For everyone who couldn't make it, key points of the discussion were

Chat Date : 30th Jan 2016 (8 am PST/9:30 PM IST)
Section : Verbal
Topic : Sentence Correction 
Sub Topic : Parallelism

1. Should implies moral obligation, and usually options which have should are almost never right.
2. One common thing that the GMAT does is make BLIND parallelisms.
3. In GMAT a list with more than one item MUST be connected with AND. ex : If the list has 2 items - it will be X and Y( X and Y need to be parallel) , 
 for 3 items it needs to be X,Y and Z.
 2 sentences can be connected with an AND or BUT or For but not 3 sentences.ex : I love Paris and i love New york but i hate Berlin is not correct.
 It could be I love Paris and I love NewYork ;i hate Berlin.
4. The only rule you need to know about ; is that it needs to have TWO COMPLETE SENTENCES on either side
5. Note that when we connect two things by AND, it means that they are independent of each other. However, when we use COMMA, ING we mean 
 that the second part is a consequence of the first part
 Example : The traffic was out of control and i got late to work. Though this is a grammatically correct sentence, the meaning isn’t logical.
 Correct sentence: The traffic was out of control, gettING me late to work.

Chat Session : 31st Jan 2016 
Section : Quant
Topic : Evens’s Odd’s / Prime numbers and Factor theory

Key Points : 
1.The most important thing to check in any even odd question is to double check if they are integers or not.
2.A key rule in solving any even/odd question is that unless the right hand side is zero => DO NOT FACTORIZE

Chat Session : 2nd Feb 2016 
Section : Quant

Takeaway's :

When an area is given a circle will have the minimum perimeter
General tip shared by  souvik101990  is 
1. In quant you MUST always embrace alternative approaches. Mainly because the one trick that you have learned may not work on test day.
2. GMAT won’t probably EVER expect you to do math that rigorous (in my opinion). It is JUST not a math test. => Look for an easier approach.

Note : On Feb 1st session we continued our discussion parallelism, with the key points same as the previous session ( 31st Jan )

Hi guys. I have a planned dinner today, so I won't be available for the chat. Also, note that Narenn has scheduled a Johnson chat and a consultant chat today and tomorrow at the same time. So if you guys want to study, maybe move the discussion to the other chat link.

Here is the alternative chat: https://gmatclub.com/forum/mchat2.php

Hope you guys have a fun chat today.

Chat Session : 7th Feb 2016
Section : Verbal
Topic : CR
Sub Topic : Assumption questions

Takeaway's :

1. In CR you guys should write these two things Main Point and Missing Info down FOR SURE. The 5-10 secs that you will spend writing will help you a LOT in. Also the notes have to be VERY short and really precise(like the notes should be easily understandable by a kid.)

2. Conclusion = main point = KEY to solving questions.
