Understanding the "intended meaning" is the key to solving SC questions.
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.

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".
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.
In DS, "combine" the two statements only when each statement fails alone.
Q. If X is an integer, is X a multiple of 12?(1) Two of the factors of X are 5 and 7.(2) X is a product of two odd integers.
The answer is not C. The answer is B.
In a correct sentence, each pronoun must have a clear noun for reference; the noun and pronoun must agree in number.
"Inference statements" on CR:
- A statement that can be derived from the information within the passage. -- Without the need for any assumptions or extrapolations.
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.
Key to solving "para-completion" questions on CR:
- Prepare a mind-map.- Follow the chain-of-thoughts.- Eliminate four choices to reach a choice that best completes the complete chain of thoughts.-- Beware: Consider the "complete" of chain of thoughts.--- Not just the "last sentence".

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.
