Slingfox's GMAT Strategies (Condensed)

BUMP! I would like to know how to approach these kind of problems as well.

Hi,

Could someone expand on this a little?

Superficial Parallelism vs. Actual Parallelism
Sometimes you need to subordinate certain elements (e.g., it is not safe to assume that all verbs and verb forms need to be parallel).
You need to be especially careful with verbs and verb forms.
Example 1
Wrong: “Sal applied himself in this new job, arrived early every day, skipped lunches regularly, AND left late every night.”
Right: “Sal applied himself in this new job, arriving early every day, skipping lunches regularly, AND leaving late every night.”
Example 2
Wrong: “Wild pandas roam the forests and eat bamboo all day long.”
Right: “Wild pandas roam the forests eating bamboo all day long.”

Great notes, thanks for sharing! Gonna borrow your disclaimer at the top of the document when I post my notes if that's cool

Thanks for finding these! I remember when these were posted. They are dated but GOOG and still apply to today’s test.

Posted from my mobile device

Definitely, had no idea these were from 2010. Will be posting my own write up shortly - just need to get past the 5 posts rule so I can attach files and my notes

Eagerly waiting for your write ups.

Thanks in advance.

Should be up over the next week (maybe even next few days)!

thanks a ton for putting in the time and effort compiling these life saving notes

Wild pandas roam the forests eating bamboo all day long.


Shouldnt there be a comma before eating ???
