GMAT Crash Course: All In One - 2

Subject : gmat

Instructions:

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. nouns
(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
Breathe - Create an internal clock around 3 minutes - Benchmark Problems
Look for verbs
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

2. Given: x+ y + z > 0 Is z > x + y + 1?
Sufficient.
z > x + y + 1 - x + y + z > 0 - x + y + 2z > x + y + 1 --> z > 1/2
Also Y

3. To Weaken
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))
Breathe - Create an internal clock around 3 minutes - Benchmark Problems
Add a countering premise
Do so

4. If there is a list...
Describe structure - Bold face - Parallel the reasoning - 'By...' (e.g. - Mary argues by...)
We are in the 'To category.' So - we bring something to the argument. It will not break the premises. For example - Mary: That guy is a newspaper reporter...; Joe: No! That guy wears a cape! Therefore - it is superman. We focus on explaining!
108 --> 2 -2 -3 -3 -3 12 --> 2 -2 -3 9 --> 3 -3 - Because you cannot be certain that the 12 and 9 share the 3.
the GMAT will always put the comma on the last

5. different ___
(1) Find conclusion (2) Relate each bold point to conclusion - Supports the conclusion - It is the conclusion - Supports the other conclusion - It is the other conclusion (3) Tell each answer choice what it should say

Analogy

7. Author is always in the middle of the road...
List each of the five based on the criteria. Move slowly.
Avoid extremes
Go straight for fractions
Many geometry problems come complete with a diagram drawn to scale. Most people get so caught up in solving a geometry problem geometrically that they forget to look at the diagram to see whether the answer is reasonable. Simply using approximations

8. Quant Problems Timing strategy
5 problems --> 65 minutes remaining - 10 problems --> 55 minutes remaining - 20 problems --> 35 minutes remaining - 30 problems --> 15 minutes remaining - 34 problems --> 7 minutes remaining - Skip between questions 3 and 8.

16. Basic tools to eliminate answers in geometry questions
Many geometry problems come complete with a diagram drawn to scale. Most people get so caught up in solving a geometry problem geometrically that they forget to look at the diagram to see whether the answer is reasonable. Simply using approximations
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
We are in the 'To category.' So - we bring something to the argument. It will not break the premises. For example - Mary: That guy is a newspaper reporter...; Joe: No! That guy wears a cape! Therefore - it is superman. We focus on explaining!
(1) What is the antecedent? Is it sensible? Is it present? Is it unambiguous? (2) Do they agree in number?

Write your integers like this

18. m is an integer - is m odd? (1) m/2 is not an even integer (2) m - 3 is an even integer
List each of the five based on the criteria. Move slowly.
3 consecutive integers are even and divisible by 3
Not Sufficient. jk = mn --> jk and mn = same numbers > 1 or they could equal 1
Proven wrong

19. Like
Cannot introduce examples -- such as must be used instead
(1) Read question first (2) Read for structure and look for gaps (3) Work from wrong to right (4) Negation test: If you negate the argument will fall apart - Answer choices that bring in new information are wrong - Look for reverse causation
S = Really strengthen s = possibly strengthen W = Really weakens w = possibly weakens - - = possibly strengthens a bit
Almost always wrong

20. Bold Face Problems
Not Sufficient. jk = mn --> jk and mn = same numbers > 1 or they could equal 1
Write your integers like this
(1) Find conclusion (2) Relate each bold point to conclusion - Supports the conclusion - It is the conclusion - Supports the other conclusion - It is the other conclusion (3) Tell each answer choice what it should say
Look for subjects

21. Given jkmn = 1 jk/mn = 1
(1) What is the antecedent? Is it sensible? Is it present? Is it unambiguous? (2) Do they agree in number?

23. 3 things to remember about roots
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))
Proven wrong
