Hi lotrgandalf, I'm sorry to hear that Test Day didn't go as well as planned. When these types of score drops occur, the two likely "causes" involve either something that was unrealistic during practice or something that was surprising (or not accounted for) on Test Day. Before we can tal...

Got just 570. Completely devastated:(
I wrote GMAT today, and got mere 570 (QA-48, VA-20). I was consistently scoring V30 in my mocks. I started with verbal and was not feeling confident even for answers I was sure about. This killed my vital time. I was at ques no 22 when just 18 minutes were left. Then I quickly marked plenty of quest...

OG 2016 SC problem no. 18
I can't understand the explanation given for eliminating option D. I rejected this option, since I didn't sound right. But I want to understand the real reason. Please help.

OG 2016 problem no. 16
Can I use certain word "can lead" with uncertain "would", or am I misunderstanding this sentence? Shouldn't this sentence have "possibly" to refer to the uncertainty of the event indicated by "would"?

Hey anirudhbhalotia, Great question - this is one of those classic "Explain the Paradox" questions in which there really isn't one conclusion, but rather two pieces of information that on the surface seem to be incompatible with each other. Your job is to supply information that satisfies...

"Each Other" & "One Another"
In GMAT SC questions, is "each other" used only for comparing 2 things, & "one another" used for comparing more than 2 things? Would it be wise to eliminate an answer just on the basis of this difference? How often is this concept tested on the GMAT?

Awesome strategy. Now we have a big split among the remaining choices. (a) and (b) are both very small (less than 1/3) and (d) and (e) are both big (more than 2/3). Since 2/3 of the jury pool are men, does it make any sense that there would be a small probability that 2/3 of the actual jury will be ...

Is there an easier way to solve Q 15 diagnostic test OG'16?
My strategy: 2x3x5x7 would be around point something 10^2. 11x13 would also be around point something 10^2 And similarly 17x19 too would be around point 10^2 So, answer would be around 10^6 But I got confused since the number before point can also multiply & be around 10^1 or 10^2. Any trick or ...

Hi lotrgandalf, You can absolutely TEST VALUES on this question, but you have to do enough work to prove whether the answer to the question stays the same or changes. You seem comfortable with the idea that each of the two Facts is insufficient on its own, so I'll jump straight to combining the Fac...

OG 55 Why I can't use a smart number here?
Smart numbers can be picked if no amounts are given in the problem; when any amount or total is given don't pick smart numbers. What am I doing wrong by choosing a smart number for gross and deduction I solved OG 13, DS Q55 in the following way Guy's net income equals his gross income minus his dedu...

Can a correct option in critical reasoning, contain something that goes against the definition present in the premise? (refer OG 13 - CR question # 112) Can you post the text of the question? (It's helpful for anyone else following the thread to be able to see what we're discussing.) The difficulty...
