I am posting a very basic question:

What is the difference between a CONCLUSION and an INFERENCE.

I understand that an ASSUMPTION is something you need to make the CONCLUSION come true, but isnt the INFERENCE somewhat the same as a CONCLUSION.

I was hoping if someone could help me out with this silly little detail.

Thanks
Akhil

The two are virtually interchangeable, and should mean the same thing for the purposes of the GMAT. Why do you ask?

Dear fellow members and experts,

I needed a huge help, I am writing GMAT on 11th August and that leaves me with 2 weeks of prep time. I have not been faring well in the CR section and needed some extra practice material other than OG and Verbal review which I have already completed but has not significantly helped to improve my accuracy in the section. I tried to buy the LSAT official papers but the minimum delivery time in India for the book is 15 days which has truly disheartened me. I will be highly obliged and greatly indebted if you can provide me links of difficult CR questions (LSAT) or some worthwhile download material which have explanations to help me master the section. I really don't have time and will appreciate a prompt reply.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!
Kushagra

Hey Geva,

Thanks a ton.
I just asked because I was getting confused with the definitions and they seemed pretty much the same to me aswell.
Sorry to get back to you so late and thanks again!!

"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."
