GMAT Club's Reading Comprehension (RC) Challenge 2022

Thank you! to everyone who participated in this event

Honestly speaking this was not the response I was expecting as this is far below par. Last time we have 12-14 genuine participants who remain with us till the end of the competition but this time the response from the members was less than 2x. I can understand that the covid crises, GMAT waiver from business school, and the current escalation of war could be the contributors to this below-par response. I hope and expect we will have a good number of participants in the future competition.

I have shortlisted the following people worthy of being mentioned here.

1. ElninoEffect
2. zhanbo
3. vijayram2496
4. ShivaniCh12

ElninoEffect is the most consistent participant.

zhanbo has submitted the most accurate answers and explanations.

vijayram2496 had joined us late but kept growing his/her momentum day by day.

ShivaniCh12 is an average performer but a better participant than any other with the exception of the above three mentions.

Below is the result with the overall standings of participants

I have updated the following today:

• Topic names of the questions are updated according to the forum rules
• All links are updated
• Source tags are updated
• Difficulty tags are updated.

Below is the summary of what you have got during the challenge days.



*Six passages with the GMAT Official source tag were taken from GMAT Plus Review 2002. In the book, it is claimed that the questions are official material from the GMAC, I researched and came to know that at least the majority of, if not all, are true of good quality questions which may indeed come from the official source. Conclusively the official tag is added based on my research and the probability that the questions are official. I do not claim them to be 100%, sure official.

6 official passages mentioned above were in JPG form, I used OCR software to get the JPGs into copyable text, then pasted the text in the Microsoft doc file to detect the spelling mistakes and other errors, then removed the visible errors. The jpg pic was not clear (report any typo, if you found) but keeping in view the quality of the questions I have made all these efforts to get the member the quality stuff.

3 Princeton Review passages were taken from a PR GMAT Software of 2006. First I made JPGs and then went through the above process to get them to you.

2 Kaplan passages were taken from a video of the Grockit GMAT Course (Grockit was acquired by Kaplan). Went through the same process to get them on the forum.

Now coming to the business, the following are the winners with prizes they have won.



I request all the participants to go back to their submitted responses, modify the explanations of the questions they got wrong or else delete them (Only wrong questions). It will keep future visitors from any confusion.

Winners can reach out to me for the test access within six months starting from today.

Let me know your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions.

Best Regards
