Hi fuquahopeful, I see you riding in the same boat that I had been couple of months back. Until I visited a page from another forum. The fact that you are consistently scoring Q44-45 does not need you to look out for some new prep materials. Furthermore, you need to just work on the OG ques only as ...

I usually spend the recommended time limit of around 2-3minutes on long passages, and since I was getting the gist of the passage (as observed in Global questions), I thought my comprehension was pretty good. But your point does make sense as we tend to not comprehend entirely. Thanks !! The origina...

Yes, I was trapped. I felt both are correct, and came to know about the Killer word 'diminishing' only when I read explanation. This usually happens with me on all questions where I feel both answers are correct. :)
And then time pressure adds to it!! Aaarrggghhhh!!

Thanks vomhorizon for the effort to write down detailed explanation!! Try to get an idea of what you are getting wrong in RC. For example when i started my prep (RC) i was consistently getting inference questions wrong. Once i spotted the pattern i was able to go hard on them and pick a couple of so...

Yes, you are correct!! Actually overstated my conclusion as 'can assure a good score of at least 700', whereas I should be saying that can assure a score in particular section only from accuracy perspective, rest things intact. Considering the other factors on the G-day, I think a percentage range w...

Do we have any recommended range of percentage accuracy of getting OG Hard Level questions (from OG, Verbal/Quant Review, GMAT Prep Ques bank) while practicing that can assure a good score of at least 700?

Studies in restaurants show that the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presented on a tray that bears a credit-card logo.

My confusion lies here - 2 (x^2 + y^2) = 5( 5k^2 + 5m^2 + 2k + 4m + 1) Cross-multiplying (x^2 + y^2) / 5 = 2 * (Integer term) After cross-multiplication: Integer term becomes ( 5k^2 + 5m^2 + 2k + 4m + 1) / 2, which may or may not be integer and so the remainder will vary. Have you made mistake here ...

So, want to know from experts? Excerpt from OG explanation: C Correct. The two independent clauses are separated by but, and ex...
