Hello Ofer,
It's hard for me to evaluate your situation and recommend material to improve your week points since I don't know anything about you. What I do recommend is to use only ETS and/or Pearson VUE tests. The level of the OG is a bit too low if you compare it with the real GMAT test. You'd better practice with the GMAT PREP. You can do each test several times, the questions do not repeat themselves too much. All the other materials I usually recommend to my students are available only for Meitav students, so I cannot help your here much.
Good luck with your test!

Hi,
The Sentence Correction section is based on hundreds of grammar rules that you have to learn and the method of recognizing those rules in the GMAT questions that I teach. I do not see any other ways to improve your SC score.
As for the RC section, I also use my unique method, and it is hard for me to give any advice without knowing how you deal with the RC questions and which method you use. Improving your vocabulary ceritainly won't harm, but will not improve your reading performance drastically.
The best way to improve your verbal is to join the verbal course at Meitav.
Anyway, you can give me a call at 0528384032 and we'll see what we can do.
All the best,
Irene

Hello,
Your ways of ruling out answers A, E and B are absolutely right.
In D the whole phrase is the subject (if you put a title or profession before a name, it is considered one subject. So there is no probleam with the subject in D. In C I see 2 problems -first, the participle modifier "plagued by injuries' appears in the middle of the clause, while it can appear only before or after the clause, and second, it does not make sense – it's not that plagued by injuries ,she won the competition; plagued by injuries, she sat out ,occasionally working as a tv commentator.
Any relative clauses, except for those starting with the relative pronoun "that" can come between two commas between the subject and the verb of the main clause. The commas indicate that the relative clause provides extra information.
All the best,
Irene

Hi!
Before 2006 it's in the old format anyway, but from January 2006 till March they are going to offer two formats – CBT and iBT. You will have to register for a specific format. Well, who knows, parobably after all, they will continue with the CBT even after March again.

Hi Amir,
To get the books you have to register for the course at this phone number:
1-700-70-17-70
You'll also get all the necessary information as for the preparation for the course if it is needed at all.
Reading books is not enough, since in literature scientific language that iappears so much in the Reading Comprehension is not used. Take into consideration that also reading scientific articles will improve your reading only to a certain degree. During the course I teach the method enabling students to handle complicated GMAT reading passages.
Yes, I mean that you can repeat the course as many times as you nees without paying extra money. As for the BGU courses, you can also take free repeating courses, but for repeating the course, you will have to come to Tel Aviv.
All the best,
Irene
To: alkabir
Hello Amir,
You can receive all the books as soon as you register for the course at Meitav.
You will get The GMAT Quantitative Guide written by our quantitative instructor Zach Goldman, The GMAT Sentence Correction Guide writtien by me, the GMAT Official Guide and practice test CD's.
If you want to start preparing for the GMAT before the course, you can use the Quantitative Guide, or even better, consult first with our quantitative teacher. As for the verbal part, I recommend that you start together with the course. The verbal part is very complex and misunderstanding of the material may cause difficilties in the future during the course. If you want to work on improving your vocabulary though, you can read articles in Scientific American magazine: http://www.sciam.com
I suggest that rather than prepare for the GMAT course, you take the course as early as possible. We give our students the option to repeat the course as many times as they need, therefore starting the course earlier will give you more time and possibilities to reach the desirable results by the time you have planned to take the test.
Best,
Irene

Information for the TOEFL takers,
The possibility to take the test in the compuer-based format has been prolonged till March. If you prefer to take the test in this format, don't forget to mention that you would like to take the CBT test when you register for the TOEFL.
Good luck!!

More information for the GMAT takers!
The center will be closed from 23/12/05 till 25/12/05 and on 31/12/05.
The registration for 2005 GMAT test is ending on the 17th of December.
Pearson is planning to hold GMAT tests only once a week, on Tuesdays, at 9:00, 12:00 and 16:00 in January.
Another Pearson's novelty is that the test takers will use 2 erasable noteboards instead of scratch paper.

