Hi, Just not doing 90 RC and 50 CR questions may not mean that you were unprepared. As people say it's not the quantity but the quality that matters. These remaining questions (especially the tough ones) will help you think like GMAT. No, neither did I have the "internal stop watch" as I c...

It may be worthwhile to change your strategy for Long RC vs Short RC passage. Your Long RC strategy seems fine but shorter needs to be more thorough I would say. Time yourself for reading a long RC and do 4 questions in 8-9 min (roughly 3 min to read the passage and 1 min to answer each question on ...

In addition, I do not know but is it OK to solve-say the last CR questions 80-124 in two minutes ? Because when I move on in OG, the questions become harder to solve in two minutes ? And they come consecutively, after a hard question comes another hard, and another... The difficulty level is high a...

Okay, so let me start off by asking you about your attack strategy for RC questions? - How much time do you spend reading a)short passage b)long passage - Do you read them word by word or skim through? - Do you pay more attention to the first paragraph? - Do you take notes? If yes what kind and how ...

I happened to take the GMAT in August and can understand the challenge you are facing in Verbal. I must say that the SC piece was totally out of whack and it was tough to identify the "category" being tested, which makes me now think a majority of it was "idioms". Also in my case...

I agree with the post above. I took the exam on the 11th and although SC felt really tough, the final score was v42. One thing about GMATPrep is that it does have questions from OG12 and Verbal2, so you may artificially inflate your scores if the question is known. Secondly, were you giving the prep...

Hi! I think if you are doing well in MGMAT quant consistently, I dont think you need to worry. However, if your scores are fluctuating, like mine were then you may need to work more. Any pointers for me to improve the Quant :) ? Regarding SC, it takes a lot of time and patience. One one of the Thurs...

Yes, definitely the CR was very close to the GMAT Prep/OG12 (700-800) level questions. SC baffled me as I couldn't classify them into cute little categories as various SC books do! Maybe they were a lot of Idioms... Practice should tell you which CR questions you are weak at.. also please don't igno...

Do find out which "kind" of questions in CR baffle you - if you are in time crunch, you may skip it.
RC - i think if you are missing "main idea" questions then it's an issue of strategy that you need to work on and can solve it before exam next week.
Good luck

I think the issue is due to "majority" (used to describe countable things)is used here to describe something that is uncountable (talk).

I think the biggest issue with A is its use of "crowd much larger". You will notice the same problem persists in C as well. This leaves B, D and E
B: Parallelism issue
D: Parallelism issue
E: correct answer

I have started to get the hang of what you are saying, but what I don't understand is if I negate Option C, (the program was not mandatory for all female students), doesn't the argument fall apart. i.e. If the females did not attend the program, how can it produce the desired result. Hence the autho...
