DS strategy
Hello, I plan to take my GMAT in the couple of months and I have been focusing on the OG so far. I've been using the BTG 60 day study guide & while reviewing the answer choices, I see that my PS has a much better accuracy as compared to DS for the same topic. I am really not sure as to how to fi...

Now Fastfood King is planning to switch back, saying that the change has hurt sales of Fast Fries. However, this claim is incorrect, since acco...

I don't quite understand why the OA is B. I had marked it as C because I thought that the last line clearly mentions "past human maltreatment".

Correct strategy for nailing RC questions
Hello, I've been attempting quite a bit of RC questions lately and one place where I invariably seem to make a mistake is "The primary purpose of this passage is..". If I try and do a quick skim through, I get them wrong and I can't afford to spend too much time on these to get them right....
