Has anyone else noticed that some of the MGMAT Test verbal questions have questionable answers/explanations? I felt that when I did OG and GMATPrep, there was always a clear, undebatable answer. But this has not been the case for me with MGMAT, at least thus far. There have been several instances when I felt the answer was debatable.

I fully agree.
I think MGMAT prep material is absolutely fantastic, i raised my quant from about 33 to 43 just by reading the math guides, but the verbal section of the CATs tend to have a couple funky questions.
I had a couple where I read the answer 4 or 5 times and got incredibly frustrated because the answer didn't make sense or my original answer still seemed right. I also had a question where I had to calculate a percentage to get the right answer, there must have been an easier way I know, but I have never seen anything comparable in the OG...?
I also score significantly lower on MGMAT Verbal. I think MGMAT CATS are overall a tad harder than other CATS, (thats what I hope at least!).

Hahahah I'm glad to know I'm not alone on this one. Have you taken the actual GMAT yet, or are you still prepping? What about GMATPrep? How did you do on those compared to how you did on MGMAT? I'm still scoring relatively well on MGMAT Verbal, but I think I could do a lot better.
Yeah, there were quite a few times where when I was setting out to answer the question, none of the choices seemed ideal and I felt I had to choose the answer that was least wrong. Then when the answer was explained (which was never what I had picked), they got off on some sort of technicality, if even that. There were definitely times when I was still unconvinced about the correctness of the answer and could imagine a situation where GMAC (or whoever it is that writes the test) would face a lawsuit if this appeared on the exam because the answer was not clearly right. Am I being too extreme? Haha wasting precious exam time fantasizing about lawsuits?
Perhaps the issue is that I need to be more careful when reading all the questions and answers? I thought I was good at grammar and reasoning because I was an English major and breezed through the verbal questions in OG11. But maybe I just hadn't encountered the really hard stuff. I was relying for the most part on intuition and experience, but maybe I need to pick up the MGMAT Verbal Guides to help me learn the actual rules and strategies. I just don't want to be bogged down by unnecessary information.
