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.
The error of comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined using a comma.Example: Amy sings, she enjoys it.Correct: Amy sings; she enjoys it.
Schedule your GMAT (only) once you get your target score on 3 consecutive mocks!
Be cautious when you see extreme tonality on a CR question or answer choices.Example: must, most, highest, lowest, worst, best etc

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.

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 leave mocks for the end- it's a common mistake.Take a mock every week.
