostic test, but that was just a regular question set). The questions in those books can be used to create quizzes on the online platform, but if you’re looking for full-length practice tests , you’ll want to get the official practice tests (2 free and 4 paid). You can find the free tests here: https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/gmat-official-starter-kit

Hi Su_bha, you can retake the paid tests once. The question pool remains the same even if you repurchase, so we can’t really know how many repeat questions you’ll get.

If you want to buy a course then you may visit Gmat course review link and decide accordingly by taking the free trial of a course that aligns your needs . Here is the link: https://gmatclub.com/reviews/gmat_courses/ But if you need YT videos then I would suggest go to either Gmat Ninja or Manhattan on youtube and may watch their videos to get the sense of clarity of the fundamentals.

I gave an official mock on MBA.com and one here on GMAT club.
I felt that there was a difference in difficulty level of both the tests. (GMAT Club being more difficult). In the analysis sheet I saw that of the 64 questions - 10 were easy, 10 - medium and 44 - difficult.
Is this something I should expect on the actual Gmat exam, or is it more akin to the difficulty on Official Mock?
