Coaching Institute does help but do not believe all things written in these discussion forums. Usually avoid any total positive or negative posts. These are marketing persons. If it’s totally positive then its marketing guys and if it’s totally negative then it the competitors.
Here are five strategies that will help you on test day,
Problem Solving
Always look at the answer choices before you start to solve a problem. Use the answer choices to your advantage! Even if they’re not written as such, the answer choices themselves are clues that can help steer you toward the correct answer. At a minimum, the answer choices can tell you what type of answer the question is looking for, which can save you valuable time.
Data Sufficiency
Spot the con. The GMAT often obscures information or hides information in the question stem or individual statements to trick you. If you can spot the trick, then you’re already at least halfway to solving the problem. Even if you arrive at the answer choice right away—really, especially if you get the answer right away—go back over the question and the answer choices, and look for the trick.
Your playbook is pretty clear in this case. If you think the answer is A or B, then double check to see if the other statement can be sufficient as well, in which case the correct answer is D. If one statement is clearly insufficient alone and you think the answer is A or B, then check to make sure you don’t need the clearly insufficient statement to be true, thereby making the answer C. If you think the answer is E, then check to see if you missed something that actually allows you to solve the problem with C, and so on.
Reading Comprehension
Use the “STOP” reading methodology. Spend more time upfront to get to know the passage’s Structure, Tone, Organization and main Point. This is where “time spent per question” statistics can be misleading, since you should spend much more time on a passage’s first RC question than on the rest.
Instead of spending two minutes on each of four RC questions for a total of eight minutes or so per passage, you should instead spend four minutes first carefully looking for the STOP elements in the passage and answering the first question, and then about 30 seconds to one minute on each of the subsequent questions. You will find that this is time much better spent overall.
Critical Reasoning
Focus on the specifics of the argument and ignore any answer choices that don’t directly address the linear logic of the argument. On CR questions, a lot of tempting wrong answers are true statements, but they don’t directly address the specific path of logic that the argument uses. Often times, an answer choice that more appropriately fits the argument’s reasoning will turn out to be the correct one, even if it might seem slightly off-topic at first glance.
Sentence Correction
Approach every sentences with the goal of creating logical meaning instead of “relying on your ear” or hunting for idioms. With SC questions on the GMAT, you really need to train yourself to become pretty robotic and only focus on things such as verb tense, pronoun agreement, modifier agreement, subject-verb agreement, and agreement between equivalent elements. Sometimes, the sentence that you don’t like the best (based purely on how it sounds to you) will be the correct one, and you need to get used to this!
Once you get used to this, you will find that the hardest Sentence Correction problem don’t contain more obscure rules, but instead contain a “bunch of junk” to try to hide where the real subjects and antecedents were. But, once you have the methodology down, these questions are barely any harder than the most basic Sentence Correction question!
