Acquaint yourself with DNA, RNA, Protein systhesis...

Nowadays I am working on RC. I came across a few RCs on DNA, RNA, mRNA, tRNA, Amino Acid, Nucleic acid, Protein synthesis etc. I am from Engineering background, and left biology after 10th standard, so all these terminology were very confusing for me. The RCs were complete bouncer for me. But ,looks like, GMAT loves these topics. Hence, I decided to acquaint myself with these jargons. Did some googling and here are some good materials:

Introduction to these topics in very elementary terms:

That is very helpful!

The GMAT is indeed adaptable. Whenever I answer RC, it proficiently 'adapts' itself to mark my 'right' answer 'wrong'.

I think we should practive reading skill not familiarize with topics simply because we do not have enough time.

we need to understand the problem not the jagons discussed in the passage.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
