What do mean by this "Not fakes produced by some intern at Kaplan" I m asking this since i have been following kaplan books and their tests for a long time. Hi Mechmeera, What I'm saying is that you can't overstate the importance of the official material. All other questions are just copi...

Hey andymal, Congratulations! I don't know what I would do if I got a 750. I hope you're taking a moment to celebrate. A good vacation, or a great bottle of champagne? I think the part where you mentioned what the expert said was very enlightening: "The reason why most people don't get the sco...

GMAT 750 - What It Takes to Break 700
In short, you need : • The right resources • The right amount of time • The right attitude • To know what fight you're fighting I was never that great at standardized tests. I just did okay at the SAT. When I first started thinking about going for my MBA about a year ago, I went to a wine t...

Curious about the GMAT score cancellation option
My practice tests have been strong, so I don't plan on canceling my score, but I'm curious to know my options. I understand that canceling a score was always a black eye on the report, and that the score cancellation option after seeing your score is relatively new. Given that, I'd imagine that more...

Thanks all. I fully understand after the breakdown. This is a great example of a deeper question that comes to mind on quant questions like this. What would give you the clues or the signals to think to break it down? What should one be thinking, or what's the thought process to know how to unpack a...

This in an inference question, right? All inference questions ask for is the one answer we know for a fact. Part of the reason I think it's easy to find this question tricky is that it deliberately makes no sense. If an embargo requires two things such that one thing prevents the other (blockade pre...

Hi Mitch,
The notion of sample relevance (x is relevant to y) seems to come up a lot on the GMAT, and I know that presumed causation does too. Are there any other things that you think are smart to look out for?

Hey, I know it's been a while since you posted, but I'm curious how you got over the tiredness that was such a big problem for you initially: " Every single time I took on a GMAT book, I felt asleep within 5 minutes even it was 8pm, no joking!" I know that the Economist was more engaging f...

I'm particularly what you did differently between these two practice tests:
1/20 590 (forgot splits)
2/16 650 Q42 V37
It looks like that was your biggest jump. Can you recall anything you did differently then, or even perhaps what you changed in your mindset?

Thanks for the breakdown Ceilidh. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this question seems oddly like a critical reasoning question? We need to find the assumption, then pick the option that undercuts it. How often are CR like questions in RC?
