@sj233 I agree with vineeshhp that you can score much higher if you put in more time. This forum has a lot of great resources for SC. I would also recommend that you try http://e-gmat.com. My story was similar to yours where I used MGMAT to get into 30's and then used e-gmat after that. Ultimately I...

Margret : Please find the AWA strategy link. I found that it is best to use this strategy on 10 topics from OG 12. Initially it will take you very long but if you are persistent and attempt 3 AWA's using this template you will find that AWA is not very difficult. The key is to spend the time to wri...

@deep.amagmat, I will respond to your query later.

@Margret, I would recommend that you try out http://e-gmat.com for SC/CR. I found it to be helpful and easy to comprehend. It easily improved my scoreby 5-6 points on the verbal.

I will send you some links about AWA. AWA can be mastered

Three weeks ago..I got exactly 740, 41 in Verbal (92%) and 49 (87%) in quant and I hope that this gives me...

I agree, in this case “to verb� is correct since the breathing masks are used with the intent to filter toxins. This question is already answered in the link below. http://www.beatthegmat.com/preference-f ... 10211.html

From what I understand, we should use past perfect tense to establish or clarify the sequencing between two events that took place in the past tense. Now if the context of the sentence is such that the sequencing is pretty clear, then the use of past perfect tense is optional. For example, if there ...

if you liked the figures in Aristotle Document, you will definitely like the figures with audio in e-GMAT. Check that out. One of the verb tenses file is available in the free trial .

The course costs 30 Euros, or 39 US dollars. Again, I have found the course to be more useful than MGMAT SC or Aristotle SC (I have both). egmat for SC is like Powerscore for CR. For CR, I had read the MGMAT CR book and while I liked the book when I read it, it did not provide me the tools that I co...
