Thanks for the words of encouragement Brent! I just posted on my blog about a practice test I did today, and I skipped writing essays before the test. I was feeling a bit like I cheated myself out of some practice, but after your post, I feel much better! Good catch on the SC error. I'm guessing, ed...

Not sure how I would rate the essay as I am starting with essays just now myself. I do have a couple of comments though. I would break up the first sentence into two to make it easier to read. Right now, you have it as "the argument that ____ and that causes ___ is flawed and poorly reasoned.&q...

Thanks Brent! I am going to try to be a bit more brief so that I can spend some time proof-reading and reviewing. I ran out of time with this essay and had to rush the conclusion.

I will definitely have to look into this breathing exercise. I definitely have enough time to do a few during the verbal, since I generally end with 15-20 minutes left (need to also focus on slowing down). Thanks! I have the exact same problem! Will be trying the breathing exercise on my next pract...

Value of x
I just took my 3rd Princeton Review CAT, and got a couple of questions wrong on the math section that were similar in nature. Here's one such question: What is the value of x? (1) (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0 (2) x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0 This being a data sufficiency question, I answered D, assuming that x = -3 or x ...

Hmm.. interesting. It appears my understanding of the sentence was quite a bit off. Given that the OA is B, it seems that flat is indeed modifying clothing and not how it is packed. The question then becomes why is this the case. I originally took the intention of the sentence to be that the way in ...

No real information on how voters were influenced by similar campaigns --> B eliminated. C is the opposite of what is happening according to the statements --> C eliminated. If corporations were concerned less with goodwill than with maintaining public recognition, then they should have no problem w...

I agree with DCA. The passage talks about how TQM is different from older management systems, but never says that is better. The key here is that the passage implies that the "rationalist" school of management emphasizes statistical analysis while the "human relations" school of ...

I think A is right. My first instinct was to go with C too, but then I noticed the phrasing of the question. The general argument is that analysis is not effective when those being analyzed are aware of the analysis. But the question is not asking for a gist of what the argument is, but rather how t...

Just to clarify, @lunarpower, you're only referring to the usage of 'they' in option E, right? A and D both use 'they' incorrectly to refer to the emission-control standards. And your explanation of parallelism in option E is spot on! Thanks!

D it is! If the meaning of the word changes before it goes into common usage, then common usage is no longer evidence of the original idea's popularity, thus invalidating the methods used by the editors. So this assumption is heavily relied upon.
