Please Explain 2-3, 1-2-2 which u mentioned ...
Don't get it...
is it new strategy?
Thanks mate.
It's used for SC. Basically, separate the problems into groups and then eliminate the whole group rather than 1 choice at a time. I'll try an example (which I'm not too good at, but you will get the idea)...
Mike, having gone to the store earlier, ...
A-Mike, having gone to the store earlier...
B-Mike, having gone to the store earlier...
C-Mike, who had earlier gone to the store...
D-Mike, having gone to the store earlier...
E-Mike, who earlier had gone to the store...
Let's say you decide that "having gone to the store..." is too awkward -- it could be, or could not be -- depends on the rest of the sentence. You will notice that this will allow you to eliminate A, B, and D. On GMAT problems, using process of elimination doesn't just eliminate 1 choice, but usually rather 2 or 3 at a time. Most problems are like the one above, 2-3 format, but some tough ones are 1-2-2 so that even if you eliminate the 1, you still have to go through the process again and eliminate again (and get down to 2 final choices).
If you find a flaw, basically you can apply it to eliminate more than 1 option usually.
