Score Plateau is when, at a certain point in your preparation, your score hits a wall. It does not improve
despite countless hours of preparation.
CR Bold Face Question….
Collision Avoidance Technology (CAT) is the latest technology to improve the safety of drivers on the road. To
determine the effectiveness of this technology, a study was recently conducted by the Highway Data Loss Institute
(HDLI) in various models equipped with the technology. According to the HDLI, the technology seems to work
well in Volvo cars. The researchers found that individuals driving the Volvo XC60—a specific model equipped
with CAT—reported 27 percent fewer auto insurance claims than those driving other comparable vehicles.
However, with the exception of Volvo cars, the research so far does not conclusively establish the role of CAT in
preventing catastrophic auto accidents, mainly because individuals who do have access to these systems
possibly do not use it responsibly.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first provides a fact whose validity is questioned by the author; the second provides a reason to support the
position taken by the argument.
B. The first provides a conclusion that is not disputed by the argument; the second provides a consideration that
supports the main conclusion of the argument.
C. The first states a conclusion whose validity is questioned in the argument; the second provides a consideration to
question the validity of that conclusion.
D. The first is a fact that supports the conclusion refuted by the argument; the second is a reason for the position that the
argument as a whole seeks to establish.
E. The first is a conclusion that the author agrees with; the second is a reason that goes against that conclusion.

Updates from AIGAC conference (June 2016)
1. Most schools are fine with up to 3 attempts. In fact, they perceive it as a positive
character trait if you improve considerably (since you demonstrate a willingness to
study)
◦ Notify improved GMAT Score even after applying to school
◦ Waitlisted candidates – improved GMAT score can be a plus

2. Quant focused schools do worry about low Quant Scores on GMAT.


3. Some schools mentioned that in for competitive applicant pools (read Indian IT
male), high GMAT score used as a filter.
4. Schools confirmed that GMAT Score has a huge bearing on Scholarships

Takt Time => Very Important (Timing) Metric

Takt time, derived from the German
word Taktzeit, which translates For GMAT, it sets the pace
to cycle time, sets the pace for

of answering questions.

Time
Case 1: V37 to V40 by leveraging Takt Time
...There was a video from eGMAT that introduced me to the idea of Takt time. Takt time is the
optimum time an individual needs to mark a question of a certain type …
There is a school of thought that suggests that you must answer SC questions by 1 minute. In
my case, the strategy did not work. After I got introduced to the concept of takt time, I observed
that 1:30 minutes is the average time I needed to mark an SC question correctly. I improved
only marginally on that timing later on through practice. In my actual test the average time I
took to answer SC questions should have been somewhere close to 1:20 minutes but not 1
minute. However, CR was my strength and I observed that on an average I needed 1:45
minutes there. I read almost all RC passages big or small between 2 to 3 minutes and took 1
minute to answer the questions that followed.
Typically, in the test, you will receive an average of 4 RC passages with a total of 13 questions,
14 CR questions and 14 SC questions. If you do the math, my timing strategy fits perfectly into
the total 75 minute span for Verbal. The bottom line is that there is no one size that fits all
when it comes to timing strategy. There is no point compromising on accuracy on questions
where you tend to be naturally slow. Improve timing where it can be improved and only to an
extent that is possible without giving up accuracy.
http://gmatclub.com/forum/750-q50-v41-how-i-bettered-my-mock-test-scores-158043.html

Understand your limitations and strengths through Takt time and use this information judiciously in the test.
