mww7786,

two questions:

1. What is the specific source of this problem (what "online test" was this problem drawn from? for legal reason, we must know before we can answer)

2. How are the letters on the cube arranged?

Thanks!

As Dan said, please remember to cite the author. This is another one of ours, from our CAT, so I'm moving it to that folder.

Alternatively, just post questions from our CAT in the appropriate folder (MGMAT CAT Math or MGMAT CAT Verbal) and then you won't have to cite it separately.

You can either describe the diagram or post a screenshot.

Hey Dan and Stacy and Kim,

The MGMAT resource has been critical to my preparation. I recommend it highly on all the forums I participate in as very very important to solid GMAT prep. Congratulations on gathering together such a useful resource.

Also, I must apologize for not following the protocol earlier. I will certainly get in line.

I really wish we could organize down here in Florida. I know that we're not yet in your foundation, and therefore the PR and Kaplan guys are down here leading us all astray. I really think that Florida, Texas, Georgia would be marketable if you could get the resources together. Andrew is a genius.

Thanks again,

I believe we're getting Texas going as I type! Our physical expansion is generally going to be slow, though, as we are highly constrained by our teaching model. Simply put, there aren't very many people who meet our test-taking and teaching requirements - and we're not willing to compromise on our teachers, so that's always going to limit the speed of our growth.

That's why we do hold our virtual live courses, though. I've had people in my classes from all over the world, not just the US. I know it sounds like it couldn't be as good as a real classroom - frankly, I thought that, too, when I first joined the company! But once I actually started observing classes and then teaching via the web conferencing platform myself, I realized that it is really an elegant solution. Roughly half of my students tell me, by the end of the course, that they actually prefer it now to a regular classroom! And the rest usually say it's about the same as learning in a regular class. (We ask them about this on the end-of-course survey.)

So there is another classroom solution if you live someplace where we don't yet have an office! :)
