Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

1. Basic tools to eliminate answers in geometry questions
Memorize the following approximations: Pie approximately equals 3 - Square root of one equals one - Square root of two approximately equals 1.4 - Square root of three approximately equals 1.7
Seven-store retailer is singular - therefore its is the correct pronoun. one action is the seven-store retailer saying something and the sales slump -- the sales slump preceded reporting about the slump; therefore - it needs to be in the past partici
Read slower
One way: strengthens; One way: weakens

2. being
Almost always wrong
Root (81) = + or - 9 - 5/root(x) is not simplest form -->5root(x)/x is simplest - (5/(3+root(x)) --> (5/(3+root(x)) x (3-root(x))/(3-root(x))
Two independent sentences
the GMAT will always put the comma on the last

3. Verbal Problems Timing strategy
Go slower.
To (Bring new info; Avoid weak wording) - Strengthen - Weaken - Evaluate
20 problems --> 35 minutes - skip critical reasoning questions early on (strengthen/weaken) - Skip combinations and permutations; or - absolute values with inequalities
3rd Person Pronouns -- It - Its - They - Them - Their

4. Diagrams in questions the problem often format a bead on the scale unless otherwise indicated - but they are not all...
(1) Must be supported by premise (2) Never supported by anything (3) If you have two sentences - put therefore in between and see if it makes sense
On the same scale
Wrong. Year is redundant
(1) ID each question type (To - From - About) (2) What am I looking for? (3) For the question type - what does the answer need to be ...right;...wrong. (4) Work the passage (5) For the passage - what does an answer need to be right (6) For the passag

Assumptions - Conclusions

10. Joe or his friends ____ going.
