Unauthorized copying prohibited

What is your target GMAT score?


Why should you aim for a score of 730 or higher?

Poll Question

Why is a score of 700 not enough?


Three Reasons

Top B Schools

“now” require (more

or less) a score of

730.

More than 50% of

the $350M

Scholarships go to

students scoring

730+.

The difference in

total earnings over a

10-year period is

$500K+ (the highest

it has ever been)

30 points == $500,000


What should be your target SC ability?

Poll Question

If you want to score 730+


You must target 90

percentile SC ability.Take away

To score 730+


Let’s solve some questions and

assess our skill set.

Q1

Solve this SC question, using the

method that you typically use.

Time = 90 seconds


The overall slackening of growth in productivity is influenced less by government regulation, although

that is significant for specific industries like mining, than the coming to an end of a period of rapid

growth in agricultural productivity.

A. the coming to an end of

B. the ending of

C. by the coming to an end of

D. by ending

E. by the end of


What thought process did you use to solve

this question?


Q1 – One possible thought process

The overall slackening of growth

in productivity is influenced less

by government regulation,

although that is significant for

specific industries like mining,

than the coming to an end of a

period of rapid growth in

agricultural productivity.


B. the ending of


D. by ending

E. by the end of 4. Decide which of D, E is correct?

E is better – “the end of” parallel to “the government regulations” – both nouns.

So, reject D and select E as correct.

3. Decide which of C, D, E is correct?

C – looks weird – the coming to an end. So, reject C.

2. Decide which ‘split’ is correct?

Sentence has “less ‘by’ government regulation”

So, ‘by’ split is correct.

AB - rejected

1. Scan choices to find similarities/patterns

CDE – ‘by’ AB – ‘no by’

Result


You cannot solve ‘difficult’

questions by using ‘splits/pattern-

recognition’ method.

Take away

And to achieve that 90th percentile in SC, you need to be

able to consistently answer difficult questions correctly.

Now let’s solve this question using

e-GMAT’s meaning-based method.


Q1 – Step 1 – Read ‘slowly’ by strategically pausing to understand the meaning of the sentence

The overall slackening of growth in productivity is influenced less by government

regulation, although that is significant for specific industries like mining, than the coming

to an end of a period of rapid growth in agricultural productivity.

• The overall slackening of growth in productivity is influenced

• less by government regulation,

• although that is significant for specific

industries like mining,

• than the coming to an end of

• a period of rapid growth in agricultural

productivity.

Aspect 1 - Sentence explains the factors behind reduction in growth in productivity.

Aspect 2 – the said reduction happens by two things:1. Government regulation2. The fact that a period of rapid

growth in agri. productivity comes to an end

Aspect 3 – Comparison stated:#2 has more impact than #1.


What aspects of meaning were you

not able to understand when you

read the sentence on your own?

The overall slackening of growth in productivity is influenced less by government regulation, although that is significant for specific industries like mining, than the coming to an end of a period of rapid growth in agricultural productivity.

Aspect 1 - Feature of DM presented – active reference instead of stuck to background.

Aspect 2 – DM invokes a sense of VSM

Aspect 3 – Film makers who create historical dramas used DM often.


This sentence begins with ‘because’.

Do you have a clear understanding of what

the cause is and what the effect is?



Aspect 1 - Feature of DM presented –active reference instead of stuck to background.



Because presents causality --> Infer the causal relationship

Does it make sense to say that Because aspect 1, aspect 3?

Does it make sense to say that Because aspect 2, aspect 3?

Cause Effect

Makes sense: aspect 3 is the effect.

Q2 – Step 1- infer the meaning

dotted with hundreds of monasteries.

Aspect 1 – mountainous regions of Northern Ethiopia discussed.

Aspect 2 - these regions were chiseled from solid rock centuries ago.

Aspect 3 – these regions are marked with hundreds of monasteries.










Is aspect 2 logical?

The mountainous regions were chiselled from solid rock centuries ago!







Is aspect 2 logical? No, it is not logical to say that the mountains were chiseled from solid rock.

What should be aspect 2? Logically, it makes sense to say that the monasteries were chiseled from solid rock.

Have you spent more than 25 hours

preparing for SC?


Do you feel that you are at 90th

percentile?


Have you solved every question

using the meaning-based

approach?


Significance of meaning

To achieve that 90th percentile ability, you need to have

100% clarity in meaning.

And that is possible only if you MASTER the

skill of reading the sentence slowly by

applying STRATEGIC PAUSING technique.

e-GMAT students learn this technique in Master Comprehension course and

they master this technique as they go through the Sentence Correction course.


200 concepts

To achieve 90th percentile ability in SC, you need to

1. Learn and master 200 concepts.

2. Apply these concepts on SC questions.


Do you have evidence that you have

mastered 200 SC concepts?

or

What evidence will you rely on to ascertain

that you have mastered these 200 concepts?

200 concepts

To learn these 200 concepts, you need to

1. Learn

2. Then refine

3. And then excel

And to refine and excel, you need feedback that tells you if you have learned the concept or not and provides you corrective action appropriately.


200 concepts

At e-GMAT, while you learn – refine – excel these

200 concepts, you get 87 feedback points.

contrast that with ~ 8 – 10 feedback points with a typical book or an online course


200 concepts

Without getting these 87 feedback points, you will

remain in dark about your proficiency level in each

of these 200 concepts.


200 concepts

To achieve 90th percentile ability in SC, you need to

1. Learn and master 200 concepts.

2. Apply these concepts on SC questions.


When did you learn the application?

1. after learning all the concepts

2. while learning the concepts


What application method did you learn?

We at e-GMAT insert method teaching duo – application and practice files – at various points as you are learning the concepts.

70th percentile

2 3 2 5 3 4


Thus, you need to learn the method through purpose-

built application and practice files at optimum points

while you learning the ~200 concepts.

This ensures that you reach at least 70 percentile ability level by the

time you finish the course.


As you learn the method using application files, you need to

know how you are doing -

- are you learning all the steps properly?

- are you struggling with some aspects of the method?

Thus, you need a system that gives you this feedback. This allows you to

take corrective actions right there and then and ensure that you remain on

the most efficient path to master the method that is crucial for you to

achieve that 90 percentile ability in SC.


An e-GMAT student gets such feedback at

least 23 times while learning the SC method.


Let’s see how this feedback enables

you to hit 90th percentile.

“There is absolutely no comparison.. Prior to using the meaning-based approach, I was lost in 2/3 out of 5 answer choices. My brain would tell me.. Even this is right.. This sounds right… there was no way to come to a conclusion”

With the meaning-based approach, my mind was at ease..I could see the core of the sentence, understand what the author wanted to say.. I could see the genesis of the sentence.. I could see the various appendages attached to sentence… I was rejecting answer choices on solid grounds… and my Verbal score improved from V32 to V42..

“The meaning-based approach is a game-changer. Before this, I was learning just the grammar .. But I was unable to solve 700-level questions”

“When you get to 700 level, the grammar is not going to be the deciding factor… because you would always have two options left.. and the grammar is not going to be the deciding factor.. The only way you would be able to select the correct answer in 90 seconds is by understanding the intended meaning.”
