In DS, when you are able to solve "too easily", you are probably missing a trap.
Q. Which integer is the highest common factor of four positive integers A, B, C, and D?(1) A= 27, B=49.
Unlike what many students will think, this statement is "Sufficient". Because no matter what "C" and "D" are, if HCF of "A" and "B" is 1, the answer is going to be "1".
Backup strategy: On the real GMAT, if you feel that you are running very short of time on the Verbal section......you must mark one RC randomly and move on...
-- Use the saved time to perform very well on the remaining questions!
Commas cannot join two independent clauses.Incorrect: Amy sings, she enjoys it.Correct: Amy sings; she enjoys it.Correct: Amy sings, and she enjoys it.
Mocks are not just for testing preparedness.They build stamina/temperament/strategy.They keep you in touch with all topics.PRACTICE MOCKS REGULARLY!
In DS, an answer is achieved only when the answer is "consistent".
Q. Is X a multiple of 24?(1) X is a multiple of 6.(2) X is a multiple of 4.
X = 24 satisfies both (1) and (2), leads to "Yes".X = 12 satisfies both (1) and (2), leads to "No"."Inconsistent". Hence, insufficient. Answer is E.
The 3 key subjunctive mood constructions:
1. If + plural form of verb.If I were the Prime Minister, politics would be cleaner.
2. Subject + bossy verb + that + base form of verb.The judge ordered that the cop take the accused away.
3. Subject + bossy verb + that + something be done.The judge ordered that the accused be taken away by the cop.
A takes 10 minutes to do a job. B takes 30 minutes to do the same. How long will they take to complete the job if both of them work together?
k x (1/10 + 1/30) = 1
Solve it for k. Answer: 7.5.
Don't leave mocks for the end- it's a common mistake.Take a mock every week.
"Incorrect Analogy"- The fallacy of drawing comparison between dissimilar entities.Or, without establishing similarity.
A favorite GMAT CR fallacy.
Example: Country X increased import tariffs and achieved good results; country Y must increase import tariffs.
Do not chase "tricks/tips/shortcuts". Chase "concepts"!
Do not chase "scores"; chase "learning". Scores will follow.
Don't exhaust official material early- it's a common mistake.Save it for the last few weeks.
Approach for solving SCs:
1. Read the mother sentence.2. For underlined part, move to answer choices.3. Compare vertically to observe the difference in the choices.4. Eliminate 4 choices through vertical comparison while reading horizontally.5. Read the sentence end-to-end before marking an answer choice.

In DS, "no" can very well be an answer.
Question: Is X = 7?(1): X is not a prime number.(1) is sufficient. Because (1) leads to "No, X is not equal to 7".
