Hello all,

i am into my last phase of the prepn and not to mention that apart from my studies, tests, this forum is also been used extensively.
i guess that i joined the forum very late. but, still am trying to get in the maximum info and brushing up my basics.

Have one doubt nagging me, for long:
what's the difference between usage of "its and it's"


(I have seen in SC explns, its is almost always correct choice)

Please explain!!

It's is an abbreviation for it is.
and
Its is the possessive of It.

yes.

incidentally, i have never seen an official problem, whether from the OG's or from gmatprep, on which this issue is actually tested.

this of course doesn't necessarily mean that the issue won't be tested, but there is no precedent.

dally_gmat I'm not sure if "it's" a typo, but you may want to re-check your answer. Just want to make sure the wrong answer doesn't get propagated.
