Any "additional" settings for OG Navigator?

Does the OG Navigator allow me to go by topic, or do I have to individually hit "Problems by topic" everytime I wanna stay in my "category"? Let's say, today, I only wanna do Number Properties questions - is there a quick way to browse through the questions, or do I have to selec...

Regarding analyzing mistakes

I just finished reading the article on analyzing the mistakes, and read the example of a problem solving analysis. My question is: Should I write it all down? I mean, thats gonna be a good 2 pages per question I make? The article I'm referring to is "How to Analyze a Practice Problem Solving Qu...

On planet Flarp

On planet Flarp, 3 floops equal 5 fleeps, 4 fleeps equal 7 flaaps, and 2 flaaps equal 3 fliips. How manyfloops are equal to 35 fliips?

I really don't understand how this conversion is done. Any simple explaination to this?

Thanks

RTD style question

I found a question through Khan Academy where the question goes as follows: A jogger and a walker set out at 9am from the same point, headed in the same direction. The average speed of the jogger is 1 mph slower than twice the speed of the walker. In two hours, the jogger is 3 miles ahead of the wal...

Question regarding Rons "A new way to study SC"

I just finished watching Thursdays with Ron, the november 18, 2010 video where Ron suggests that you only look for a specific fragment in each answer choice (you know, the video with the boxing analogy and getting a good grasp of the fundamentals). I don't really need to go into detail what the vide...

Re: Question regarding Rons "A new way to study SC"

cool, thanks. I have a hard time applying this concept when doing drills on modifiers though, heres why: every question i have encountered (so far...) that has a "modifier issue" in it, doesn't give me a chance to split the answer choices up, because all answer choices seem to correctly mo...

Re: Question regarding absolute value

The absolute value of -3/7 is 3/7. that ^^ is true, but it's irrelevant here: we don't have an equation that says |-3/7| = 3/7. if that were what we actually got, then the corresponding solution would be perfectly valid. here, we have an equation that says |3/7| = -3/7. that clearly doesn't work, a...

Re: GMAT PREP 1 Question

no. GMAC allows "which" to represent just 2 types of things: 1/ NOUN 2/ NOUN + (prep + noun) ...and that's it. the sample size here is huge (hundreds of examples), so you can be one hundred percent sure that "which" is not going to describe anything else. So what does this imply...

No apparent improvement during 3 months of studying

Hello, I have been studying for the GMAT for close to 4 months now (taking the test on June 26th). MGMAT CATs have ranged from 620 to 640 and Gmat Prep from 530 to 600. My quant score has ranged from 37 to 43. (Took an untimed Gmat Prep and got Q48 though). I am really unsure as to what I am actuall...

Re: Just like the background in art history . . .

I still don't really understand why the "who" makes it a sentence fragment. We do have a verb? who needs x to evaluate. What else would be needed to make this clause a not-sentence fragment?

Re: No apparent improvement during 3 months of studying

Hello, Since two months back, I haven't taken any MGMAT CATs, only GMAT Prep CATs (bought the Exam Pack 1). However, I have put everything into an excel file and marked the frequencies of my common mistakes. Here's a screenshot of the common quant errors I make: http://i.imgur.com/dARBmK...

Re: SC : Crack-GMAT Test Q

I can't digest E. For me it looks like a major run-on sentence. The greatest road system built, the Incan highway was over 2500 miles long. Can someone please explain how it's not a run-on. When I did my mock test I immediately crossed this one off. The "the Incan highway" is what bothers ...
