I think we can eliminate A, B, and C simply because they use comparison incorrectly. More women who wear pants than skirts incorrectly mean you'd come across more "skirts" instead of more "women" wearing skirts. On this ground alone we we can eliminate 3 out of 5 choices. Now, we...

I will try to explain the process I used to answer this question. Premise - A recent survey found that more computers than copies of computer programs were purchased by Germans last year. Conclusion - The best interpretation of this finding is that the practice of illegally duplicating commercial co...

Hi j_shreyans, I think D does not strengthen author's argument. Partly, I find D to be incomplete. First, we say all 3 ice tea beverages were sold within one hour, but we have no information on how many cola beverages are sold. Let us say on subsequent day 3 ice tea and 14 cola beverages were sold. ...

This is a Weaken question and hence, conclusion of the argument is at question. Conclusion here is - Younger children do not regard people’s intentions as relevant to punishment. To arrive at the right answer we also need to see the underlying assumption that author makes. I feel by making this co...

Hi Rakesh, That was indeed a good suggestion. I understand thing with MGMAT now. However, don't they say you should stick to only one source of study material? Studying from many will through you off the board. Isn't this true? I think it is about time that I also try other material in addition to M...

First of all, thanks Brent that is actually good option. I had subscribed for 60 days study guide but never really followed. That looks pretty good point to start. Thanks for making me aware of this again :) I will try studying inline with the study guide. @Rich - Thanks for your advice. However, I ...

Dear Ron, I was waiting for your reply and it was worth waiting for. As you have pointed correctly that - if you are just doing a list of problems labeled in the SC guide as "parallelism", then that's basically cheating, in the sense that you've removed the element of recognition from the ...

Way off the target score. Got bombed - 560 on GMAT

After 5 months of study and getting good mock scores, I have finally scored meager 560 on actual GMAT. Math - 39 and Verbal - 28 I was blown over after seeing this score on the screen. I have no clue about what went wrong. I could not sleep the night before my test but I am not sure if this has made...

Dude 610 on your first test and that too on MGMAT is not bad. But I am concerned with amount of time you have to appear for mock tests and most imp. post test analysis. I assume you will also spend at least some time on theory. Regarding the material, I too had brought Aristotle grail and other stuf...

Hello everyone, I have my test scheduled exactly 3 days from today. Rather it is just 2 days away considering it is evening here in India already. I was planning to take MGMAT 5 as a sectional test - Math section today as a sectional and Verbal tomorrow as a sectional. Is it OK if I do this? I read ...

As I started the verbal I felt the questions were little different from what I had practised during MGMAT but I thought that I was doing well. Ah! bad luck or perhaps not the right day. I am not a right guy to suggest you anything but I'd certainly like to know what do you mean by - Questions were ...

Dear GmatKiss,

I know option E is idiomatically wrong. But as I have mentioned, I want to know what is difference between two different types of "Such-As" usage.
