about question types in verbal‚SC‚CR and RC. When I finished explaining RC ‚ she said:’’So it is just understanding what you read’’ . She will never be a gmat guru but she was right. At the end of the day‚GMAT RC‚despite its question types‚word games‚close answer choices‚is about understanding what one reads! So in theory if you are clever enough to understand all you read you should get all RC questions correct!!! Yet‚ my humble opinion is that most testtakers‚ the ones who get 20-35 and who think

Close analysis on We Real Cool This poem is about young school dropouts who make the wrong choices while they are young – ‘Left school’ (line 4)‚ ‘Lurk late’ (line 5)‚ ‘Strike straight’ (line 6) ‘Die soon’ (line 10). The setting could well be in the current‚ because there are still many school dropouts right now and they could possibly make the same choices as the dropouts in the poem. The larger issue is about the coolness of the school dropouts; they die soon‚ so are they really that cool as they

While the parents are socializing‚ we high school students talked about our lives. Soon I realized that I was looking at something that makes me curious: the ways children with multiple identities identify themselves. The friends I was talking to have significant differences in identifying themselves

“A psychic reading is not just about career opportunities‚ good fortune or meeting tall‚ dark strangers. It is a sacred portal to manifesting your true destiny.” (Marten) Do psychics know the future of their clients? Perhaps they are just telling lies to please you enough.

Some of the earliest reading memories I have come from reading flashcards with basic words on them‚ reading closed captions on cartoons (something I still utilize to this day‚) and being read to by my mother and preschool teachers. A memory I remember in vivid detail (which is one of my earliest memories) is sitting in the lap of one of the preschool assistants (Jan) as she was reading to me. I do not remember what book it was‚ however‚ I do remember I was wearing a sweatshirt and my pink snowboots
