Mayor: the commuters from the nearby suburb of Coldstream perennially complain of a difficult commute to our downtown region. To address these concerns, we should install high-speed toll collector on the interstate between here and Coldstream, thus relieving any traffic snarls caused by the hand-operated toll booths.

Civil engineer: Over 95% of commuters from Coldstream take local roads, not the interstate, to our downtown region.

The civil engineer uses which of the following techniques in responding to the mayor?

(A) pointing out that the premise could lead to an opposing conclusion
(B) questioning whether the methods recommended would work in practice
(C) citing evidence that calls into question the assumption of the argument
(D) suggesting, by analogy, that the argument might not support the conclusion
(E) presenting evidence that the proposed solution would have damaging unforeseen consequences

CR 2

A government agency released results showing that the average lead content in many wines sold in the U.S. exceeds the Federal government's standard for drinking water. According to the results, domestically produced wines tested in the bottle often had lead contents lower than the amount allowed for drinking water; however, when the wines were poured, both domestic and imported wines contained lead levels higher than the standard for drinking water. Italian wines were found to contain some of the highest lead levels.

Which of the following, if true, contributes most to an explanation of the increase in the lead levels of domestically produced wines?

A. Pipes soldered with lead are often used in the wine production process.
B. The grapes used to make wine are often exposed to the automobile exhaust produced by leaded gasoline.
C. Leaky corks may allow the wines to react with the lead foil caps commonly used to cover the corks.
D. Deposits from the lead foil caps commonly used to cover corks may accumulate on the lips of the bottles.
E. Domestic wineries often use contaminated ground water in the wine production process.

Hi fam.

I just gave my first Official GMAT mock after 4 months of self-prep and here is where my score stands.
I can see that I have to improve on a number of factors to get to my target 695+, while the most effort has to be given on Data Insights.
My final FE is in June last week which leaves me with 60 days of preparation. Can anyone suggest me what would be a goood course for 2 months that can substantially help me improve my DI score.

anirchat, how did u prepare by yourself till now ?

GMAT Club and GMAT Ninja Study Plan. But guess that’s all you can do by self-prep. I need somewhere around 695+ to stand a chance and another 100 point imorovement I am not sure if self-prep can help me do tht same. So need suggestions from people.

I’m preparing for the GMAT and aiming for a score of 655 or above. I’m torn between Manhattan Prep’s On-Demand Course and Manya - The Princeton Review’s Live Classes.

If anyone has prior experience with either of these options or can offer advice, I’d greatly appreciate it. Alternatively, if you’d like to connect with me directly, my email is [email protected].

Looking forward to hearing from you and getting some guidance on making an informed decision.

I have been using Manya for the past couple of months, please DM if you have any specific questions.

Anyone know how TTP is for RC and Data Insight?

TTP is very comprehensive in all sections. In depth and easy to follow. You can try for free as well.
