@IneffableMind did u get 4 experimental math sections? and was the section w the 2 planes experimental?? it was the last question

@isuxatsat101 did u get 4 exp math sections

did u get 4 exp math sections?

WAS THE QUESTION WITH THE TWO PLANES INTHE MATH SECTION (tHe last question) AN EXPERIMENTALLLLL?

@BobbyMD did u gwt 4 math exp sectoons?

For the octopus question, I put that as the error shouldn’t it be those?

the writing section (the long one) was a lot harder than practice tests (blue book) imo

@d00mbuggy I might have, I don’t remember whether I had an extra math or writing section (I know it wasn’t reading).

I had 4 math sections as well but the section with the planes was NOT experimental. My math experimental explained some situation with tires and then asked questions 7 - 10 based on that info. It was so obvious that I barely tried.

@IneffableMind nah i think that was experimental bc it had other hard questions with (x-5)(x+5) … blah blah … i had the normal grid in section and 20 min section and 2 25 mins one… one of the 25 mins one had 2 planes question and the other 25 mins one was much easier

Hey any of you remember what answer choice the perimeter of the square was?

For the Maria one. The error was much later because shouldnt it be “Had maria left any later, she would have missed the bus”

Did anyone get reader have similar experiences for one of the reading section (procrastination one)or did you put vivid memories?

Can anyone list out all the answer choices for the square perimeter one? I think I missed up lol

Similar experiencs

Did anyone put appealing but erroneous?

I feel like that choixe choice is wrong

Maria one- no error
Technology one- error with incorporating
Director one- no error
Octupus one- compared to… it should be compared with (http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/compare)

the last one, everyone is saying they got two As (last writing section). however, i believe option A was wrong because of a missing word, and it should be option C.

A few observations about “compare to” versus “compare with”:

  1. The GMAT prep site linked above has some incorrect information from a casual user. A grammar link from a second user and the post from the GMAT prep teacher at the end of the page both contradict the distinction drawn by the first user.

You should consult a reliable grammar site, such as
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/compare-with-or-compare-to

  1. When “to compare” means “to estimate the similarities and differences”, then it is correct to use either “to” or “with”. However, American English prefers “to” when both are correct.

Example: The real estate agent compared the price of the house to/with those of other properties in the area.

  1. When “compare” is used to indicate similarity or analogy, then it is obligatory to use “to”.

Example: The real estate agent thought the price of the house was comparable TO those of other properties in the area.
(That is, he thought the price was SIMILAR TO the other prices.)

  1. Conclusion: If a sentence uses “compare” to indicate similarity, then it is obligatory to use “to.” If the sentence indicates an evaluation of similarities and differences, then it is correct to use “to.” In either of these cases, “to” is not an error.

for the colorado one i felt like particularly was wrong since it is an adverb and can’t be used to describe winter sports
