uff.. one day I will definitely doubt that I am singular or plural.. :( cute!! at 10:00pm, I thought “monkfish� or “fish� or “human� or “flower� is singular because it’s just a name (or “label�-Ron’s word). but at 10:01pm I thought it must be plural because “fish� means ...

Ron, so how should we call you if we haven’t learned about you well enough? :) I agree with Vinay! I always dreamed I would have a strict Teacher like This, but never had one, except some from books. His words often pull me away from dark clouds (and put me into a hole--to think more) Nah, I've ju...

Excellent explanation, Ron! The issue here, it seems, is the way you're thinking about the problem in general. Absolutely true! My mind busily run into a corner to investigate an annoying piece of information but forgot to (or cannot) return to the big picture. I.e., you're busying yourself with try...

This question has the new "cover" with sub-group data, but its "seed" is actually classical: it has a big jump from evidence to conclusion, so needs a link as an assumption. But its quant-figure made my mind stray away from the main clue. I now come back and see it more clearly. ...

It's like speaking 2 different languages. If you know both of them, you can facilitate communication between those who don't.
Oai. Done. Surrender. Are you also a lawyer?

Ron! I just came back from a lawyer's office and saw this: There are some exceptions, but that's mostly what's on the LSAT section. If A then B, if not-C then not-B, therefore if A then C, etc. Because lawyers use that kind of reasoning all the time. "Notarize" what you said :) If you get ...

Although, ironically, I focus more clearly when I haven't eaten. Hum, this symptom shows that you have a lot of accumulated energy. If you acquire more energy, it will spread out in different directions (in your body), making you want to do more than one thing a time, say, working while jumping aro...

Take what works for you. Leave what doesn't. Both work for me, but in deferent time. (that's the problem) When it comes to predicting answer choices**, it really depends on you . Some people get "tunnel vision": Once they have an answer in mind, they won't be able to notice other correct ...

This question couldn't have a choice like that, because the passage presents the exact opposite ("a very large majority ... report no charge in time spent watching television") as factual evidence. Answer choices aren't going to contradict stated facts. Oh yes, my bad. I often forget &quo...

An easy-to-make-mistake question but it looks simple at the beginning. Is there a way to create hard questions that it opens to many possibilities but still ties up at the end (sufficient), super gmatter? :)

Thanks Ron for answering my questions, This question is clear to me now, but I was little confused at the first look, so tried to understand why. To many evaluation questions, I see just focusing on the conclusion is enough to pick the answers. It's kind of evaluate the conclusion. But one day I tri...

Dear Experts, I have some questions below: 1/ Is the main author's reasoning " increasing in computer acts will result in decreasing in TV watching because of the lack of spare time--That's not true"? --> so we should go and find something to evaluate whether they (majority) still have fre...

Well, ideally, sure. Although you should be able to endure things, too. (The "enjoy" thing is ideal if it's reasonable -- but trying to have that attitude 100% of the time is like being a spoiled child.) If you come to the point you feel as if you cannot endure all things anymore, you'll ...
