also, don't use rc99 -- the passages in that source have been taken from sources designed for the mcat, which is a completely different test, and so will actually work against your gmat rc efforts in general.

Instead of practicing rules may be we should spend more time on general reading. you are right dude but this change will not be so simple as it sounds please share some...

@Warlock007: Did you recently take GMAT ? What was your score in verbal ? Guys, just wanted to ask has anyone tried (or have an idea about) any prep company's course. I don't mind enrolling for some online course (say Knewton) which can assure some decent success and good material as I have already...

Hi everybody, Overall to summarize my experience about GMAT preparation, I have found that SC questions in GMAT prep and in real GMAT are no where close to what other study materials offer. Though OGs are somewhat representative but still the real SCs are quite different. CR and RC were same as in ...

If a and b are both positive integers, is b^a+1 - ba^b odd? (1) a + (a + 4) + (a - 8) + (a + 6) + (a - 10) is odd (2) b^3 + 3b^2 + 5b + 7 is odd Statement 1: Can be rewritten as (5a - 8) is odd. Now this gives us that a is odd. Looking at the prompt: b^a +1 - b. a^b Now a is odd, so a^b is odd. We ...

I think I have gone on long enough..... P.S. I cannot stress the role of my family and mentors enough who kept me going even though I was on the verge of giving up a number of times. They gave me the strength and confidence to do this...thanks a lot :) Dude you just nailed the exam Down i think you...


You have performed really well on the RC and CR. SC seems to be the main weakness. Work hard on the SC and try to sustain your performance in the other 2 areas. For a 40 + score in verbal your SC has to be exceptionally good. I found the SC questions in the MGMAT to be far easier than those in the ...
