The EXCEPT questions

[bnpetteway]

I'm missing those and need to pick up on how to do a lot better on those questions. Any tips about all of the questions are great. The main thing on the EXCEPT questions is that I'm bored out after reading the passage that I can't go back and look in the pasage for what the question is asking for. How can I tackle the EXCEPT questions better?

I really need a 700+ and I haven't came close to that score on my practice test.

Also, another question type is the one that asks what was the author trying to do discuss, analyze....? I often get lost. I think I found out how to tell which one is correct, however, would like some reassuarance.

If you're interested, I recently wrote an article for BTG about EXCEPT questions: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2012/11/ ... n-the-gmat

Spoiler alert: the trick is to reword an EXCEPT question so that you have a positive directive.
