Understanding GMAT
SUCCESS ON THE TEST
1. Subject Preparation is thorough (this will
matter only to the tune of 50%)
2. Thorough Mental Preparation (Remaining
50% contributor to your success)
3. Pattern Based Study
4. Zero errors on RC under time pressure
5. Studying the weakest areas the most
6. Pace: finishing the test is the most
important
7. Try not to have more than one wrong
answers in a row
8. Quality over quantity. A lot of analysis and
deliberations on each question
9. Studying the Right Content
10. Doing at least 10 four-hour long simulated
CATs
RECIPE FOR DISASTER

1. Preparation is gimmicky.
2. Lack of three vital ingredients: Concentration,
Mental Toughness, and Steady nerves
3. Study just to get the answer correct
4. RC makes you panic
5. Studying the strongest areas more often
6. Slow pace, so towards the test you tend to have
too many wrong answers in a row.
7. 2 or more than 2 wrong answers in a row.
8. Mindless solving of hundreds of questions
9. Studying Irrelevant Content
10. Avoiding four-hour long simulations
Subject Preparation
The GMAT is a mind-game play it like one
Preparation alone cant ensure any score execution during those four hours means everything
Stamina, Concentration, Mental Toughness, and Pace are equally crucial
Practice with the right content the key to success
RC is the most crucial among all test areas
Master PATTERNS and conquer the test

RC Passages
In the past decade, rapid technological progress
and a greater demand for high-quality digital imaging
have led to dramatic advances in video display
technology. The dominant technology currently used in
most consumer product displays is the active matrix
liquid crystal diode display (LCD).
LCDs apply thin-film transistors (TFTs) of
amorphous or polycrystalline silicon sandwiched
between two glass plates. The TFTs supply voltage to
liquid-crystal-filled cells, or pixels, between the sheets
of glass. When hit with an electric charge, the liquid
crystals untwist to an exact degree to filter white light
generated by a lamp. This filtered light shines directly
on the viewing screen or, in the case of projection
televisions, is projected through a small chip that acts
as a lens. LCDs that are capable of producing color
images, such as in televisions and computers,
reproduce colors through a process of subtraction,
blocking out particular color wavelengths from the
spectrum of white light until only the desired color
remains. It is the variation of the intensity of light
permitted to pass through the matrix of liquid crystals
that enables LCD displays to present images full of
gradations of different colors.
The nature and functioning of LCD displays present
many advantages relative to other display
technologies. The amount of power required to untwist
the crystals to display images, even dark ones, is
much lower than that required for analogous
processes using other technologies, such as plasma.
The dense array of crystals displays images from
computer or other video graphics sources extremely
well, with full color detail, no flicker, and no screen
burn-in. Moreover, the number of pixels per square
inch on an LCD display is typically higher than that for
other display technologies, so LCD monitors are
particularly good at displaying large amounts of data
with exceptional clarity and precision. As a result, LCD
TVs are considered the best display platform for video
games, high definition television, movie special effects,
and other graphics-intensive uses.
1.
The tone of the passage could best be

described as
(A) supportive advocacy
(B) cautious endorsement
(C) disinterested explanation
(D) intellectual exploration
(E) qualified support
2.
The passage indicates that each of the

following may be considered an advantage
of LCD displays relative to other display
technologies EXCEPT
(A) they consume less power
(B) they generally have more pixels per square
inch of the display
(C) they are able to display continuous video
graphics images with no interruption
(D) they reflect a widely adopted standard
(E) they represent the latest, most advanced
technology
3.
The process through which an LCD monitor

displays different colors is most closely
analogous to
(A) An hourglass partially blocked such that a
limited stream of grains of sand fall into the
lower portion
(B) A series of filters that separate all of the
components of a mixture according to size
(C) A recording studio soundproofed so that any
performances within are muted to those
outside
(D) A piece of construction paper with outlines of
characters cut out such that a lamp in front of
the paper casts shadows in the shapes of the
characters
(E) An air vent that emits warmer air outside of a
building while an air conditioning system cools
the interior of the building
Some modern anthropologists hold that biological