Hi Erez,
The question has to do with parallelism. We have a list here: dust, particles and molecules, but we have another list inside of this list: to describe molecules we use two participles – created … and persisting… . ('Molecules created' means molecules that were created – omitted relative pronoun and verb 'be', and 'molecules persisting' means 'moleculed that are persisting' – again omitted relative pronoun and verb 'be'). Both persisted and persisting are participles, but the difference between them is that persisted is passive and persisting is active. Since logically molecules are persisting and not persisted by someone or something, I choose tha active participle. As for parallelism, an active participle can be parallel with a passive, since both are the same part of speech -participle.
I hope it helped,
Irene
Astronomers have theorized that the Big Bang governs the behavior of interstellar dust, particles that comprise the atoms and molecules created in the progenitive explosion and persisting in even the emptiest regions of space.

Hi Assaf,
If you are going to apply for MBA abroad, you will certainly have to take the GMAT again, and this time to do it with essays. You will probably also have to improve your GMAT score if you think to apply to one of the top schools. I don't know what your GMAT score is, but most of the top schools require the full GMAT score around 700.
All the best,
Irene
To: o.k.
Hi,
We have not planned courses for December yet, but I suggest that you take the course earlier anyway. Sometimes one course is not enough to reach the 700 score, and we give an option to repeat the course as many times as needed for free, so the earlier you start, the more possibilities you have.
Unfortunately, you can not repeat the test without essays. Well, theoretically you can, but the top universities will look at your score with suspicion if there are no essays there; they may also assume that you scored higher this time for a simple reason that you did the test without essays – it is definitely much easier.
You can get information on our courses here:
http://gmat.meitav.co.il/courses.asp?courseType=GMAT
Or just contact us by phone at 1-700-70-17-70
All the best,

To: Infowell
Hi!
I'm afraid there is no correct answer here. There must be "fewer" and "the number" in the right answer since the noun "drive-ins" is countable and plural. This way, by ruling out the answer choices with "less" and "amount" we are left with no answer choices.
The good news is that this question has definitely nothing to do with the real test – you have probably found it on one of the Internet GMAT dedicated sites, such as sentencecorrection.com
My advice to you is to practice only questions written by the official GMAT representitives (GMAC, ETS), such as the GMAT official guides or ETS GMAT disclosed editions. You can find them on ebay.com sometimes. This way you will really see what the GMAT questions are and avoid wasting your precious time, energy and memory on solving questions with no correct answers and questions not resembling the real test questions even a bit.
Good luck,
Irene

