Verbal Question of the Day Chat Group

I don’t understand how you people get time for such long and detailed interactions. Mostly, I have observed students who hit their target scores don’t find time for chit-chat. All I can say is that one must work in silence and let your success make noise.

Malar95, Just want to check whether Yashika Aggarwal responded to your query. Yesterday, you were concerned about some top Spanish B-schools.

That depends on your personality type and the environment you were raised in.
Those who dont chit-chat are probably introverts who prefers the lack of communication as compared to extroverts who needs conversations to keep them going.
I dont think its a good gauge. I did better in Uni when I had extra curricular activities (at the expense of my sleep) than when I went into nerd mode.
The Asian method of study study study can be impactful to your mental health.
Lets not forget to take into account other personal factors that may also impact another persons performance

Nope

Also, scoring well in any exam is just bragging rights. There are far more intelligent people who struggles to conform to exam standards.

I agree that interaction to some extent is important. But let me tell you one thing most Americans who are successful in their lives don’t waste their time in baseless interactions. So, my dear friend just take care of all these factors before you comment on anyone.

Malar95, I am signing off in a minute. I have got other engagements to take care of.

Critical Reasoning Butler: January 2024
January 4	CR 1	CR 2

going for option A for CR 2

CR Questions January - 4 :

Q1. A rise in the price of raw materials has recently caused hardship for glass manufacturers. A method of firing experienced workers and keeping those with the lowest salaries has been adopted by a number of companies, supposedly in order to contend with the economical difficulties. There is strong evidence that the raw materials will soon return to their former price, but before then, companies will have lowered the quality of their products, and therefore reduced their sales value, by employing inexperienced workers. It is unwise for glass manufacturers to filter the employment of workers by the lowest required salary.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?


A. The first is evidence that has been used to support the argument’s position; the second is that position.

B. The first is the result of an action opposed by the argument’s position; the second is evidence which further supports that position.

C. The first is the prediction of the outcome of an action that the argument’s conclusion opposes; the second is that conclusion.

D. The first describes a situation in order to challenge the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second is that position.

E. The first is a prediction that has been used as support for the argument’s position; the second is an objection to that position.

Q2. In a recent poll, 71% of respondents reported that they cast votes in the most recent national election. Voting records show, however, that only 60% of eligible voters actually voted in that election.

Which of the following pieces of evidence, if true, would provide the best explanation for the apparent discrepancy?


(A) The margin of error for the survey was plus or minus five three percentage points.

(B) Fifteen percent of the survey’s respondents were living overseas at the time of the election.

(C) Prior research has shown that that people who actually do vote are also more likely to respond to polls than those who do not vote.

(D) Many people who intend to vote are prevented from doing so by last-minute conflicts on election day or other complications.

(E) Some people confused the national election with other recent elections when responding to the poll.

I recently took the GMAT and scored 640 with a score of 48 on quant and 29 on verbal. On the enhanced score report, I see that I scored 46th percentile on CR, 49th on RC and 77th on SC. Clearly RC and CR were weak points. Can someone recommend a good course to improve CR and RC. I have heard a lot about egmat’s verbal course. Is it good for RC and CR. I am planning to spend two month’s time and write the GMAT Focus edition towards end of February or early March, 2024. I won’t be spending lot of time on quant section

Hey prashant if you receive any resources for RC and CR please do share it with me too Would be very helpful as my timeline is similar to yours

Hey Prashant, I am going for my second attempt in less than a week. I have used EGMAT for a complete year. I have finished up and down every concept file at least 2 times ( as my basics used to be little weak). I would say EGMAT is know more for it’s Sentence correction part rather than CR or RC ’s. Not to say CR or RC are not good. But I have seen people complaining about EGMAT’s pre thinking style. But for me it worked out very well. You are the better judge for yourself. Try the course, if you can digest it well, good luck