evolution has shaped not only human morphology but
also human behavior. The role those anthropologists
ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of
human behavior but one of imposing constraints
ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that come
naturally in archetypal situations in any culture. Our
frailtiesemotions and motives such as rage, fear,
greed, gluttony, joy, lust, lovemay be a very mixed
assortment, but they share at least one immediate
quality: we are, as we say, in the grip of them. And
thus they give us our sense of constraints.
Unhappily, some of those frailtiesour need for
ever-increasing security among themare presently
maladaptive. Yet beneath the overlay of cultural detail,
they, too, are said to be biological in direction, and
therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes. We
would need to comprehend thoroughly their adaptive
origins in order to understand how badly they guide us
now. And we might then begin to resist their pressure.

The primary purpose of the passage is to

present
a position on the foundations of human behavior
and on what those foundations imply
a theory outlining the parallel development of
human morphology and of human behavior
a diagnostic test for separating biologically
determined behavior patterns from culture-specific
detail
a practical method for resisting the pressures of
biologically determined drives
an overview of those human emotions and motives
that impose constraints on human behavior
The author implies that control to any extent
over the frailties that constrain our
behavior is thought to presuppose
that those frailties are recognized as currently
beneficial and adaptive
that there is little or no overlay of cultural detail
that masks their true nature
that there are cultures in which those frailties do
not come naturally and from which such control
can be learned
a full understanding of why those frailties evolved
and of how they function now
a thorough grasp of the principle that cultural
detail in human behavior can differ arbitrarily from
society to society
It can be inferred that in his discussion of
maladaptive frailties the author assumes
that
evolution does not favor the emergence of
adaptive characteristics over the emergence of
maladaptive ones
any structure or behavior not positively adaptive is
regarded as transitory in evolutionary theory
maladaptive characteristics, once fixed, make the
emergence of other maladaptive characteristics
more likely
the designation of a characteristic as being
maladaptive must always remain highly tentative
changes in the total human environment can
outpace evolutionary change
In 1977 the prestigious Ewha Womens University

in Seoul, Korea, announced the opening of the first
womens studies program in Asia. Few academic
programs have ever received such public attention. In
broadcast debates, critics dismissed the program as a
betrayal of national identity, an imitation of Western
ideas, and a distraction from the real task of national
unification and economic development. Even
supporters underestimated the program; they thought
it would be merely another of the many Western ideas
that had already proved useful in Asian culture, akin to
airlines, electricity, and the assembly line. The
founders of the program, however, realized that
neither view was correct. They had some reservations
about the applicability of Western feminist theories to
the role of women in Asia and felt that such theories
should be closely examined. Their approach has thus
far yielded important critiques of Western theory,
informed by the special experience of Asian women.
For instance, like the Western feminist critique of
the Freudian model of the human psyche, the Korean
critique finds Freudian theory culture-bound, but in
ways different from those cited by Western theorists.
The Korean theorists claim that Freudian theory
assumes the universality of the Western nuclear, maleheaded family and focuses on the personality
formation of the individual, independent of society. An
analysis based on such assumptions could be valid for
a highly competitive, individualistic society. In the
Freudian family drama, family members are assumed
to be engaged in a Darwinian struggle against each
otherfather against son and sibling against sibling.
Such a concept projects the competitive model of
Western society onto human personalities. But in the
Asian concept of personality there is no ideal attached
to individualism or to the independent self. The
Western model of personality development does not
explain major characteristics of the Korean personality,
which is social and group-centered. The self is a
social being defined by and acting in a group, and the
well-being of both men and women is determined by
the equilibrium of the group, not by individual selfassertion. The ideal is one of interdependency.
In such a context, what is recognized as
dependency in Western psychiatric terms is not, in
Korean terms, an admission of weakness or failure. All
this bears directly on the Asian perception of mens
and womens psychology because men are also
dependent. In Korean culture, men cry and
otherwise easily show their emotions, something that
might be considered a betrayal of masculinity in
Western culture. In the kinship-based society of Korea,
four generations may live in the same house, which
means that people can be sons and daughters all their
lives, whereas in Western culture, the roles of husband
and son, wife and daughter, are often incompatible.

