Hi guys,
I just need your help for mastering RCs..
I started with OG11 and I am getting most of the questions wrong in RC..
I have never prepared for CAT and so this is new to me..
What would be the best approach for attempting RCs?
You can get 1000 RC on gmatclub.com U just hav to register first. i think Og is better as i couldnt find explained solutions for the 1000 series...
ya I also think that OG 11 is closest.. keep on trying, its the only key!
hello guys and glas
i am new to the gmat forum so need some help form the aspirants
after two failed attempts to make it to the iims its time i get my bags moving to isb if not more.
can u suggest me from where can i get sufficent amount of material to solve from. i have registered with sites like 8000score.com,etc, however they offer only one sample gmat which is not sufficeient. where are you practising your rc`s and quant from
Guys I m going to south delhi for getting GMAT study materials.Pls tell me the correct source n correct material to get in South delhi.I plan to write GMat in dec 08.I m new to the GMAT field. plz care to guide properly.
regards
hey guys are RC in Gmat as baad as they are in kaplan tests
I am trying to solve passages from OG 11, but some of the passages seem strange, in the way that the answers don't seem to be right (even thogh they are). How do you realy solve inference and other types of questions.
I mean I am always close to getting the right answer, by eliminating 3 out of 5, but the other 2 answers seem so close, and I invariably end up getting it wrong. Is there any tactic to approach this?
hi Guys,
Can anyone check this out? I got all my answeres wrong. It would be good if someone give this 15 min test and let me know his/her opinion on the tests, whether the answeres are right or not?
Here is the link Reading Comprehension - Passage 46
Thanks

Kaplan 800:
This is for those who have a Kaplan 800 book with them. There is this RC passage on Page 104. Can you give me the answer for Q1 on that page - it starts with "A freshwater lake's summertime ecology....." . I somehow disagree with the answer that Kaplan has given for that question. I feel the answer should be A.
Same is the case with Page 111 Q1 for the passage that begins "Some one and a half or two billion years ago....". I believe the answer is C while Kaplan's answer is D.
Can someone help me out here by explaining Kaplan's answers and why mine are wrong?
Regards,
Vikram.

Kaplan Quant was good, but I wouldnt term it tough! 😃 I have spent the last 5 days on this book and I have SC left. I found RC challenging (didnt get all correct on even a single passage, however, I do have my cribs about the answers :D). On the whole the book is good and its a good investment of time... 😃
here we goo...

i do think its E.
to support the answer..
we do not know that the temperature affects the solubility!
temp gradient/ thermocline only prevents the O2 frm getting into the deeper and colder layers... maybe if at all it gets through, it might have enuf O2
secondly, (i know there's no firstly
) the deeper colder water has less O2 because all the O2 has been consumed by the dinosaurs, plankton what not...Lastly, it has been clearly specified in the passage in lines 5-10 that the wave action increases the O2 levels in the water... Hence E - QED (hopefully)
reminds me of analysis of an argmnt.. heheee

onto the next zoological problem :)
I do believe the answer is D
C is an assumption not based on the passage. and it is very clearly mentioned in the passage in lines 5-10 that the abundance of atmospheric O2 brought abt the symbiosis.
so D...
watsup with u and oxygen anyway? :PPP

My issue with E is that it says the "wave action at the surface increases dissolved oxygen". The wave action doest increase anything by the correct definition of the word increase. The wave action merely "distributes" the already dissolved oxygen - it doesnt "create and increase" the oxygen level. Hence the option E takes the argument too far.
My support for choice A comes from lines 27-34 ( "The temperature barrier prevents oxygen from circulating downward...... causing the fish to come up). Hence, it can be inferred from this statement that the cold water holds lesser oxygen forcing the fish to come up to the warmer water. (I understand the argument that you made against option A, however considering the two choices A and E, I somehow feel E pushes the envelope too much compared to A).

I disagree.. THe statement doesnt mention that the atmospheric O2 brought abt the symbiosis. It merely states that the atmospheric O2 was the "driving force" behind it. However, it doesnt say that this is the ONLY way in which these two could have merged, as is suggested in option D - for all u know, an abundance of sunlight could have also triggered the same and it would be going too far to say that it COULDNT have happened without proper atmospheric conditions.
My support for C comes from lines 3 to 7 where the passage says that primitive bacterium made a precarious living - meaning that it was frought with dangers and hence they merged so that they could be mutually useful - with the O2 in the atmosphere being just a driving force.
What say???? :D
... and my problem with O2 is that whenever I take a mock GMAT, i feel that all the O2 has disappeared and I start gasping for breath 😃

Hi All,
Need some help. I have taken two mocks and in both of them RC accuracy is pathetic - around 20%
. When I solved RC questions from Official Verbal guide, accuracy was around 70% (2 minutes per question). I think it is the time pressure that is getting better of me in the mocks. Any suggestions how to cope up with this and get a respectable verbal score. I am satisfied with SC and CR accuracy.
TIA,
Cheers!
Thats exactly my prob too with RC.
When i do the OG i get most of em right (like 5 in 6 or sometimes all right) but wenever i do a mock test, accuracy gets lower.
So much so that for me RC is a bigger headache than SC (most peple seem to be worried about SC and stress on it more than on RC).
Any suggestions to improve the RC score would be very helpful!
