Hi @bb , @hr1212
Hope you guys are doing well.

I currently have around 7 VA sectionals available (pro version), and I’m planning to renew in the coming week after expiry. Just wanted to check — will the count reset after renewal, or will it will it start from 7?

Similarly, wanted to confirm for QA (18) and DI (10) as well.

Thanks.

Hi. Happy to help. You will renew access to what you currently have remaining.

You can think about it like Netflix, if you have watched three out of seven Star Wars movies if you renew next month will there be three new Star Wars movies? Probably not 😇

PS. At the same time if you forgot the first three Star Wars movies that you watched, you can rewatch them and the same way you can reset the question bank and three attempt questions you previously attempted. So you could reset the question bank and get 40 sectional tests and 12 full tests untouched but they will have a mix of questions you have not seen and questions you have already attempted

Some people on reddit have been saying that questions on GMAT have become difficult than usual. Is this true? Did anyone who gave their test recently experience this?

That is unusual indeed. I’ll test it out. You may want to try taking the testing in cognitive window (after logging in of course) that should eliminate issues with extensions as well as cookie problems on the computer.

Hi @bb @hr1212 : Any thoughts on this?

This sort of thing goes around at least once a year.

And part of the reason is that it may be partially true but just because someone or a few people had a harder test than what they expected or what they had last time is the result of the question bank that they were served and not so much the test becoming harder.

In part, the GMAT prep exams are not really stacked with full hard questions. There are absolutely a good number in the free bank but the majority of the questions in the gmat prep question bank are not that hard

So what happens is that once you get access to a larger question bank on the exam, people hit more harder questions than they start saying it doesn’t meet their expectations.... They also say this about Gmat Club tests 😂

Two things, the test is unpredictable and so you never know how it will go. Some people say that it was fairly easy but then they also get a low score with only one or two incorrect

Second, some people say the test was super hard and they saw some of the hardest questions and that could be accurate as well

This is a combination of test being unpredictable and also different question bank being loaded that particular part of the month.

However, the test is fair and the questions are based on the difficulty level that’s determined by other people so whatever you get even if you get a lot of hard questions, that will properly reward you with a good score

I would also say that it is challenging and expensive to write hard questions and only a fraction of them actually is approved after testing and a lot of times these hard questions maybe just experimental questions in the exam that are being tested, you don’t know.... But it would be unnecessary for the test to add more questions or make it hard because it would be investing extra effort into something that doesn’t really need to be fixed because it’s not broken

Final comment is that obviously I don’t know if GMAC just woke up one morning and decided that they’re gonna just kill us all with hard questions but logically that part would not make sense. It seems like it would be a lot of effort without a clear benefit.

And I wouldn’t say that the people who are complaining about heart tests are wrong either, they could have genuinely gotten harder question set in their run but harder questions are not bad. Yes you have to work harder but that gives you more opportunities to get a higher score

There are 3 major areas:-

(1) When D is constant
(2) When T is constant
(3) Relative Speed

That's more than enough in case you find difficulty.

Thank you BB for such a detailed insightful response regarding the algo and score range... but I have one out of curiosity question on top of this...
BB, As we are tweaking and doing hit and trial with our algo. then we should have any rough ball park estimate as target to achieve right ? I mean to say anything like if someone have 2 wrong question in Quant he would get a score of 84 to 86 or something of that sort in each section....
If this is correct then could you please give that detail what would be the pessimistic range of score on the basis of wrong answer in each section if that is possible...

PS - Yesterday, I have asked this question in our ofc hours call but unfortunately we are unable to conclude on this anything... we all feel GMAT algo is weird and its unpredictable to get this kind of range if you have any insights on this it would be highly valuable specially for DI section 😅
Thanks !

@bb So from your above insights we can conclude its to hard to get any range of score on the basis of wrong questions as exam is unpredictable ? We should focus more on answering it correctly even though its hard question instead of skipping and guessing it 😅 because if we have any rough range we could skip/randomly answer them and move on

Only if the electorate is moral and intelligent will a democracy function well.

(A) If the electorate is moral and intelligent, then a democracy will function well.

(B) Either a democracy does not function well or else the electorate is not moral or not intelligent.

(C) If the electorate is not moral or not intelligent, then a democracy will not function well.

(E) It cannot, at the same time, be true that the electorate is moral and intelligent and that a democracy will not function well.

Why D is wrong

If X is necessary for Y then it doesn’t mean that Y won’t happen because X didn’t happen..there can also be Z which is also necessary to happen for Y

so X and Z have to happen together for Y..we can reject (D) using this reasoning
