Hi,

I am currently studying GMAT by myself. I am ESL student so that the hardest part for me is the Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning. I have questions as follows:

1. For the Critical Reasoning, there are 3 main areas: Argument construction, Argument evalution, Formulating and evaluating a plan of action. Do I need recognize the question belongs to which of those groups? Then use different strategies? If yes, what is the strategies?

2. For the Reading Comprehension part, I often make mistake in the Inference question. Can you suggest a specific strategy to answer this kind of question? WHether i need to read carefully the whole passage or skim and find a specific detail?

Thanks

Need advice on Verbal section especially SC. Progressing very slowly.
I often forget SC rules and tricks.
eg. gerund vs infinite vs particle.

I score well on CR/RC if i m regularly practicing them. If I solve them after gap of 1 week, my accuracy reduces badly.

i am looking for ways to improve my verbal score...any comments/advices? thanks!

Eli, what are your thoughts on taking mock tests:

- How many tests one should reasonably take?
- How often to take tests during say a 1 month preparation?
- How to get the most information out of them?

Thank you.

Good news! It looks like, in addition to the GMAT itself, Admissions Consulting questions will be on the table, thanks to Tani Wolff, an expert Kaplan consultant!

Thanks for the intro Eli. I look forward to participating.

The chat is taking place right now!!!

Thanks to everyone who visited!

I'm looking in to getting transcripts available for those of you who couldn't make it; hopefully next time we'll be able to find a time that will work for you west-coast GMATers as well. In the mean time, keep up the hard work, and PM me or any other Kaplan representative with any questions!

Unfortunately I have missed it. Chat transcripts will be great.

A transcript of the chat is now available for download. Please see the first post. thank you to everyone

Question: You are given a series 3+32+33+34+……+3k. What is the value of k so that the summation of the series will be divisible by 6?

Hi Nimeshshreshta,

Thanks for posting this question! Unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong thread--this one is over two years old! You're probably best off posting a new thread in the math section. When you do, make sure you double-check your transcription. I'm fairly sure the first term in this list should be 31, not 3. And in order for 3k to mean the correct thing, the question needs to explain what k is; it's meant to be a missing digit, not a real variable, correct?

Regards,
