1. Please make sure the original sentence has an underlined component.
2. Please provide the official answer, which is also called OA.
3. Please color the answer with white. This way the other users can actually solve the problem without knowing the answer. You can do this by highlighting the answer and then choosing the font color.
OR Use Spoiler Tags: Spoiler
4. Please provide all 5 choices, if possible.
5. Please include the source of the question ex. princeton, kaplan, mgmat etc.

Thanks TkNeo. I'm going to sticky this for a while. One additional rule I'd add.

Hello Guys and Gals,

Please do underline your original sentences, as it helps to make grip better on the sentences.

Some people are taking pain to answer your questions, at least in response you can post the question correctly.

Thanks

Hello All,

Please don't just post answers, add up some explanation to your post.
We are here to share our knowledge and not to prove that I am right and you are wrong.

Merely posting lines like 'IMO B' in answer to a particular question beats the purpose. Please share your understanding/approach as well.
All the best for your preps.

I agree to all.


The one thats dear and near to my heart is(preach this on the quant forum in almost all my posts):
2. Please provide the official answer, which is also called OA.

Please color the answer with white. This way the other users can actually solve the problem without knowing the answer. You can do this by highlighting the answer and then choosing the font color.
OR Use Spoiler Tags
Dont leave the users guessing. If they know its wrong they can work on figuring it out immediately instead of having to wait for x number of days before the OA is released.

Please put yourself in the other person's shoes :-) How would we feel if someone did this to us??

Just my 2 cents...

Good luck All.

Nice initiative TkNeo!
