I think so. At the very least you get an A for effort - making an effort to learn and improve. Not everyone lives in a place where there is an actual class to go to. So online seems like a good compromise and certainly better than nothing. Yeah u r probably right. U think I could add a line in my r...

Do Online Courses add value? ( Coursera)
There are so many free online courses by top universities these days. They even give you a statement of accomplishment from the instructor. Will these help if you have a low GPA, even if slightly? I have a GPA of 3.15 and I cannot do anything about it. But, I have enrolled in a plenty of courses. I ...

Visiting B Schools
I live in India, and would like to plan a trip to the US to visit my dream schools- Harvard, Wharton, NYU Stern.
When would be a good time to do so?
Is it a bad idea to plan a visit some time in June-July?

I will go for E.
A,B-> Subject Verb agreement issue.
C-> it uses ... LIKE..rise in temperature does. We should be looking for "as".
D-> talks about in mouth and tongue. Additional info!
E-> seems redundant, but best option out of all these!

@Jim
Thank you! That has me a lil less worried. So, I think I ll take the plunge by doing the questions in OG 13, and GMAT prep.
Do you know of any pattern like the frequency of IR questions is more as the difficulty level rises?

An opinion on the IR Section
I took the GMAT in 2011 when there was no IR. I had to attempt those questions in an experimental section, and I was sure I did badly.
I am planning to retake the test, and am nervous about this. Any pointers on how to prepare for this? Also, any good resources to prepare from?
