I was under the impression that you are not supposed to even open your mouth....If riteshbindal sits next to me when I take the GMAT, I will certainly freak out. I get disturbed very easily....That means I have to reread the question again. Thats irritating. I like the way he says "real GMAT&q...

Hi, Just an update on this. I did 5 passages without making notes and 5 passages with notes. Surprisingly, my strike rate was same with both the strategies but certainly I was saving more time without making notes. Now, I am training my head to be independent of notes :D Let's see how it goes. Next ...

Eric, I think we should get used to earplugs while taking practice tests. I just realised that I unknowingly talk (not loudly) to myself in practice tests to get better understanding of question. I may be crazy :) but that works for me. But when I will take real GMAT, it may feel odd to me that I am...

Re: IMO E
I have been rusty as I havent been preparing SC for sometime. So I might be wrong. IMO E. Here is why. B,C,D wrong because of the usage of Basic Blocks and Teeny Tiny Trucks instead of Basic Blocks line and Teeny Tiny Trucks line respectively. That leaves A and E. Consider A and split it. The Danci...

IMO B For A and C, we cannot use 3 Times with "as much as". D and E have incorrect comparison and also change the meaning of sentence. "3 times more", seems that it will be sales of Dancing line exceed the sales of Basic blocks by 4 times. Further "3 times" indicate mu...

I would go with E because, "40% more than the Teeny Tiny Trucks line" is parallel to "nearly 3 times more than the Basic Blocks line". Sreak, "40% more than the Teeny Tiny Trucks line" itself is underlined. So how can you assume that we have to make the sentence parall...

That observation may be true. All my RCs were long or atleast I felt that because they were boring. The reason I screwed verbal was because a lady started AWA next to me. That will surely screw u up. Be sure to get ear plugs. Once they are in the ear, leave them alone. If you touch them, they will ...
