Hi shakas, You've made some significant improvements so far, which you should be proud of. Gaining another 100 points in one month is a tough goal to accomplish. Do you have any flexibility in your schedule (can you push your Test Date back a bit?)? That extra time could be spent studying and makin...

Hi guys, While doing Sentence Correction questions, I realised that one of my problems is that I don't know very well the correct use AND MEANING of : - although, - even though, - while (especially at the beginning of a sentence) - yet - whereas I've tried to look at examples and meaning online, but...

Active vs Passive voice in sentence correction
Hi guys, The title gives the subject. While facing a difficult choice between two last answers, giving the time constraint, we sometimes must guess.

Parallelism

That makes sense. Thank you Brent. By the way, I bought all the module of GMATPrep, great set of materials. It helped me to go from 20 to 47 in Quant, in just a month. Whatever the results of my exam (in a month and a half) end up being, I will do a full review of my preparation, using the 60-Day Gu...

Day 23 - no practice?
Hi everyone, I am following the 60-Day GMAT Study Guide, and I am at the day 23, which, in opposite to all the emails I have received until now, does not give practice.

Hi Jim and Alexriebel.
Could you as well forward me all the mails from 23 to 60?
I have trouble planning my verbal preparation, I have "finished" my quant preparation and I am 37 days before the exam. This would be a great help.
Please mail me at [email protected]
Thanks
