"The rating system for electronic games is similar to the movie rating system in that it provides consumers with a quick reference so that they can determine if the subject matter and contents are appropriate. This electronic game rating system is not working because it is self regulated and the fines for violating the rating system are nominal. As a result an independent body should oversee the game industry and companies that knowingly violate the rating system should be prohibited from releasing a game for two years." The author of the editorial concludes that an independent body is needed oversee the game industry and companies in order to regulate the rating system. While this claim may well be valid, the argument is based on several questionable assumptions and premises which make it hard to accept. Based on the evidence provided in the article, we cannot accept this argument as valid. Firstly, the main issue with the author’s argument lies in the unsubstantiated premises. The article mentions that the game rating system is not working, but never addresses what is not working. There are number of factors such as consumer complaints, faulty games that could constitute the game rating system not working. However, the author is too vague as he simply mentions that the system is not working. In addition, he claims that the fines for violating the rating system are nominal. The author fails to mention what nominal exactly means. For instance, what is nominal for one company may not be nominal for another company. The lack of clear evidentiary support render this conclusion unacceptable. Secondly, the author makes several assumptions that remain unproven. The author assumes that the implementation of independent body will improve the game rating system. However, it is possible that the independent body is ineffective and fails to improve the rating system. Furthermore, the argument makes the assumption that the entire game industry needs to be monitored rather than the rating system. The unsupported assumptions weaken the argument. While there are issues with the argument, that is not to say that it has no base. The author can improve the argument by providing evidentiary support about what is not working in the game rating system and how the two year ban will help situation. The article can also provide statistics about the current fines for violating the rating system. The author can also strengthen the argument by providing clear evidence on why the implementation of the independent governing body will be successful in improving the game rating system. In summ, the author’s argument has illogical structure, unsubstantiated premises and unsupported assumptions that render the claim unacceptable. If the author truly hopes to convince the readers that an independent body is required to improve the game rating system, he needs to conduct research to provide evidence and to support the assumptions. Until then, the claim may only be accepted be very few readers.

Hi, I came across this test for AWA and i was wondering if people can say what they would write for this. I had the following. - Author does not fails to consider the impact of removing products that attract younger consumers. - Author lacks evidentiary support on how much increase in sales there will be and also how much the number of middle-aged consumers will increase by. i was struggling to think of more points for this particular piece. Any help please!!!

Hi, i was wondering if someone could please review this sample essay. i've written a few of them but I have no idea as to where I stand in terms of the GMAT standard. "In general. people are not as concerned as they were a decade ago about regulating their intake of red meat and fatty cheeses. Walk into the Heart's Delight, a store that started selling organic fruits and vegetables and whole-grain flours in the 1960's, and you will also find a wide selection of cheeses made with high butterfat content. Next door, the owners of the Good Earth Cafe, an old vegetarian restaurant, are still making a modest living, but the owners of the new House of Beef across the street are millionaires." The author claims that people are not as regulated as a decade ago about their intake of red meat and fatty cheeses. The author attempts to support the claim by comparing three local businesses and what they sell. However, this argument is not very persuasive as it fails to provide vital statistics and address key assumptions . Firstly, the author claims that people are not as regulated about their intake of meet and cheeses as they were a decade ago. However, the author assumes that the reader has knowledge about the intake of red meat and cheeses across the time period. In order to provide a stronger argument, the author should provide some statistics that clearly show that people are consuming more red meat and cheeses than they did a decade ago. Secondly, the author attempts to support the claim by describing Heart’s Delight. The author mentions that the store sells fatty cheeses in addition to the organic fruits and vegetables. However, the author does not clearly state whether the store recently started selling the fatty cheeses. It is possible that the has always had the selection of fatty cheeses. Furthermore, the author assumes that the store having fatty cheeses in its shelves directly reflects on the customer’s buying patterns. In order to support the claim, the author needs to provide concrete evidence and statistic about the sale of the fatty cheese in Heart’s Delight. Finally, the author compares an old vegetarian restaurant to a new beef restaurant. The arguers that since the owners of House of Beef are richer than the owners of Good Earth Cafe, more people are consuming beef. However, the author never addresses author factors that might impact the profitability of the two restaurants. For instance, the author does not consider the expenses of each restaurant. It is possible that House of Beef has a more streamlined process compared to Good Earth Cafe. The author makes generalizations about how regulated people are in their intake of red meat and fatty cheeses just by comparing 3 local businesses. The author needs to provide more evidence and statistics to make such a claim. The author also needs to address the assumptions mentioned above to make the argument more persuasive.

Is 4x+y = 810? 1. x - y = 9 2. y/x = 1/4 I was wondering if someone could please help me with this question. While it seems easy, I don't quite understand the explanation given by the book!

Hi Nicolea, I haven't see this problem but i would do it the same way you have mentioned in your response. What is the correct answer? varun

I thought it would be B ( n = -6) because we are told that n is greater than or equal to -6.

Thanks Brent. But, according to your explanation, if n = -7.5, it is greater than -8 but not greater -6. So how does that work then?

Thanks Brent. Your time management strategy is really good and I hope to practice with it!!

Hi, I've only recently started studying for GMAT and had a question which I was hoping to clarify. I apologize if this has already been answered! So, in the GMAT, there are 4 sections writing (1 topic), integrated reasoning (12 questions), Quant (37) and finally verbal (41). I generally hear people say, I got 49 in my practice verbal or quantitative. Or people say, you should get 700 in your practice test. The GMAT books says that in order to get 97%, you need to get 47 in Verbal. How is possible if there are only 41 questions. Am I missing anything basic here? Also, in a practice test, is it possible to get a feel of you overall mark? How do I know if I'm sitting in 600 or 650 or 700? If this has been covered in a previous thread, could you please send me a link? Varun
