You can score the 99th percentile despite getting 20% questions incorrect.
Don't get stuck on any one question!
MedianThe middle value that separates the greater and lesser halves of a set.
To find the median, first arrange the terms in a set in increasing (or decreasing) order.If the number of terms in the set is odd, the median is [(n + 1)/2]th term.If the number of terms in the set is even, the median is the mean of (n/2)th term and (n/2 + 1)th term.
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.
Don't exhaust official material early- it's a common mistake.Save it for the last few weeks.
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!
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.
What is the remainder when (100! + 17) is divided by 7?
100! is a multiple of 7. So, it leaves remainder 0.17 leaves remainder 3 with 7.
So, the answer is 0 + 3 = 3.
Approach for solving SCs:
1. Read the mother sentence.2. For underlined part, move to answer choices.3. Compare vertically to observe the difference in the choices.4. Eliminate 4 choices through vertical comparison while reading horizontally.5. Read the sentence end-to-end before marking an answer choice.
"Generalization"- The fallacy of making a claim on evidence that is too small.
A favorite GMAT CR fallacy.
Example: At 90, Mr McGill drinks sweetened soda every day and yet, maintains good health. The elderly can, therefore, have sweetened soda every day and, yet, maintain good health.
Practice RCs, everyday!The skill will help you in all sections and question types!!
Do not chase "tricks/tips/shortcuts". Chase "concepts"!
Do not chase "scores"; chase "learning". Scores will follow.
"So as to" is incorrect.
“So + cause + as to + effect" is a correct usage.
Hannah is so wise as to be admired.