Hello Yaniv,
Although there are many specultations concerning the changes in the GMAT, according to the official sources, there will not be any changes in the format of the test or in the types of questions. That's what GMAC itself says about the issue:
"GMAC® has no current plans to change the format of the exam or the types of questions it contains. The GMAT® exam will continue to assess verbal skills with reading comprehension, sentence correction, and critical reasoning questions; quantitative skills with problem solving and data sufficiency questions; and analytical writing abilities with two essays.
The test will still be delivered in the computer-adaptive format, and, starting in January 2006, the Council will offer the GMAT® test exclusively in this format. No more paper-based tests will be given."
The GMAT® will remain as valid and reliable as it is today. The scores on GMAT® exams delivered by Pearson VUE will be comparable to scores on GMAT® exams delivered by ETS®."
Even though there won't be any changes in the GMAT, I still advice that you start preparing for your test as soon as possible to leave yourself enough time for improving your score and working with applications.
Please feel free to call me if you have more questions regarding the GMAT at the telephone 1-700-701770.
All the best,
Irene
To: nate77
Hi!
Before starting answering your question I'd like to give you a piece of advice: never answer a question basing on an idiomatic expression if you are not sure about it. Always look for other differences among the answer choices, I'm sure there will be one or two.
In this specifically question, I would start with the differences in the beginning of the answer choices, rather than those in the end. Achieving a concistency or achieving/achivement of farm animals? That's a purely logical question. Can animals be achieved? Can a consistency be achieved? Certainly not animals, so B, D and E are out. Now choosing between A and C I concentrate on another difference: conjunction 'as' versus conjunction 'that'. The conjunction 'as' means 'the same way as': the phrase 'achieving a consistancy the same way as once thought' doesn't make any sense. This way only C is left. Finally we did not have to know "thought to be" or "thought as". Anyway, the right expression is "thought to be".
I hope it helped,
Irene
To: eliko
Hi Eliko,
The essay score from 0 to 6 is included in the writing/structure score and is about one half of the score. You cannot translate the score from 0 to 6 directly into the writing/structure score, since it's done through the percentile rank, which changes according to the results of the people who have taken the TOEFL. 4 means approximately 50% 4,5 means about 70 %, 6 menas 98-100%. So if your range is 223-280 and you get 6 on your essay, your final score will be around 280, if you get 4 on your essay it'll be around 251.
I hope it helped,
All the best,
Irene
To: eliko
Hi Eliko,
I cannot tell you for sure whether one week will be enough for you since I haven't taught you and don't really know what your level is and what your problems are.
There is no any TOEFL book which is good for all the parts. If you encounter problems with the structure, I recommend Cliff's for the grammar overview (especially the old editions) and ETS Test Preparation Kit for practicing. For the reading comprehension part, I would recommend you The Princeton Review book.
Good luck!
Irene
To: Infowell
Hi!
I am afraid there is no any correct answer here. I think I met this question before in some of the ETS disclosed editions, and the correct answer they were giving ("three times more}) was quite dubious. Unfortunately, such kinds of mistakes sometimes occur even on the real test, both in the verbal and in the quantitative parts.
In normal case, the correct answer would be "three times as much as they did".
Best,
Irene

Hello,
The book is organized by topics, even though there are also mixed practicing pages. The book contains 450 pages, including more than 200 Sentence Correction practice questions.
Currently the book is available only for students taking GMAT courses at Meitav school, but soon it will be possible to purchase the book on our website.
Thank you for your interest in the Sentence Correction Guide,
Best wishes,

To: eliko
Hi!
I think the most realistic score you can get from the old ETS paper tests, you can look for disclosed editions at ebay.com or amazon.com . You can also do the powerprep diagnostic test, but the total score will be approximately 40-50 points higher than your real score.
Here is the link:

Hello!
No, the Kaplan tests do not represent the real score, especially on the verbal part. No one really knows how to score the tests except ETS. But the fact that you did badly on the test, no matter how exact the score is, is certainly an indication that you have to improve.
The tests formally start at 8:00 and 12:00, but usually there are many people who take only the math part at 8:00, so usually, if you registered for 12:00, but want to start earlier, there are a few free places at around 10:00 and they allow to those who have already arrived to start earlier.

קשה לענות על שאלתך בלי לדעת פרטים. אם ציון המבחן הראשון גבוה וציון המבחן השני רק קצת יותר נמוך, זה לא אמור להשפיע בצורה משמעותית. אם ציון המבחן השני הרבה יותר נמוך מציון המבחן השני, למשל 680 במבחן הראשון ו620 במבחן השני, בהחלט כדאי להתכונן טוב ולקחת את המבחן שוב. בוודאי גם חשוב לדעת לאיזה בית ספר אתה רוצה להתקבל.
מומלץ לעשות מבחן נוסף עם החיבורים כדי להוכיח שאתה מסוגל לקבל ציון גבוה במבחן מלא.

למרות שהאוניברסיטאות מקבולות ומתייחסות לכל ציוני ה-GMAT, בפועל אני לא נתקלתי במקרים כאשר תלמיד שהצליח לשפר את הציון אך לא התקבל לאוניבקסטה בגלל הציון הקודם. היו לי תלמידים ששיפרו את הציון הקודם ב-100 ואפילו 200 נקודות והתקבלו לבתי ספר Wharton ,IMD, Columbia.להפך במקרה שציון הGMAT לא מספיק גבוה האוניברסיטה מדי פעם מבקשת לשפר אותו.

