Understanding the "intended meaning" is the key to solving SC questions.
Mocks are not just for testing preparedness.They build stamina/temperament/strategy.They keep you in touch with all topics.PRACTICE MOCKS REGULARLY!
Do not chase "tricks/tips/shortcuts". Chase "concepts"!Do not chase "scores", chase "learning". Scores will follow.
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!
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.
Trapezium is a quadrilateral with one pair of opposite sides parallel.Area: ½(sum of parallel sides) x height

"Circular Reasoning"- The fallacy of assuming a conclusion to be true, in reaching the conclusion.
A favorite GMAT CR fallacy.
Example: Jack cannot lie because Jack always tells the truth.Example: A is true because B is true; B is true because A is true.
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.
While attempting AWA, type the first and the last paragraphs first.
- This will ensure that your essay will look 'complete', even if you run out of time.- This will give you more time to think about the middle paragraphs.
You should regularly revisit SC concepts.Make SC Stage-1 videos and GMAT Shots your good friends!
