I've finally decided to write this post to encourage others that it's possible to dramatically improve your score. My early practice tests were in the low 600s (and even one at 540). I'm 5 years out of college and had passed out of all my college math classes from high school, so it was a lot of wo...

Thanks Rich. (1)On the SC part,I use the process of elimination finding 2-3 errors that make a particular option wrong. (2)I am not very sure of the strategy which I follow in CR.But I do use the POE to find the best answer.This area of mine needs improvement. (3)On the RC part,I read to get a grasp...

There are 3 things to be considered while evaluating a formal logic.
Eg,If X happens,y will happen.
Negation:If X does not happen,Y will not happen.
Converse:If Y happens,X will happen.
Contraceptive: Y does not happen,X will not happen.
On GMAT,only CONTRAPOSITIVE is true.

The decline might be due to 2 factors instead of one that is mentioned: cycling.Replacement is another one.When x(cycling)+y(Replacement) causes decline.And in the question stem,it is mentioned that cycling does not cause decline of glass(as more Aluminium cycling is prevalent than glass),we have to...

Thanks Rich. I used Manhattan SC Guide,latest GMATPREP questions for CR,and the same for RC.I have given a thought over what possibly might have gone wrong.Pacing seems to be an issue in my case.I went down very well in the first 10 questions on Verbal and then due to lack of concentration,I kind of...

Hi sameer3105, Your Official GMAT scores are consistent, which is equal parts "good" and "bad." The good part is that once you "see" things a certain way, you're consistent about it; the bad part is that while your current way of "seeing" the Quant is great, ...

Failed after the 3rd attempt
I took the exam today and scored a 620(Q49,V25).I am a non-native.In my earlier 2 attempts I scored 640(Q51,V25) and 600(Q49,V24).I am extremely shattered. I took my 3rd attempt after a period of one year of extremely serious preparation. They say that the GMATPREP is the truest measure of your stan...

One thing is clear that genre and literature are forms of genre category.However,there may be other categories other than the two mentioned. We are required to strengthen that genre dominates the market for fiction.We just need a bit of cross-check if there are other categories in fiction for which ...
