Approach for CR boldface questions:
Step 1: Identify the conclusion.Step 2: Link the bold part(s) with the conclusion.Step 3: Know what to expect from the correct answer choice.Step 4: Eliminate four choices.
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".
Practice RCs, everyday!The skill will help you in all sections and question types!!
In DS, beware of "exceptions".
Q. Is X positive?(1) |X| = X.
Because of the exception "X = 0" case, this statement is insufficient.
"Like" is used for "comparing nouns"."As" is used for "comparing actions"."Such as" is used for "giving examples".
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.

On the verbal section, be cautious when you see an answer choice with "extreme" emotion.
Answer choices with "moderate" tonality have a higher probability of being correct.
