Notes for Verbal ！
[CR]
• Reread the GMAT OG many times to be able to understand, solve until you can
convince yourself
• Point is to keep a distance from “reversal of idea" of the general public or “the logic in
this world“, but focus only on the conditions given in the world of the question
• For example, when asked “which does this logic most strengthen?", just in that simply
there are a few choices that strengthen, choices that strengthen the assumption that
"this is logic to collapse in reverse when you are negative. This will often be the answer
• In other words, the most important prerequisite is to see through, whereas the small
choices, such as going to Strengthen / Weaken come next
• Thoroughly formulate Argument!