אייל שלום,
החלק של החיבור של ה-GMAT הוא החלק הפשוט יחסית בכל החלק המילולי של הבחינה.בקורס ההכנה ל-GMAT מלמדים כתיבת חיבורים ונותנים תבניות לכתיבה ודוגמאות.לא מדובר בקורס נפרד אלא,בחלק מהקורס המילולי.
חשוב לציין שברב המקרים התלמידים מתקשים דווקא בחלק של הדקדוק והכתיבהSentence Correction and Reading Comprehension
ורב השעות בקורס מוקדשות לחלקים האלה
כדאי להתחיל ולהתכונן כמה שיותר מוקדם קשה להריך מראש כמה זמן יידרש לך מכיוון שזה משתנה מתלמיד לתלמיד,יש תלמידים שיכולים להיבחן מיד בסיום הקורס ויש כאלה שצריכים זמן לתרגולים נוספים לפני הבחינה
בקורסים שלנו יש אופציה לחזור על הקורס ללא תשלום נוסף ולכן אני ממליצה להתחיל וללמוד כמה שיותר מוקדם כדי שבמקרה הצורך תוכל להשתמש גם באופציה הזאת
העובדה שיש לך זמן רב ללמוד יכולה לעזור מאוד
לפי הנסיון שלי תלמידים שפינו מספיק זמן להכנה לGMAT הגיעו לציונים גבוהים ביותר
(700 ומעלה)

היי משה,
אוניברסיטאות בחו"ל דורשות את כל המבחן ולא מספיק ציון טוב בכמותי.
לכל בי"ס יש דרישות קבלה משלו אבל המובילות דורשות ציון GMAT בסביבות ה 700
כמעט בלי אפשרי להגיע לציון גבוה ללא הכנה ובמיוחד בחלק המילולי
המבחן נבנה במיחוד לדוברי אנגלית וגם רמת דיבור גבוהה באנגלית לא מספיקה כדי להוציא ציון גבוה.
לגבי מבחן ה-TOEFL זהו מבחן שדורשים מכל מי שרוצה ללמוד בארה"ב בכל תחום שהוא.קורס GMAT שלנו מספיק כדי להוציא ציון טוב גם ב-TOEFL
אשמח לענות לך באופן אישי על כל השאלות

שלום
הציון 28 בחלק המילולי זה ציון בכלל לא רע כדי להתחיל לעבוד על שיפורו.
כדי להשתפר בSentence Correcteion אין מה לעשות חוץ מללמוד מאות חוקים וטכניקות. החדשות הטובות הן שקיימים חוקים כאלה ושליטה בהם משפרת את הציון באופן משמעותי.
לאחרונה יצא לאור הספר שלי GMAT Sentence Correction שמתמקד בחוקים אלה. גם בחלק המילולי של הקורס שלי אני מקדישה את רוב הזמן לSentence Correction
חשוב לציין שהחלק של הSentence Correction הוא החלק הקשה ביותר במבחן לרוב התלמידים אבל דווקא החלק הזה הוא החלק שבקורסים שלי משתפרים הכי הרבה.
בקשר לחלק של הקרייה יש לי שיטה שאני מלמדת אותה בקורס והיא עוזרת להתמודד עם חוסר אוצר מילים ולחץ של זמן.
לשיפור אוצר מילים אני ממליצה לקרוא טקסטים מדעיים למשל של Sientific American online:

