  1. powerscore cr bible is the best in my opinion, havent tried kaplan but from what i hear kaplan doesnt cover the hardest questions or hard questions. However, you would still need the OG and the GMAT Verbal Review for practice questions, nothings better than the books the GMAT gives
  2. New Jersey's is possessive hence it seems like New Jersey has lyme disease so we can eliminate A and B. B also makes it like New Jersey is doing the reporting. C changes meaning, saying that NJ has the actual report, the document. Hence New Jersey is not one the five states with the highest cases of Lyme disease but some other state. D. is correct E. there's an issue when you say NJ reports, meaning that NJ is only reporting but it is not clear that NJ has one of the five highest cases of Lyme disease.
  3. I think its C, A and B both use had been, which states that the action happen and stopped in the past, C uses the present have been allowed.
  4. "it" is singular so it has to refer to Museum, and the museum cannot request itself to return anything In B them refers to greek authorities, which means that the museum is requesting that the greek authorities return the parthenon marbles C makes it look like the british museum is requesting to return the parthenon marbles D correct its the greeks who want the parthenon and it correctly refers to the museum E them refers to the authorities
  5. economy is also singular. In this case it refers to whatever is closest to it. Since economy is closer than Florida is "it" refers to economy
  6. Yes were is plural but there is only one emotion that is talked about
  7. considered (nothing) is the correct idiom so narrow down to A and D. he stunned his family and friends "by filing and [by] setting" the by is not included in the sentence but if you put it before setting you can see that the sentence is parallel as it is Answer is A
  8. prefer X to Y is the correct idiom Something else is tested here, the judges do not Prefer X to Y, rather they have a preferred reference But if your not sure just look for other errors A) a lot is wrong with A but the most obvious of all is "distributed among the rich and the poor" the rich and the poor are two groups so "between" should be used B) C) among - wrong idiom D) some litigants have a preferred status to another doesn't make much sense E) Among
  9. Just because ... does not mean - not just because... did not mean
  10. there is no ambiguity with D, 95% cannot refer to the department as there is only one department, so the only thing it can refer to is the child care centers. The use of a semi colon in choice E should give u a hint. The sentence coming after the semi colon should be able to stand alone so "the range was from splinters to equipment near collapse." should be independent, it is not so you know that the semi colon has been used incorrectly. HTH
  11. Answer is B, their - refers to the doctors and "to do so" refers to finding a cure for the common cold them is the wrong pronoun so A and C are out D is ok up to when they say "to do it"; to do what? E same as D HTH
  12. A: over 2500 miles long and extending - it should be extends B: extended (past tense) makes it sound like the road does not extend from ecuador to peru anymore C: placing "the Incan highway" inside the commas means that it is additional information that does not need to be there for the sentence to make sense, but if you take it out the sentence makes no sense what so ever D: same as C and changes meaning when it says "was extended" E: Correct, removing phrases the sentence would read; The greatest road system built in the Americas, the Incan highway was over 2500 miles long, extending from northern Ecuador through Peru to southern chile
  13. For the first question: visitors have often looked and "have often saw" that doesn't make much sense. so its between D and E Whose is a possessive verb, so it has to refer to monkeys or visitors. here to refers to monkeys cause it is closer to monkeys. D is parallel For the second question: the statement "with higher-than-average blood pressure" is an adjectival phrase modifying young people, which is the subject of the sentence. so if we remove the phrase it reads: Studies have shown that young people whose families have a history of high blood pressure are more likely than others to develop a severe form of the condition Hope that clears things up
  14. relations is plural so it needs the plural verb illustrate, one nation with another is unidomatic relation changes the meaning The answer is C Whats the OA
  15. It helps with the confidence. they have similar questions but the LSAT version is more complicated and you have to think more indepth before you can get the answer, i would say that the questions from the LSAT are almost like the ones that the Real GMAT will have. Since the GMAT Prep and OG give simpler questions than the real gmat it helps to do some LSAT ones, if you have time.
  16. well if your looking for a book, you could check out LSAT Critical Reasoning Bible, or GMAT Critical Reasoning bible, both are from powerscore and i believe both have the same content. LSAT and GMAT CR are similar its just that LSAT is a little more difficult since somethings are not as clear as they would be on the GMAT version. The CR also helps with the passages because its pretty much the same thing except the passage is much longer. I havent read any books for RC, i prefer to just create my own strategy when it comes to that section. other than the CR Bible, practice the LSAT CR and RC questions from 1000RC and 1000CR, they start with GMAT Qs but if you scroll further you will find the LSAT ones
  17. In short they are trying to make cars that are more fuel efficient, than the cars in the past were. Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their production history. A. small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their - unclear what their is referring to the manufactures or the cars, additionally the sentence says they are making more fuel efficient cars now than before, which means that they have been making fuel efficient cars and now they are increasing production, which is not the case. B. small cars that are more fuel-efficient than they were at any time in their - unclear what their and they are referring to C. small cars that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time in - Correct, those can only refer to the cars D. more fuel-efficient small cars than those at any other time in their - more fuel-efficient cars suggests that the cars were always produced and the manufacture just decided to produce more, and their has no clear referent E. more fuel-efficient small cars now than at any time in - Same as with Option D
  18. There is no LSAT SCs just RC and CR, which are pretty difficult and have helped me a lot in those particular areas. Taking them helps a lot with confidence so if you have time go ahead and do so, however it is also important to know why your getting questions wrong, what error do you keep making, that's where you can improve. LSAT questions will only take u so far. Another thing you could try are the sets 21 - 30 in particular, it helps you focus your attention on Verbal as a whole. HTH
  19. A, C, and D are out because they cannot modify wheat. E: comparison between a protein and wheat is wrong The Answer is B
  20. 24. You can eliminate A, B, and C because like is used when comparing two nouns, in this case we're comparing the earth spinning to a figure skater spinning, hence we need as D is wrong because the word who is only right if the sentence began with like instead of as The correct Answer is E The pearls question A: as pearls moving is wrong its either like pearls moving or as pearls B: like pearls moving is correct C, D, and E: Awkward The answer is B
  21. Basically, the assumption is that computers can be programmed to think just like people think. so we're looking for an option close to this A: the words "are able" makes it look like the computers are programming themselves to think like humans B: "were" is not the correct tense C: "as people can" could refer to as people can be programmed or as people can think D: like is the right word here, means similar to E: being is wrong in this sentence two actions have to be happening at the same time in order for "being" to be used correctly "becoming" is a better alternative over here. So IMO D is correct i dont see how C is the right answer
  22. Answer is D: ABC are all awkward The arangement of E is weird
