This is a simple formal logic problem and would not appear in this form on the GMAT.

The posting above is correct. The answer is B. It reverses the sufficient and the necessary condition in the same way that the stimulus does.

Choice A is not reversing the sufficient and the necessary it is negating them. So that is different. A says " if smoking therefore lower life expectancy" The is says "if not smoking then not lower life expectancy." This is simply negating each part of the argument and that is not logically valid. You have stated the reasons why this is not valid --- your meth addicted fisherman is an extreme case....

# ways to pick 1 Q from Ch 1 and Ch 2 each = 3C1 = 3
# ways to pick 1 Q from Ch 3 and Ch 4 each = 6C1 = 6
%th question can be picked out of any of the remaining 14 questions (Total there were 18 qs (3+3+6+6) out of which 4 Qs have been selected so left Qs = 14)
Total # of ways to make the 5 Q paper = 3*3*6*6*14 = 4536

That's none of the answer choices. Can you check the question. I think it should be 4536

Hello,

Can you please assist with this question:

The passage suggests which of the following about the "writers on management" mentioned in line 12?

(line 12 is the following in the passage:

Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing managers rely heavily on intuition. In general, however, such writers display a poor grasp of what intuition is. Some see it as the opposite of rationality; others view it as an excuse for capriciousness.
)


(A) They have criticized managers for not following the classical rational model of decision analysis.
(B) They have not based their analyses on a sufficiently large sample of actual managers.
(C) They have relied in drawing their conclusions on what managers say rather than on what managers do.
(D) They have misunderstood how managers use intuition in making business decisions.
(E) They have not acknowledged the role of intuition in managerial practice.

OA: D

I thought it was B since it says that :

Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing managers rely heavily on intuition. In general, however, such writers display a poor grasp of what intuition is. Some see it as the opposite of rationality; others view it as an excuse for capriciousness.


Thanks,
Sri

Hi,

I take my GMAT in a few days from now. I am finding it a bit difficult to shortlist the 5 schools where I can send my scores for free. I have heard some people say you should put your dream schools there and others who say you should be more realistic and put a couple of average schools to the list as well. I know I can send my scores to more schools later but I would like to make up my mind here. Please help me understand how to go about this.
Thanks

I have done a little research on median IELTS scores and their impact on a success rate in GMAT Verbal section. Unfortunately, since available resources are rather limited (at least I wasn't able to find them!) I would like to ask about your experiences. On average, non-native English speaker with an IELTS score of 7.0-7.5 should be able to achieve reasonable results in Verbal section but it's easy to imagine that a native speaker will (on average) score at least 15-20% higher. It might be interesting to compare IELTS results (academic module) with your final GMAT Verbal section score.

I am facing issue with the Modifiers when there is a combination of [Adjective+Adjective+noun - in which two adjectives modify the noun. The other scenario is [Adverb+Adjective+Noun]- in which adverb modifies the adjective, ehich in turn modifies the noun.

These two do no mean the same thing...E.g.,

for first scenario -

James Joyce is Max's Supposed Irish Ancestor

For second scenario -
Max's grandmother is his supposedly Irish ancestor.

Please clarify the difference.

Good question. I don't think there is anything you need to do NOW to "improve things" although you can (and maybe should) write your intention to take some quant courses before you matriculate. You don't want to waste your time now doing coursework (which will be anyhow more valuable to you closer to your MBA), but show them your willingness to prepare yourself well, by aaaaaaall means!

Hey there dude, thanks for dropping by!

A quick question for you as we get started: Does/will/may GM sponsor your MBA? If not, what about offer you a guaranteed post upon graduation?

On to specifics: There is no such thing as a "sure shot" into top 10 schools (well maybe, if you work for McKinsey or you come from the right family), but barring these rare exceptions, everybody has to fight for top 10 (which is incidentally, why they are top 10). As an Indian candidate, this is more the case (but thankfully you do not come from IT). I think that your chances for Top 10, all things considered are for sure there, though, but I would definitely suggest you expand your consideration to the top 20 ( I don't know that this is even a compromise). You have a lot of solid stuff all over (which is great! I see no single major weakness in your profile). However, what I don't necessarily see either (and what YOU need to work on, if top 10 is your target) is UNIQUENESS.

You are a great candidate yes! Buuuut unfortunately you come from a country which has a LOT of great candidates, so why should top 10 schools give YOU a shot over them (the answer lies not in the GMAT, my friend).

Hopse these thoughts get you started! If you got aaaaanything else at all, just leave a note,

PS - Ross is a great choice if you are staying in automotive.

Prachi,
First of all, let me say, you have a lovely profile and a lovely background (oh yeah, and that GMAT!!! well done dude!). I think you can make it into the schools you mentioned.
Can you apply now? Sure!
Might you even get in? Maybe!
But should you??? Aha!

What I mean is that do you have any real concrete immobile reasons for applying R1 (other than the fact that you WANT an MBA now)? The reason I ask is that you can apply with three years and as young as you are, buuuuut you are likely a better fit if you wait, ESPECIALLY at Euro schools who like older, more experienced candidates (LBS' average age at the MBA is 29!!!!). The disadvantages are many:
1. it lowers your chance of acceptance (young and less experience).
2. it makes you a less good fit (I assume you are 23, 24??) with the class.
3. You will likely get MORE out of your MBA if you go in knowing more.

Soooo my conclusion, why not apply next year? Take your promotion, gain one more year experience. You will still be on the low side, but instead of on the very edge of the age and experience range, you will be faaar closer to the middle...

If you have any reasons you feel you want/need to do this NOW, feel free to elaborate here, and I will be happy to share all my thoughts with you,

Best,
