Hi Abhishek, How is the raw score calculated? What does Q-51 and V-42 mean. I understand the percentile but don't understand the raw score and it seems like that is what everyone on BTG refers to. I also don't know how is the raw score calculated. I just know that on GMAT gives maximum of 51 in bot...

Can you throw your strategy for CR and the material used for it apart from OG's.
I did not do much beyond MGMAT and OG's. I did not do 1000CR. I did complete the Kaplan 800 and all the usual tests. Nothing more. I had really concentrated on SC and RC, as that were my weaker areas in verbal.

Was actual GMAT verbal more difficult than GMAT prep ? I felt that the actual GMAT was more difficult than the GMAT prep. One of the reason to feel like this is that you know that this is it. Mostly you end of second guessing and rechecking your answers. I had the luxury of rechecking my answers in...

IMO C. As C states resume directly and also uses the colon properly.

IMO C. The reason is simple. Lets not think about due to Vs because of. It is always confusing. We we have to select an answer based on this choice then we may have to go with because of as because of defines a verb. A is gone as because of or due to can be used. B is gone as it distorts the meaning...

I think the author is trying to say that the people did not change their style due to external influence as that would have required them to change their motor skills. As the change in motor skills are not significant between the 2 styles so it may have been an evolutionary step rather than external...

IMO E. I dont think the author questions the categorization, instead the author questions the causal relationship that Amsten came to for the change in style.

I think the answer should be E. As a "," cannot connect to clauses. A semicolon or a conjunction is required to connect to clause. As far as the relationship between two clause that is co-ordinating conjunction or sub-ordinating conjunction, we dont have any conjunction so we just have to ...

What is the OA. I think the answer is C. In C, it says that patients are warned due to the rule and experiments are evaluated. I think the tense should be present, as it is stating the fact.
