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.
Don't leave mocks for the end- it's a common mistake.Take a mock every week.
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!
Backup strategy: On the real GMAT, if you get an RC that you just can't comprehend......you must mark randomly and move on...
- Don't let one RC decide the fate of your complete GMAT score.-- Rather, save time and get the remaining questions correct!
Present participles and gerunds "look" the same (verb+ing).However, their roles are different.
Present participle acts as a verb or adjective.Jack is running.
Gerund acts as a noun.Running is healthy.

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.
Don't exhaust official material early- it's a common mistake.Save it for the last few weeks.
In DS, "no" can very well be an answer.
