Bryant, That's very encouraging news. I plan on applying for the Fall of 2011, so I hopefully will have some time to pull together some good personal essays. Here are a couple of points I was thinking about emphasizing: 1. I graduated in four years from WMU, where the average graduation rate in engi...

Lost in the dark. What is my potential?
I just took the GMAT a week ago and I scored a 710 (92nd %) with a 38V (83rd %), a 48Q (83rd %), and a 6.0 AWA (90th %). It was the first time I took the test, and I studied for about 6 months to get it, so I don't imagine I could get much higher. My undergrad was at Western Michigan University in E...

The least common factor of two numbers m and p is the lowest number than can be divided evenly into either number. For instance, 3 is the least common factor for 9 and 12. the least common multiple of two numbers m and p is the lowest number that has both m and p as factors. For instance, 15 is the ...

The answer is (A), Statement 1 alone is sufficient.
Statement 2 says that 30 is least common factor (LCF), not the least common multiple (LCM). The explanation for Statement 1 sounds good, though.

It was my understanding that |x| was the distance along a number line that x was from zero, and since x cannot be a negative distance from zero, |x| had to be a positive number no matter whether x was negative or not? How can |x| be equal to -x?

factors and remainders
The integers m and p are such that 2<m<p and m is not a factor of p. If r is the remainder when p is divided by m, is r>1?
(1) The greatest common factor of m and p is 2
(2) The least common factor of m and p is 30
I'm not finding an easy solution to this problem. Can anyone help?

square roots and absolute values
If x<0, then sqrt(-x|x|) is
(A) -x
(B) -1
(C) 1
(D) x
(E) sqrt(x)
Anyone know the answer to this? An explanation would be great.

The answer is b. When you multiply *m* by 25, it's the same thing as multiplying it by 5^2. 5^2 would fall into the second part of the term, 5^b and corresponds with the hundreds digit of the number m and n. If this is the only difference between the two numbers, then m-n would end up being 200. b.
