Most people who take mock tests from a leading test prep company as prescribed and score more than 95% in them do well on GMAT. Therefore, Jonny is sure to score over 720 on GMAT.

Which of the following 2 options(THERE ARE TWO CORRECT ANSWERS)weaken the above argument:

1)while Jonny consistently scores 95% or more in quant portion of GMAT, he does not score as high on the verbal
2)Ronny who did well on MAG's mock tests, a leading test prep company, scoring more tha n 95% ended up failing short of his dream score on the GMAT
3)While Jonny has scored well on multiple mock tests, he does not complete mock tests as recommended in one sitting
4)A few of Jonny's tests in which he has scored more than 95% have been from a questionable sources
5)Jonny has difficulty reading long passages and concentrating together for more than 2 hours at a time
6)Jonny study buddy, who Jonny praises for his competence in quants section of GMAT scored 700 on his GMAT last year

Pls explain your picks.

hey you posted another question which *assumes* Jonny took mock tests from leading prep companies?

do you make these questions up? why you suppress the source? Do you think people will eat *caviar* just because it's written caviar on it. I usually read the argument first and then answer the question. In this argument there is a logical "hole" between Jonny and the main premise cited.
