Tactical Strategies for Mock tests
My goal today!! 1. How you are going to approach your preparation? 2. Why are core skills important? 3. How to evaluate whether you are learning/improving (consequence)?
–
Strategy: What does it mean and why do we need one… Strategy: A plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal. Good Strategy: Provides maximum benefit with the least input by capitalizing on strengths… and overcoming the weakness Hallmarks of Good strategy: 1. Define a goal. 2. Analyze the situation and your current strengths 3. Have good assumptions. 4. Plan and execute. A good strategy is personal, is devised by you, and has numerous checks to ensure that you are going in the right direction.

Core skills in quant + Why do Non- Natives Struggle? Jacob is now 12 years younger than Michael. If 9 years from now Michael will be twice as old as Jacob, how old will Jacob be in 4 years? A) 3 B) 7 C)15 D)21 E)25
How did you solve this question? • By making equations • Using number substitution • Using formula
Your brain is already wired to solve this question. You do not need to consciously apply a formula or a shortcut to solve it.
For Verbal, we need to create these connections. Following the e-GMAT process helps us do that.
Jacob and Michel Jacob is now 12 years younger than Michael. If 9 years from now Michael will be twice as old as Jacob, how old will Jacob be in 4 years? A) 3 B) 7 C)15 D)21 E)25
J = Jacob
M = Michael
Today: J+12 = M
9 years from Now 2*(J + 9) = M+9 2J+9 = M Solving: J+12 = 2J+9 J = 3 today and 7 => 4 years from now.

What do third graders learn – Reading Comprehension
CR Bold Face Question…. (semi difficult) Stock prices of companies that exceed $100B in revenue, also called Extremely Large Caps (ELC) rarely beat the market over a 5 year period. It is commonly thought that this happens because these companies are too big to grow faster than the overall market. However, studies show that ELC’s that provide higher returns than the market over a 5 year period, a majority of them are run by their founders. Since most of the ELC’s are run by professional management that is inherently risk averse; the studies’ finding strongly suggests that the real reason why most ELC’s don’t beat the market is not that they are too big to grow but rather that they are run by
professional management that is too risk averse.
What role do the two boldfaced selections play in the above argument? A. The first is a claim, the accuracy of which is at issue in the argument; the second is a conclusion drawn on the basis of that claim. B. The first is an objection that has been raised against a position defended in the argument; the second is that position. C. The first is evidence that has been used to support an explanation that the argument favors; the second is that explanation. D. The first is evidence that has been used to support an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is a competing explanation that the argument favors. E. The first provides evidence to refute an explanation that the argument favors; the second is that explanation.
How to approach Bold Face Questions Read the argument 1. Read and Classify every statement 2. Understand how it relates to the preceding statement Completed Reading 1. Understand how the Bolded statements relate to the conclusion. 2. Prethink your answer (BF1 is X, and supports/refutes the conclusion) Evaluate answer choices Evaluate each element of every answer choice and see if its correct. (Note, it may differ from your prethinking)

Fact, Observation, Principle ??
Author is listing a general belief. Author listing an exception BF – a characteristic of that exception. Another fact that author brings to life ..
Author’s conclusion.. The second B.F is author’s explanation of why ELC don’t grow. It also refutes the accepted belief – BF1: A characteristic of companies that buck the trend, fact provided to support author’s conclusion – BF2: The reason for the observed trend. Also the alternate explanation that
Answer Choice Analysis The first is a claim, the accuracy of which is at issue in the argument; the second is a conclusion drawn on the basis of that claim
The first it a fact, its accuracy is not in doubt. The second is not a conclusion
The first is an objection that has been raised against a position defended in the argument; the second is that position..
The first is not an objection against the position defended
The first is evidence that has been used to support an explanation that the argument favors; the second is that explanation. The first is evidence that has been used to support an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is a competing explanation that the argument favors. The first provides evidence to refute an explanation that the argument favors; the second is that explanation.
This is the correct choice. First supports the explanation that argument favors. The second is that explanation. The first does not support the explanation that argument challenges. Second is correct First supports the explanation that the argument favors.
Bold Face – Core Skills 1. What is this statement? (Ability to classify the statement) 2. How does it relate to the conclusion/main point of the argument? 3. How does it relate to the other bold face statement 4. Evaluate the answer choices
Is this a fact, belief, observation, principle, conclusion, prediction, main point, etc.
Support or refute the main point.

RDS Technology GMATPREP problem Radio stations with radio data system (RDS) technology broadcast special program information that only radios with an RDS feature can receive. Between 1994 and 1996, the number of RDS radio stations in Verdland increased from 250 to 600. However, since the number of RDS-equipped radios in Verdland was about the same in 1996 as in 1994, the number of Verdlanders receiving the special program information probably did not increase significantly. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? A. Few if any of the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994 broadcast to people with RDS-equipped radios living in areas not previously reached by RDS stations. B. In 1996 most Verdlanders who lived within the listening area of an RDS station already had a radio equipped to receive RDS. C. Equipping a radio station with RDS technology does not decrease the station's listening area. D. In 1996 Verdlanders who did not own radios equipped to receive RDS could not receive any programming from the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994. E. The RDS radio stations in Verdland in 1996 did not all offer the same type of programming.
How to approach Assumption Questions Read the argument 1. Read and Classify every statement 2. Understand how it relates to the preceding statement Completed Reading 1. Prethink your answer (Logical gap, falsify the conclusion) Evaluate answer choices Evaluate every answer choice to see if it’s the correct
assumption. (Note, it may differ from your prethinking) 1. What does the choice talks about. 2. Does it satisfy the litmus test. (new info, support, Must be true)

Ensures that the increased # of radio stations did not improve coverage

Many have applied this process. “My first CAT score was 700, first test of GMATprep. I knew I had a solid quant background, so verbal would be the tougher cookie for me. This is why I devoted my entire time to verbal. I particularly found a very useful post (it's on the old forum - I can't find it right now) from this guy who scored 790. He suggested starting with your weaker points: practice your weakest section for a week or two, then start on your second weakest, but not without devoting some of your time to the previous section. For instance, say CR is your weakest part, then second comes RC. You practice CR exclusively for one or two weeks, then start with RC. But in the two weeks devoted to RC, you will also "squeeze in" some CR questions, just to keep your skills fresh. “ - Dana J (GMAT Score 770) excerpt from her GMAT Strategy I looked up my previous mock test scores and realized that I needed to improve the most on my SC, and then CR. RC needed some improvement but not as much as CR. I devoted the next 2 weeks to improve SC; read the MGMAT SC again for the first 5 days and then did the eGMAT SC course for the remaining. Gave MGMAT mock (#3) and score 36 on verbal (12/15 SC, 8/14 CR, 8/12 RC). Was happy with my progress. Devoted the next 5 days to complete the egmat SC course. - Aprajita (GMAT Score 760), excerpt from her GMAT strategy
