If it really comes down to "guessing" on the GMAT...
- On SCs, go for the "shortest" choices.- On RCs and CRs, go for the "longest" choices.- On DS, go for "C".
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.

RCs make or break your GMAT.Practice RCs everyday!