In response to the increasing cost of producing energy through traditional means, such as combustion, many
utility companies have begun investing in renewable energy sources, chiefly wind and solar power, hoping
someday to rely on them completely and thus lower energy costs. These sources require significant initial capital
investment, but the operating costs are not so high; so the utility companies claim that they will provide stable
energy supplies at low costs. As one can easily see, these sources will be less risky for the utilities than nonrenewable sources, such as gas, oil, and coal, whose prices can fluctuate dramatically according to availability.
The claim of the utility companies assumes which of the following?
A. The public will embrace the development of wind and solar power.
B. No new deposits of gas, oil, and coal will be discovered in the near future.
C. The necessary technology for conversion to wind and solar power is not more expensive than the technology
needed to create energy through combustion.
D. Obtaining energy from non-renewable sources, such as gas, oil and coal, cannot be made less risky.
E. Weather patterns are consistent and predictable.

A. Most parents would refuse to purchase video games for their adolescent children.
B. The majority of federal legislators would vote for a bill that prohibits the sale of video games to minors.
C. Not all adolescents who play video games on a regular basis suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome.
D. Playing video games is the only way an adolescent can develop carpal tunnel syndrome.
E. The regular playing of video games by adolescents does not produce such beneficial effects as better handeye coordination and improved reaction time.

Profits for one of Company Xs flagship products have been declining slowly for several years. The CFO
investigated and determined that inflation has raised the cost of producing the product but consumers who were
surveyed reported that they werent willing to pay more than the current price. As a result, the CFO
recommended that the company stop producing this product because the CEO only wants products whose profit
margins are increasing.
The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating whether the
CFOs decision to divest the company of its flagship product is warranted?
A. Does the company have new and profitable products available with which to replace the flagship product?
B. What percentage of Company Xs revenues is represented by sales of the flagship product in question?
C. Are there additional features which could be added to the product and for which consumers might be willing
to pay a higher price?
D. Will the rest of Company Xs management team agree with the CFOs recommendation?
E. Is there a way to alter the manufacturing or distribution processes in order to reduce the cost to produce the
flagship product?

