OG 12 #120-127 - Best way to tackle

Could somebody explain what is the best way to tackle an RC passage such as this? How do you do the initial reading, what do you write down and how exactly do you go back as necessary?

GMATPRep Marked Complete - anyway to see the question? Help!

When closing, I accidentally marked the GMATPrep test as complete. Now every time I start, it brings me back to the start screen (as if the exam is starting all over again). Is there any way to review my old answers now or they are all lost?

Thanks
I was arranging the numbers as -1, -2, -5, 5, 10, 15 and calculating the median as 0 - too much anxiety I guess :lol:

I didn't say that. A sentence correction problem could pit the two against each other, and everything else being equal, I would opt for the more concise V-ing form (the relative pronoun will almost always be the longer version, as it creates a clause, which requires a subject and verb). But I would...

the two forms are interchangeable, with the V-ing form acting as an ellipsis of the relative clause form. In simpler words: when you say "details, including your name...", you are, in essence, saying "details, which include your name" - only using fewer words. Geva, that helps a...

"that/which" vs. "-ing"

I should probably know this but I don't - in fact I am very confused. When should a "that/which" modifier be used as opposed to an "-ing" modifier.? "All you have to do is to fill in the details, including your name and address and the amount you wish to give." vs. &quo...

TIP: Clear GMATPrep without reinstalling in Windows 7

Just clear the folder C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\GMATPrep or copy contents somewhere else. Reopen GMATPRep and it will indicate that the practice tests have not been taken.

Is it OK to take GMATPrep Repeatedly?

I have been taking GMATPrep 1 & 2 very week. I clear the data from the location C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\GMATPrep. I do get some questions repeated but most of the test is new every week. I do have access to other tests (like MGMAT, Veritas etc.) that I ca...

Superprep Strategy

I am planning to practice some RC and CR questions from Superprep. Both the LR and RC questions seem similar to GMAt with some differences. What types of questions in RC and LR from Superprep I should avoid?

Thinking about other people is great but you have to think about your test as well. I could see the possibility that a proctor or even another test taker might ask you to not read in your normal voice so be prepared for that. Can you practice mouthing the words without actually making much sound? W...
