I have been practicing the SC questions mostly from OG. In addition, i have found that SC questions from Vertias blog are of same quality as OG questions. I have consolidated the SC questions from 2013,2014 and 2015 blogs into a single doc, which can be downloaded from https://gmatclub.com/forum/vertias-blog-sc-questions-216447.html

Please press kudos if you like :-)

Really good work. This will help for sure. Kudos pressed

If you think CR questions from their blogs are equally good, Please consolidate them. Rest assured of Kudos

I have a problem with third link.
the placebo thing.
B is the answer not C as magoosh said.

Assumption is not a must. if it's MUST then it's no assumption but conclusion.

u wrote of C.
the patients
believed that they took antidepressants instead of
sugar pills and their belief and confidence in
antidepressants seemingly helped them to recover.
Although we can say that sugar pills helped them
we cannot guarantee the same since the similar
result cannot be expected when public/participants
know that substance undertaken by them is sugar
not antidepressant.

Where did the argument say that the public will be told it's a placebo?

Kudos for starting this thread! Count me in.

I've been preparing for the last couple of months and made some progress so far. However, I believe there's more to be done.

My mock test scores
GMATPrep Test 1 (June 2016) - 570 (Q 49, V 19)
GMATPrep Test 2 (August 2016) - 670 (Q 49, V 32)

I'd like to share some article links. These articles help you create the right "mindset". GMAT is more than just quant and verbal skills. It is truly an "aptitude" test. Otherwise, it would be called "General Management Quant and Verbal Skills Test" :lol:

Below mentioned are the links.

A Holistic Guide To GMAT Scoring (Part 1)
A Holistic Guide To GMAT Scoring (Part 2)
Paranoia Runs Deep, Into Your Heart It Will Creep

Give these articles a read and share your experiences. Hope they'll help you. Will share more articles as and when I come across them.

P.S. Help me unlock the gmatclub tests. Will appreciate your kudos

Veritasprep was the most over rated course i bought for over $1000! It is not worth your time and money. I regret i wasted so much time on it initially.
