Problem with 3-2 Split

by nipunkathuria » Sat Aug 14, 2010 3:27 am
Hi Guys,

The situation that i will discuss known to all as the 3-2 split.I m usually able to recognize the questions with the 3-2 split format and separate them too,but in the end out of the 2 choices, i end up picking up the wrong answer.Getting so close, and still picking the incorrect answer is discouraging .Some experts talk about going thru the argument again after u have found out the last 2 choice , but at this juncture i m always beyond my 2 min mark which makes it impossible to make such decision.
Experts please comment.

Thanks

hi nipunk

i m not expert. in 3/2 spilt normall either one out of 3 is correct or out of 2 is correct. once u find that which contains the correct option then u have to choose the correct answer. this only increases yr probability of choosing correct option.

suppose when noun is singular then options with is and are to be separated. so out of options having is u have to select one which is correct one
