i am not an expert but in the actual exam i did find tough PS questions too. I got one on combinations and one on probability. The probability question was really tough. Btw, i dont remember any tough DS questions. But for some DS questions i did take more than 2 minutes.
Did i answer your question?

Comparisons problem
Hi, Is there a specific way by which i can attack the comparisons problem. In most cases i am able to narrow down to 2 of them, but almost most of the time select the wrong choice. In fact the correct answer is the other choice :( Is there specific clues which i can look or spot in the question to n...

I was able to zero in on A and D, but went ahead with A. But the answer is D.
In this case why was D preferred over A? Is it due to conciseness or any other grammatical issue?

Is zero a multiple of a number
Is 0 a multiple of a number. For 10 is a multiple of 5, similarly can we say 0 is a multiple of 5.
Kaplan says so, but not convinced.
Expert opinions please?

i think the answer in D. compared with is correctly used.
In A and B since the two parts are not independent and cant be separated by colons.
C is passive. That is used to introduce essential modifiers hence E is incorrect.
Any other opinions?
