Best of luck! Hoping ya get lucky tomorrow! :lol:

Do let us know how you fare... Answer to this is E? a) '...exceed all of its southeast Asia neighboors...' this looks like the fertility rates are exceeding the neighbours... incorrect. b) same problem c) present participle is not the best choice of tense here... d) 'exceed all those of ' is awkward... should have been 'exceed those of all' e) looks good to me...

E as explained by paddyboy.

A & B are out because they use "like". We need "such as" because Thailand and Indonesia are examples of densely populated countries.

C & D incorrect comparison.

E remains.

Good luck for tomorrow! 
All I can say is "Keep your cool during the test" and don't get rattled by any question.

Thanks guys for your answers and support.

I'll post later my experience but I can say now that I'm dismissed!!!!!!!!

I've got a poor 590(Q44,V26)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
26 in verbal is the lowest score I've ever had!!!#

I'll post the details in the next days. :shock:

BTW OA is E

GMATT73 · Answer

(E) uses the correct modifier.

Karlfurt, 590 is a start. Stay focus and consistent and you should be able to pull it up to a 650 in a few months.
