Do we get parallel reasoning questions on GMAT? In LSAT it is very common.

Jeff says you may not see a parallel reasoning Q on GMAT even if you take it for 5 times-

Parallel reasoning questions on the GMAT are quite rare and usually come when you are doing extremely well on the Verbal section. If you want practice, CR Bible by PowerScore does speak on this topic
