Hi Setarhrrr, You seem comfortable with the idea that Fact 1 is SUFFICIENT (since X = Y + 2, but definition X would have to be bigger than Y). With Fact 2, you can TEST VALUES, but you have to be thorough with your thinking... 2) X/2 = Y - 1 IF.... X = 4 and Y = 3, then the answer to the question i...

Is x > y? 1) x = y + 2 2) x/2 = y - 1 Target question : Is x > y? Statement 1 : x = y + 2 Since this tells us that x and y+2 are equal, let's take the target question , and replace x with y + 2 to get: Is y + 2 > y? The answer is a resounding YES !! y + 2 is TWO GREATER THAN y Since we can answer t...

Hi @Setarehrrr, With one month, getting from where you are to 550 is certainly possible. At this point, you've got to focus on the easy and medium questions, don't even bother with the difficult ones. For math, stick to the basic algebra, fractions, exponent-type questions and don't spend time on t...

Hi Setarehrrr, You still have plenty of time to study and improve - so you just have to be disciplined about how you approach the next phase of your studies. Test Day is a rather specific 'event' - the details are specific and they matter, so you have to train as best as you can for all of them. Th...

Hi Setarehrrr, To start, it's important to remember that taking lots of CATs will NOT make you a better Test Taker. A CAT is really a 'measuring device' - when used correctly, it will give you a realistic score and help define your strengths and weaknesses, but it will NOT help you to fix any of th...

Hi Setarehrrr, Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so it's likely that you just have not put in enough time and effort yet. This is meant to say that since you've studied for just one month, you will likely improve as you continue ...
