Before starting to write, at the analysis of an argument essay for GMAT, you must read the text carefully and identify the assumptions. Paragraphs (as in the post about analysis of an issue): Write the argument (copy/paste) and point the three weak points you identified. Write the first weak point and write one reason ore more reasons why it is not true. Write the second weak point and write one reason ore more reasons why it is not true. Write...

You will find online a lot of explanations about what is expected from you to do in this part of the GMAT test. In my opinion you only need to have in mind a structure organized in paragraphs: State the both sides of the argument (you can use copy/paste from the text) and say which side you take.

What I discovered using the 2005 edition of “Cracking the GMAT” (The Princeton Review) was that algebra problems can be solved without using algebra, but an easier method: plugging in. Basically you just replace with number the unknown data represented with letters. Sounds stupid, but it works and you gain time. Plugging in a number in the question: Pick one or more numbers to replace the letters in the problem (question) Using your...

The math problems at GMAT are basic from 3 areas: Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry. Basic arithmetic operations: addition (8+8) subtraction (8-4) multiplication (8×3) division (8/2) raising to a power finding a square root Fraction: x/y (part/whole) x = numerator, y = denominator. Decimals are in English indicated by a point. Ratio: The whole in ratio is sum of all parts. If ratio is a fraction the whole is the sum of the numerator and...
