Hi, I saw couple of times term "back-to-back" for RC passages. Can anybody please shed some light on this type of RC? What's this, how to tackle it and maybe some examples? Thanks!

I believe this refers to two RC passages appearing in the GMAT consecutively, or back-to-back. That's a lot of reading!

Thanks Eric for reply. I still don't get it though ;-(. Can you be so kind as to provide some example or so...?

I found the term "back to back" in Ursula's thread (the one recommended to read as a good example of studying) and also in one of your posts (https://beatthegmat.blocked/2005/04 ... nsion.html) where you say:

As a final note, I need to build endurance when it comes to RCs. It is damn hard keeping focus on these questions. I would die if I got back-to-back RC passages on the real GMAT, which does occasionally happen.

So I guess it's important to be familiar with this particular type beforehand - hence my question.

thanks!

"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."
