Donate & Join GMAT Club for 24-Hour GMAT Marathon to Help Ukraine!

Why to pinpoint the main idea is the bedrock, hallmark, backbone of any strategy to tackle an Rc passage.

Why is so important to permit you to create a TOC that later will permit you to pinpoint the details to address the inference questions.

NO main idea = high probability to understand almost nothing

I really can't even imagine how you feel, bb.
These are such sad times for humanity. I've been in Ukraine last September and got enchanted with such a beautiful country, full of warm people!
It's the world's duty to help defending not only democracy, but mainly everyone who's suffering from this unbased act of war - and ours to collaborate however we can.
After all, like Voltaire said, "Every man [and woman] is guilty of all the good he [and she] did not do.".

Besides the donation, I messaged you a very simple graph bar just in case you think it's helpful to keep track of the progress.

Yes, TheNightKing, I remember. We crossed paths several times. I remember when you changed your avatar from Morpheus to better mimic the new logo of your GMAT™ idol. I remember when you made a comment about possibly meeting up with Charles, since Kansas was not so far from Colorado.

You may not be pursuing an MBA, but you are probably pursuing something else. (It is hard for us to stay still.) Good to see you again. Thank you for your contribution.

TheNightKing, it's absolutely an honor to see you here again! And of course I remember you. Thank you so much for contributing, and for being a lovely member of the GMAT Club community in general.

carcass, always an honor to see you here as well! I agree with you 100% about RC. My tentative plan is to tackle RC passages in the very first hour of the ultramarathon, with an emphasis on reading for purpose and main ideas. It might be the only hour of RC, though -- we'll see how that evolves as we get feedback. But I feel pretty strongly about leading with it, since it's such a backbone of the GMAT.

AndrewN, I love that you're a fellow Ukrainian-American, and thank you for donating! Please join us on the livestream if you can, and laugh at all of the mistakes I start making.

Thank you. This is super helpful. I’ve tried to find a bar and after spending half an hour yesterday gave up.

Thank you for your help 👍👍👍 🇺🇦✌️

Thank you for your support!

Great to see you back! Thanks for coming back!

It is an honor, Charles, to share such a bond. I thought I was the only one, through the years, who felt a certain sense of pride at the genius of Vasyl Ivanchuk on the chessboard (when he was not howling at the moon or blundering from nerves); who celebrated the triumph of another Vasyl, Virastyuk, when a Ukrainian won the World's Strongest Man competition in 2004; and who watched with keen interest the rise of the Klitschko brothers around the same time in their journey to the top of the boxing world. On a more personal level, when I ran the 2021 New York Marathon, I noticed Ukrainian supporters waving the blue and yellow flag with such vigor at some point in my last few miles that my spirit was buoyed, and I ran faster splits at every mile. (It is said that after you run the first 10 miles with your legs and the next 10 miles with your mind, you run the last 10K with your heart.)

I will make it a point to catch the livestream once I know more about it. Had you not so generously volunteered twenty-four of your own hours, I would have offered to pitch in personally as part of a relay event—I may not be a ninja, but I have pretty good endurance, and I am decent at plying my trade. For this event, though, I think no one would think any less of you for taking breaks from time to time and allowing another member of your crew to step in. The GMAT Ninja philosophy would remain front and center, and I think many would enjoy making the acquaintance of others who work directly with the sensei. (You are not a would-be doctor, after all, and you have a family, with young children, to consider.) That said, you would be doing a mitzvah by putting yourself through such discomfort for others. I would only be laughing with you, all the way.

This makes my day-- what a great idea. Perhaps it is just a case of the Fridays for me but can you share again the specific link to donate?

Not sure if this was a question to me, or Andrew, or Charles, but I will post the GMAT Club Suggested Charities and links. Feel free to donate directly to any of these OR to the GMAT Club fund which we will use to donate to all of these charities on March 14th, 2022. If you donate directly (please do esp in case your company offers matching), please forward to us the receipt so we can count it in the impact number to payments@gmatclub.com. Thank you!

Can you please cover modifiers in-depth? Both my friend and I are weak at that. Plus it's not in your YouTube series. So it'll be a great addition.

You are not alone in this journey.
I too have been inactive(in GMAT/MBA journey) for reasons possibly similar to yours, although I have made it a habit to come here everyday and solve one question so that my mind does not get rusty.
Reading this post by bb I was moved and felt heavy. This platform has given so much to me and has influenced my life in more ways than i could have imagined, and i would always remain indebted to GMATCLUB. Thank you GmatNinja, AndrewN, Nikhil and gmatclub team for the efforts you have put in.

I have done a small part and request others to do so.

bb and GMATNinja

I can't even imagine how you guys and your families are feeling right now. Reading a real story from the inside like this really made me think.

Well, I wish I could do more, but I've done the bare minimum and already donated. I'll share your story and hopefully, I can get more donations.

bb and @gmaninja congrats on this initiative, you guys really make a huge difference in this world.

All the best,

Daniel,

Brazil.

Thank you so much, Daniel! Seriously, please drop by the livestream if you can next Friday & Saturday to say hello, even if you can't watch for long. I'll be drinking Red Bull and espresso by the bucket, but once that stops working, my only hope for staying energized is to see some familiar names and faces.

Enjoy the weekend, and thank you so much for supporting!

For sure I will be there learning from the best as long as I can. I'll already prepare my coffee stockpile to join you.

Have a nice weekend u too! Thank you!
