Hi I did most of Kaplan - Manhattan - Official guide - Barrons - 1014 quant problems. I want more resources to practice.

How is the life in Boston? Specially the entertainment, is it a good place to have fun beside studying ? I'm comparing between these universities : Northeastern & Boston (Boston) - Depaul (Chicago) - Colorado (Denver) - Drexel (Pittsburgh) So, how can you evaluate Boston among these cities ?

This is an argument essay "A recent study rating 300 male and female Mentian advertising executives according to the average number of hours they sleep per night showed an association between the amount of sleep the executives need and the success of their firms. Of the advertising firms studied, those whose executives reported needing no more than 6 hours of sleep per night had higher profit margins and faster growth. These results suggest that if a business wants to prosper, it should hire only people who need less than 6 hours of sleep per night." Here is my response. The author stated that firms should hire only people who need less than 6 hours of sleep. It's clear that author connects the profit's increase with number of working hours for these executives. To be succeed in any job, it needs a lot of things to be done rather than number of working hours such as : training - quality of products offered by firms .... etc. This argument is rife of holes and assumptions with no evidences at all. So, it's not strong enough to persuade employers. First, in studies that cover a large amount of employees, 300 is very small sample. People are vary in many things, 6 hours of sleep may be enough for someone, but surly not enough at all for someone else. Some very skilled people can't work very well without enough time of sleeping. So, based on this argument, employers will ignore a huge number of skilled people. In addition, the author assumed that people who need a small amount of sleeping are profitable for their firms. Rising firms profits based on many things such as : training offered for executives - quality of services and goods they advertise for - after purchase services ... etc. There must be a detailed study among all these firms to find the real reasons for increasing or decreasing profits. It's impossible to advertise for bad products or very expensive products. Last, in these studies there must be a full questionnaires filled by these executives to evaluate their working environment. Many things may effect on their performance such as : salary - bonuses - health insurance... etc. Some firms can motivate their executives by providing a perfect environment which will lead executives to do better job. In sum, the author ignored a lot of criterias that may effect on firm's profits and focused on executives working hours. Increasing profits need a detailed studies, high quality training, and a very skilled staff. Finally, people are vary in their physical attributes, 6 sleeping hours isn't a constant measurement for everybody, some other things may or may not play a big role based on each person.

I'd appreciate it if anyone rate my essay Learning is primarily a matter of personal discipline; students cannot be motivated by school or college alone. Do students understand clearly the importance of learning? do students know how can learning effects directly on there future? It's an important issue based on how the student's environment deal with it. School, home, and student are the three sides of this issue, no one of them can has the main role and solve it alone without the other sides. The student must believe in the importance of learning, home must clarify this importance and support him since childhood, and school must provide the appropriate tools whether it's human or not to make good learning environment. For example, whether the student is motivated or not, it's impossible to him to get the needed amount of learning in a poor place, in a place that can't persuade the student to stay. School environment must be balanced between the strict teaching and other activities. School must provide activities other than the regular courses such as : Soccer leagues, outside trips...etc. In addition, It's also important to keep the student comfortable in the school, nobody will go to dirty or unhealthy place, nobody can stay and learn without having at least a standard food. In the other side, parents role is very important since it's started in the childhood. The child must understand that his life based on learning. Parents have to learn the child how to manage his time, how to set his priorities. Furthermore, parents role continued till university level, in this level parents should let the student to choose the appropriate field for him. It's a big mistake that parents have student's role and force him to study what parents want. In student's side, all the efforts that mentioned in the previous paragraphs won't make anything if the student can't manage himself. It's important to set priorities, and manage the time between study and any other activities. Student must work hard to get success, whether he supported by home or motivated by school, none of them will do anything without the student's desire to get success. In conclusion, this issue is related to a multiple sides, each side must complement the other sides to pass this essential phase of any person life. It can't based on one side to do it all and cover the failure of the other sides. Any failure from any side will effect directly on learning phase which will effect on nations' future. exactly 397 words

What about this website? gmatawa.com I think it's difficult to get an accurate score from this website !

Today I did a full manhattan test. I got 159Q & 143V this time I did bad in first quant section 12/20 ... the second one looked easier 18/20. In verbal I did bad in RC... only 5 correct answers (the previous time it was 8) but unfortunately I got 4 correct answers in TC. I think the practicing helped me to guess some answers without knowing their meanings. Here is a detailed explanation about my performance in 4 exams (2-full + 1-quant only + 1-verbal only). So, we can for 3 full exams As you see all quant topics are between 50% to 76%. So, I must practice more and more on all topics. But still now I see myself in the good way. In verbal, I'll try to do my best. I started with 138 and now I'm in 143. I'll try to reach 150 as a final goal. off course I'll put all of my effort in RC. any suggestions? comments? any other exams rather than ETS, manhattan, kaplan, barrons ? thanks

Is it true that Manhattan's Quant questions are harder than the real exam?

Today I did manhattan (verbal only). I increased my score from 138 to 142 (nice but not the goal). Actually I answered 9/40 8 of them was RC's I found that in all my practice exams I didn't answered any Sentence Equivalence correctly !!! Tomorrow I want to focus on RC + (Algebra - coordinate plane - Word problem - Data Interpretation). I'll use Manhattan guide for quant on Tuesday I'll have Manhattan full test.

That's right. First, I want to find my weaknesses. Then, I'll do the full test. thanks Tomorrow I'll do verbal only.

Back to my diaries, I started focusing on the topics that I mentioned above. Today I finished the 2nd Manhattan exam (quant only). I increased my score from 155 to 160 this is the detailed report As you see I increased my QC from 40% to 87% In the topics, Algebra increased from 20% to 50% (not enough) FDP stayed on 69% (not the goal) Geometry increased from 50% to 86% (Great but tricky, since this time I didn't face any coordinate plane questions) Number properties increased from 67% to 83% Word problem decreased from 88% to 70% (bad) As you see : Algebra - coordinate plane - Word problem - Data Interpretation will be the topics that I'll focus on. But before that, I will take another exam tomorrow. the good thing when I got 17/20 in the first section, the questions turned to be harder in the other section. I see myself in the good way to go more than 163 (my goal). However, nothing new about my verbal, I'll try to practice reading to achieve 150 (my goal). thanks.
