GMAT Test Takers' Guide

Dear GMAT Test Takers,

You may have noticed that we have not been active for the last 4-5 days. I wanted to assure you that we are trying to develop a platform for GMAT Verbal; unlike Quant, Verbal requires real time discussions, making it essential to have an interactive platform.

We have a few ideas – Webex, Youtube Videos, etc. If you have any inputs, do share with us.

Thank You; we look forward to staying connected.

Regards,

TIME, SPEED, AND DISTANCE

Speed = Distance/Time

1- Relative speed of two objects (A and B) moving towards each other (i.e., in the opposite direction): Speed A + Speed B

2- Relative speed of two objects (A and B) moving away from each other (i.e., in the same direction): Speed A - Speed B

3- Speed of a Boat Downstream : Speed of the Boat + Speed of the Stream

4- Speed of a Boat Upstream : Speed of the Boat - Speed of the Stream

5- Speed of a Boat in still water: (Speed Upstream + Speed Downstream)/2

6- Speed of the still water : (Speed Downstream - Speed of the Upstream)/2
