Critical Reasoning

I get confused when I read that something is ___ is no less than ___. Is there a better way to word this? Is "about the same" a better substitution?

I read "no less than" in a mathematical way as "greater than or equal to." So if someone says that "he is no less tall than you are" He can be the same height or taller. He cannot be shorter.

So just think of the math symbol "greater than or equal to"

Thanks, David. THAT was what I was looking for! For some reason, my brain burns when I read a long CR passage and then look at an answer with "no less than" in it!

Thanks again!

Your welcome...hey you have about two weeks to go. How is the studying going?

Thanks for the inquiry!

I've improved on math in the past month (getting low to mid 40s.. which is good considering I started out at 27 in july then topped out at 38 before I took my 1st real attempt in late Sept.. ended up cancelling my score).

Right now, I am devoting alot of time to verbal since my math is kinda where i want it AND because verbal scoring is very unforgiving. I missed 8 SC 4 CR and 2 RC on my last GMATprep, but studied all last week on SC... I should be good there now.

It doesn't help when you have untreated adult ADD, I can tell you that much! That is why CR is probably the worst section on the entire exam for me, I get easily confused with little variations in how a sentence is worded. I am scoring near my target score though, so it is somewhat encouraging.
