FROM Economist GMAT Tutor Blog: GMAT tricks: when to read answer options backward


The GMAT test makers are constantly trying to slow down your progress through the test. I always think that if I’m taking the test the way they want me to, then I must be adopting a poor strategy. Instead, I should be taking the test the way I want to. The test makers are aware of the strategies most people use, and they adapt their questions accordingly. For example, the overwhelming majority of people read their answer options from A-E. The test makers know this. When is it advantageous to read the options in reverse order?

FROM Economist GMAT Tutor Blog: Three tips to improve your GMAT Critical Reasoning performance


A Critical Reasoning (CR) argument is usually structured into facts (also sometimes referred to as premises) and a conclusion. It is important that you are able to identify the parts of an argument. Isaac has given you tips on identifying the conclusion in his post “Identifying the conclusion in GMAT CR questions”. Your job is never to question the facts of the argument. You can question the gap between the facts and the conclusion. This gap can be called an assumption the writer makes in his/her argument. In other words, what did the writer have to believe to be true in order to reach the conclusion, as based on the premise(s)? There are many CR questions that require you to identify an assumption. It can get complex, but here are some tips to simplify matters.

FROM Economist GMAT Tutor Blog: MBA Application Essays: How to Avoid the Two Common Mistakes


On the surface, many applicants to elite MBA programs share similar backgrounds and traits. They are ambitious, driven, accomplished, and have strong academic records and impressive test scores. In short, they are leaders and achievers. But just because candidates share these characteristics doesn’t mean their MBA application essays have to beat the same drum.
