Mexicans'

Expert replies
by Ozlemg » Wed Aug 03, 2011 3:37 am
In 1985 state border colleges in Texas lost the enrollment of more than half, on average, of
the Mexican nationals they had previously served each year. Teaching faculties have alleged
that this extreme drop resulted from a rise in tuition for international and out-of-state students
from $ 40 to $ 120 per credit hour.
Which of the following, if feasible, offers the best prospects for alleviating the problem of the
drop in enrollment of Mexican nationals as the teaching faculties assessed it?

A. Providing grants-in-aid to Mexican nationals to study in Mexican universities.

B. Allowing Mexican nationals to study in Texas border colleges and to pay in-state tuitionrates, which are the same as the previous international rate

C. Reemphasizing the goals and mission of the Texas state border colleges as serving bothin-state students and Mexican nationals

D. Increasing the financial resources of Texas colleges by raising the tuition for in-statestudents attending state institutions

E. Offering career counseling for those Mexican nationals who graduate from state bordercolleges and intend to return to Mexico

I spend 5 mins. to figure out the correct answer.
How many minutes do you spend to answer it correctly? Could you tell pls?

The more you suffer before the test, the less you will do so in the test! :)

This seems like an extremely straight forward question -- too simple even by GMAT standards. 4 out of the 5 choices are off base -- and the correct response is logical and direct.

Now that said -- I can think of one reason (not the most convincing one) why this question might be confusing to some. If a person had no idea of Texas or Mexico (it helps to have some context), or more importantly what a border town or border college is -- then this might give them some trouble.
