Your nervousness. Trust me, I wrote gre for the first time, and I got 296. Main reason was nervousness and then overhype which people give, saying it’s hard and stuff. Just focus on your pace, have a concrete mindset, cool composure, and you’ll do well.
My second attempt in GRE turned out 314.
Don’t ask me why I’m writing GMAT now 😅

Do timed practice. Then you’ll be able to measure your accuracy efficiently while you practice. This is happening with me too. And now I am timing while I practice, suddenly my accuracy dropped significantly with timed practice majorly because I don’t get so much time to think that I was getting previously. So my assumption is doing timed practice of thinking while reading will eventually increase my accuracy on practice and test simultaneously.

Q2. For over a century, drosophila melanogaster have been used to study genetics. Commonly known as fruit flies, drosophila lend themselves well to behavioral studies because they are small and easily handled, have short reproductive cycles, and are easily anesthetized with unsophisticated equipment. In the laboratory, fruit flies are confined in small glass containers to facilitate their anesthetization prior to examination for specific traits. It has been observed by several studies that the trait for short, less-powerful wings is dominate over that for large wings that enable longer flights. Thus, many geneticists theorize that shorter wings give drosophila an advantage in obtaining food sources in the wild. The theory in the argument above is based on which of the following assumptions? A. Fruit flies have no need to fly long distances in their search for food sources. B. The social behaviors exhibited by drosophila indicate that shorter wings give individual flies an advantage in mating. C. The common practice of confining drosophila to small containers does not affect the trait for wing size. D. Fruit flies that are anesthetized on a regular basis mate just as frequently as those that are not. E. The shorter reproductive cycles of drosophila are not influenced by the number of flies in a single container. Difficulty - Hard

CR Questions October - 2 :

Q1. In today’s world, not only leaders but managers also need to possess leadership abilities to be able to motivate their direct reports. A recent report evaluating professional progress made by average students discovered that students who excelled in sports while in school display leadership abilities and hence are five times as likely to become managers, consequently earning higher salaries. It is quite likely that excelling in sports while at school imparts these leadership abilities.

Which of the following if true, most strengthens the author’s belief above?

A. Students who already possessed leadership qualities from a very young age were no more likely to excel in sports in school when compared to ordinary students.

B. Students whose parents excelled in sports were no more likely to take up sports while in school than the average student.

C. Above average students who excelled in sports in school were also more likely to become managers when compared to a regular above average student.

D. Leadership skills that managers need to possess can only be acquired by practice and are otherwise difficult to teach in an academic classroom.

E. Most companies report that they prefer hiring students who have excelled in sports.

George Bernard Shaw wrote: That any sane nation, having observed that you could provide for the supply of bread by giving bakers a pecuniary interest in baking for you, should go on to give a surgeon a pecuniary interest in cutting off your leg is enough to make one despair of political humanity.

Shaw’s statement would best serve as an illustration in an argument criticizing which of the following?

(A) Dentists who perform unnecessary dental work in order to earn a profit

(B) Doctors who increase their profits by specializing only in diseases that affect a large percentage of the population

(C) Grocers who raise the price of food in order to increase their profit margins

Hi Pooja!

I have one question about choosing option D here - logically, we know sports = practice, making option D more attractive. But this logic is not explicitly stated in the prompt or statement D.

My question then, is do you look at the question as a closed space and consider only the context of the prompt + answer options? I know universal truths like honesty is the best policy, should apply. But does that hold true for obvious logical implications too?

In this case, I’d side with your initial answer and say C. But wanted to ask this question in general

Hi. Thank you for your ques and providing such a detailed explanation. You are absolutely right that it has not been expliciltly said in the passage that sports = practice. But as far as my understanding is concerned in strengthen ques we look for options that may add new information to the passage. So, IMO option D is doing this job perfectly. That’s why I chose option D. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi. Sorry for the delay in response. But, option D was a trap choice. So, all my logic failed. Anyways, in response to your query when we look for additional information or new information in strengthen ques we always look for option that is not explicitly stated in the stimulus. Something, that provides additional information and supports the conclusion. Hope that helps!
