Verbal Question of the Day Chat Group

In OG 2024 PDF, the DI section includes only only DS questions, it excluded Graph, Mutri Resoning, two sets questions.
I think its high time to import and work on developing New Questions in DI inline with Practise tests and Pratice question bank of Official Gmat

Agreed, was supper disappointed to see the DI Review only had Data Sufficiency questions!

Hi I recently started my preps for GMAT Focus Edition, currently I am completing all the GMAT Ninja videos to give me a head start. I noted that the comprehension Q’s can be lengthy and we do not have the option of highlighting or annotating on the screen. It would also be time consuming to write down points on a paper. Whats your best tip for those preparing. Also, I’m more of a number person so while I enjoy reading, I can struggle with the details in word passages, any tips?

Posting this question in the group with hopes that others who may have struggled or who struggles with it can benefit from the tips.

How can the ‘city’ open the process?

The pronoun ‘it’ has no proper antecedent. So, A,B and E are out. Between C and D, parallelism is maintained in D. Although D does not sound right, it seems like the answer.

RC is not about memorizing every detail in the reading passages. Engaged reading is crucial. Focus on the passage's structure, the different perspectives presented, the main idea, and the author's tone. This way, you'll understand the passage's essence and can quickly go back to find specific details when answering the questions.
If you come across a key point or a term that you definitely want to remember and reference later, jot down the key word or phrase, along with the paragraph number, for easy reference.

Thanks for responding. I was thinking of ways to strategize as I watch GMAT Ninja videos. Half way through their RC videos. Would it help if I read the Question first then the passage to help me understand better where to focus?

Actually, I wouldn’t recommend reading the question before the passage. I totally get the urge to find strategies that might give you an edge on the GMAT RC sections. However, from my experience, the best approach is pretty straightforward: just read the passage through once and then tackle the questions, referring back to the passage if you need to for those detail-heavy questions.

Try to avoid skimming, paying disproportionate attention to the beginning and end of paragraphs, or speed reading. Instead, dive into the passage with genuine interest. Focus on understanding the structure, tone, main idea, different perspectives presented, and the author’s purpose. This way, you’ll be well-prepared to answer the questions that follow. Remember to read with curiosity—it can make a big difference!

I love this tips. Thank you very much. I just wish they allowed us to highlight. Makes a significant difference.

Thank you for the advice, these tips are extremely helpful!
