Hi there,
MGMAT strategy guide book presents different strategies to tackle short passages and long ones.

I wonder how we can distinguish them in the real test while there is no line number.

I know that the book gave us some signals but they're not absolute.

Please help

Sincerely,
Amir,

The only place that "Success" comes before "Trying" is in the dictionary!

Once you answer a few RC questions on the official practice software (https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx), you'll be able to quickly identify the long and short passages.
For short passages, the entire passage will fit on the screen, but an entire long passage will not fit on the screen, so you'll have to scroll down to read the passage.

Cheers,
Brent

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
