After reading through multiple GMAT books there was an interesting tip and I cannot fully remember it. With the full sentence underlined on SC questions the 2 most common answers are? I believe whichever book it was said they are D and E. Maybe the info was read somewhere on here. If this is the cas...

Thank you for the response avik.ch. I have a Manhattan GMAT SC book but it is written for the previous version. After buying a ton of GMAT books it doesn't feel good buying another version of a book I already have. Beat the GMAT and other sites are great with this kind of study material. If anyone k...

Where can we find out each type of SC question before solving them? The book tells us whether its Parallelism, pronouns, etc... with the answers. If we do not want to see the answers where can we find out which questions are Parallelism, Idiom, Modifiers, and so forth... There have to be a bunch of ...

Thank you MAAJ for your quick reply to the question. This is the same answer BTG uses in their video with the BTW Practice Questions. The part that confuses me is how/why do you know to turn the area bh = 56 to 2bh = 112? What am I missing that would quickly make us think "why dont we double th...

Algebra DS problem from BTG Practice Questions
If 3w + 2y = x, then what is the value of y? (1) 6w + 6 = 2x (2) 9w = 3x - 9 -- This is probably a very simple question for many of you but it is a big reminder for me that will truly help many of us. With this problem the x can be canceled out of the original equation so that y is easily found. Wha...

Detailed Official Guide Verbal Explanation Book?
GMAT Verbal or just detailed English is my MAJOR CRUX!! Before I took the test for the first time I knew this. Extra time was put into the English on the test, SC specifically. The OG 12th Edition was used and kind of helped. The explanations in that book baffle me. After taking the GMAT I am taking...

Great file Patrick. That is a huge help.
Does there happen to be a place full of files organized in that arrangement? It was a very easy way to learn.

Thank you for showing the simplicity of the problem. It was very easy but my mind was not catching it until now.krazy800 wrote: 32 = 2* 16
therefore 8*32 = 8*2*16 = 16*16

IMO..this might be quicker sqrt[(16*20)+(8*32)] sqrt[16(20+16)] rish how do you know to take 16 out of both sides? In the OG it says 8 * 32 is same as 16 * 16. This step confuses me on how they got there and it looks like you did the same thing. Hopefully this is something easy if explained for us....
