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.

Which one of the following can be logically inferred from the claim above?


(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.

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

(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

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
This is great — thank you so much. Loved the analogies 😄

Guys I am confused a bit shouldn’t be E I went through gmat club someone said it’s E
Only if x, then y.

This tells you, from x conditional:

1) If x does happen, y may or may not happen. 2) If x does not happen, y does not happen.

Same two, from y conditional:

3) If y does happen, then x happens.

4) If y does not happen, then x may or may not happen.

I think it also matters when you get the MSR. If it happens to be in the first 10-12 questions, then definitely no! in line with what WA@akr6194 has mentioned above...best is to get max right till the 15th Q. If you are feeling great about your performance with first 14, then you may take a chance if MSR is 15th Q..
