what about "they may help to highlight weaknesses and strenghts in a candidates's aptitudes." We cannot conclude for sure that they will determine the weaknesses of candidates
Probably 4 is better because all these methods are additional methods to evaluate a candidate.

well.. i chose 4...but was wrong..
i was surprised to see the OA ..its 5..
here's explanation:
Not all employers are convinced of the validdity fo p.test.otherwise all would use these tests and this is not necessarily true. so stat. c is not evident from the text.
P test shows both weakness and strenght of the candidates thereby invalidating stat D.
it remains therefore that only stat E canb e derived fromthe test.
It may be true that candidate will perform well in a p.test and then fail in personal interview .his perosonality might clash with that of potentional employer,so his or her chance of successis not, infact governed by any single factor but trather by random selection of several factors.

I had a lot of issues with BARRON specially the CRs. I just dont get some of their logic. But from what I have heard thru this forum, Barron might be misleading for GMAT prep. Specially CRs!
