Guys now, after taking a break from SC, i'm pushing myself hard in CR and RC...though m not that weak in CR but yes i'm weak in questions which include FORMAL LOGIC. It take me a lot of time to solve such questions which i can't afford.

Please answer my below questions:

1) GMAT test FORMAL LOGIC or NOT???

2) So far i have seen the FORMAL LOGIC questions are of "DRAW THE CONCLUSION" type i guess. Is this FORMAL LOGIC be tested in other type of questions also????

Please suggest.

Regards
Atul

How are you defining "formal logic"? I would say strictly speaking that formal logic is mathematical logic which the GMAT doesn't test in as much as informal logic doesn't necessarily require formal logic (ie the GMAT doesn't require you to know set theory or what a venn diagram is).

In fact the best CR book (IMHO) doesn't mention formal logic and further doesn't really discuss common logic fallacies (such as "affirming the consequent") although it doesn't hurt to know those especially for weaken and flaw in the reasoning questions.

"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."