Learn all the techniques that helped Sandeep get perfect scores time and again ... and ... YOU too can get such a
score. We have bottled all his cumulative GMAT-related learnings gathered over the last 15 years ... all you have to do
is to study 300 hours using this neatly bottled package extremely intensively ... and a 99th percentile (760 or
more) is GUARANTEED. In other words, you cannot find better GMAT Training anywhere else in the country.
The best GMAT trainer in India as your personal teacher, coach, and mentor! Here are some facts about
Sandeep:
A perfect 800 score (99th percentile) on the real test. Also, his minimum ever score on the real GMAT has
been 770 with the highest possible section-wise scores of Q51, V45.
15 years of experience in GMAT Training.
Has trained more than 30000 students in the last 15 years.
Specialist in all areas (Verbal, Quant, and AWA).
Something about Ivy-GMAT (How is it different from all the other institutes?):
Faculty: All Areas (Verbal, Quant and AWA) taught by Sandeep Gupta - no other institute in India has even
one faculty member who has scored in the 99th percentile band. Insist upon the official score report of
the faculty in case any other institute / trainer claims a 99th percentile score.
With us, you also dont have a problem of multiple trainers at other places, if you find that one trainer is
really bad, you cant do anything as you are shown the demo of the better of the two (or the best of the
three) and are sucked into joining the shoddy course.
For us, GMAT is an obsession. We believe that money will follow if we do our job well.
A score of 750+ is guaranteed if you put in 300 hours of intensive effort along with our extremely rigorous,
challenging, and intensive course material.
Special question bank of 700-800 level questions with detailed solutions the best practice tool ever designed
(not offered by any other institute).
All the material to be provided by us (in soft copy). No need to refer to any other content at all. All the
classroom teaching content and methodology designed by Sandeep Gupta. The best content for GMAT-Preps
you can imagine anywhere in the world. The content provided is extremely exhaustive.
Adherence to the LATEST PATTERNS of the GMAT ... we track the exam very closely and offer the most
relevant and cutting-edge instruction pertinent to the LATEST PATTERNS.
Access to more than 25 CATs/CBTs/FLTs - the highest that any institute can ever provide.
Complete preparation to be able to tackle the highest level of questions on the test.
An absolute guarantee that the GMAT will not test you on anything outside of the course content covered
here. Each type of question on your test will have been covered in detail. Even at the highest level (the
highest score obtained by many students taught by Sandeep has been 790 - and each of them has repeatedly
vouched for this fact), not even one question will seem alien to you (if you do all the content as advised).
Ideal preparation time is about 3-4 months assuming you are able to devote at least 3 hours on a weekday
and at least 5 hours on a weekend (apart from the classes). Less than 300 hours of personal input will most
probably mean 'disaster'.
You are required to do extra practice (of extremely challenging content) during and after the course.
In terms of concepts: We start with the most basic and go up to the most advanced.
In terms of questions: We never deal with very basic questions. Each question taken up in the class is in
700-800 bracket only.
Most important: the right mental training for the right execution ... the most critical part of this training.
This is a rigorous course. This is not for the faint-hearted. Also, if you expect spoon-feeding, this is not
the right course for you. We firmly believe that with spoon-feeding, we can never make someone score above
750.
All material (Concepts, Theory, Practice, Test Series, Extra Help etc. etc.) to be provided by us. You are not
supposed to refer to anything else at all.
Duration of the classes: 8 weekends
FEE: Rs. 18900 payable only in cash. There is no installment scheme.

Expectations from YOU
Results come only when you put in the effort. A 610 student also sits in the same class in which a 770
student sits. So the difference is not in instruction / service quality. The difference is clearly in the efforts put
in by a student. Our training program works only if you work. No MAGIC MANTRAS You have to put in a lot
of hard work.
We are committed to a 760 or more score for each one of you. ARE YOU COMMITTED ENOUGH? If your level
of commitment is for a 500 score, there is going to be only frustration.
Keep pace with the classes no backlogs.
The course is homework-driven. Do all homework in time there is no exception to this condition.
o In other words, if the GMAT is not an obsession for you for the next few months, this course is not
for you. This course is for people who will eat, drink, sleep, and wake up only GMAT for the next few
months.
Always keep pace in mind while studying / solving questions.
Understand the nature of the test and study accordingly, e.g., studying on the computer screen is better than
studying on paper.
Do all the material as and when suggested. Dont read any extra material unless suggested by us.
This course is not for you if
You are not serious about your efforts OR if you look for a quick-fix.
You are aiming at low score. Someone who wants to go to some lower rung B-schools in Australia, Canada, or
the UK (and thus seeks to score only 500-600) will not find this course helpful. This course is administered at
the level of 700 or above. The course is DEMANDING it wants you to do MORE and not LESS.
You are very weak at Math. Certain basic aptitude in Math is expected.
You dont want to do the homework before the classes. There is no excuse for not finishing the homework
we wouldnt want to hear any excuses: Work pressure, project, deadline, submission, release, travel, etc. etc.
PLEASE DONT JOIN if you are not ready to do the requisite homework.
You are addicted to studying on paper. As per the exam requirement, you have to study on a computer.
