On the GMAT, ensure 'completing' each section.- "no attempts" attract greater penalty than "negative attempts" do.
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!
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.
A fraction will terminate if its denominator has no prime factor other than 2 or 5.
17/160Prime factors of "160" are "2" and "5". So, this fraction WILL terminate.
13/480One of the prime factors of "480" is "3".So, this will NOT terminate.
Do not chase "tricks/tips/shortcuts". Chase "concepts"!Do not chase "scores", chase "learning". Scores will follow.
Be cautious when you see extreme tonality on a CR question or answer choices.Example: must, most, highest, lowest, worst, best etc
- Often, the key to elimination/selection of an answer choice lies in such extreme terms.
The mind-map-strategy for RCs
1.Skim through the first paragraph.Take your eyes off the screen.
2. Ask yourself the paragraph's "purpose" .Purpose is always very, very brief.Avoid paraphrasing the details.
3. Skim through the next paragraph.Take your eyes off.Ask yourself the paragraph's "purpose".Link the purpose of the first paragraph with that of the second.
4. Keep repeating Step 3 for all the subsequent paragraphs.
Do not chase "tricks/tips/shortcuts". Chase "concepts"!
Do not chase "scores"; chase "learning". Scores will follow.
