I took the GMAT the other day for the third time, and my score dropped 60 points and I have no idea what happened. I took it a month ago and had a 710 Q48 V42, and when I took it yesterday I got a Q48 V31. I’m just really confused and upset because verbal dropped 11 points and I don’t understand why. Any advice? Should I try again? I just feel like 11 point drop is so much it’s crazy

At what degree of distraction do you stop billing? I ask because it’s impossible to work at a peak level for an entire day. So how do you think about times when you are working but being **slow**? How does this translate into time lost in a typical day working? I know this is a function of how busy you are and the kind of work on your plate—but what is usual and unusual?

Anyone else "struggling" financially? I know, it sounds ridiculous. Two kids (pre-school), mortgage (10 yr I/O), loans (but not huge), full time nanny (7 to 7), and just life expenses. Wife also works full time and does decent. We both max out our 401k, but after all our expenses, at the end of each month, I'm stoked if we can save a dollar. And struggling is definitely the wrong word, but just curious if any other mid/seniors feel the same or had any tips. We live in Los Angeles.