אכן משנים את פורמט הבחינה של toefl
מחודש ספטמבר 2005
בפורמט החדש לא יהיה חלק הדקדוק ויהו חלקים של הבנת הנקרא,הבנת הנשמע,הבעה בע"פ וחיבורים בצורה משולבת (לא כל חלק בנפרד אלא בצורה משולבת)
למשל תהיה הרצאה קולית במחשב ויהיה גם טקסט נוסף באותו נושא שהנבחן יצטרך לענות על שאלות בע"פ ובכתב.
אני מציעה למי שיכול להיבחן בפורמט הישן בגלל שאין עדיין שום חומר תרגול לפורמט החדש
חשוב לציין כי בקורסי הGMAT שלנו אנחנו מקיפים גם את כל נושאי הTOEFL וגם נותנים למי שצריך את חומרי התרגול של הTOEFL
מומלץ למי שלקח את קורס הGMAT להיבחן קודם כל בGMAT ורק אחר-כך בTOEFL

הרבה סטודנטים מגיעים ברמה נמוכה ויחד אנחנו מצליחים לשפר את הציון ואפילו עד 400 נקודות
כדי להגיע ל700 צריך להשקיע הרבה מאמץ גם מצד הסטודנט וגם מצד המורה
אנחנו מעבירים קורסים מיוחדים שמכינים לאוניברסיטאות המובילות בעולם

שאלתך חשובה מאוד.
בעלון המידע של המבחן, אותו תוכל להוריד בכתובת:
ftp://ftp.ets.org/pub/toefl/0405bulletin.pdf
מדגישה ETS:
"Scores more than two years old cannot be reported or verified."
לכאורה, אין צורך שהציונים יהיו תקפים מעבר לתקופת ההרשמה עצמה, אך מומלץ מאוד שלא לקחת סיכונים מיותרים ולהבחן סמוך לתחילת הליך הגשת הבקשה ללימודים.
נסה להוועץ גם בסטודנטים הרבים הפוקדים את הפורום לגבי הליכי הקבלה שלהם.

To: דוד
Hi David,
There is no any problem with parallelism in either C or E. In both of the answer choices the words determined and differing are participles (to make the passive voice, like in C, were determined, one uses the verb be and the past participle), so the only difference is the participial modifier versus the relative clause. The main difference between them, as I mentioned before, and in this particular case the only difference, is that they refer to different nouns.
Best regards, Irene

Dear Leanna,
This question is not a real ETS question, I know where it comes from, but I'm giving the answer according to what would be the right answer, did it appear on the real test.
Yes, I agree with you that the Sentence Correction section of the GMAT reguires very deep knowledge of grammar, and that is the reason I dedicated almost 500 pages of my book to the grammar, but along with that, I also want to give my students easy tools and various kinds of tips which can really help students improve their Sentence Correction results. Such tips are especially helpful for the students who are not native English speakers and have difficulty understanding the sentence. In addition, such tips make solving Sentence Correction questions much quicker.
So, finally, please let me teach according to my methods, Leanna, and you teach according to your methods, the most important thing is that our students get great GMAT scores.
Good luck to you and your students,
Irene
To: fried
What you say may be true, Leanna, but only in case it is not an ETS question, otherwise we have two correct answer choices, because according to your explanation C and E are equal. I really encountered a lot of questions in different books where the participial modifier refered not to the subject, but I prepare my students for the ETS GMAT test, that is why I teach them according to the rules that will work on the real GMAT test, and not only for Kaplan and Princeton books. There are two rules of the thumb that will always work on the ETS GMAT:
1. (A) Subjet verb object, which…
(B) Subject verb object, verb+ing
In (A) which refers to the object, in (B) verb+ing refers to the subject
2. (A) Subject verb… , verb+ing… .
(B) Verb+ing … , subject verb… .
In case the sentences are equal, except for the position of the participial modifier, both are wrong.
But attention dear students! These rules will work only with ETS Sentence Correction question!!! In other GMAT sources, they may even disagree with your answer choice, like Leanna did. But we are going to take the ETS GMAT test, aren't we? That is why I ALWAYS work only with the original ETS tests as well as with my own materials, of course.
Best regards, Irene
PS My Sentence Correction GMAT Guide will be available in all the major book stores in about a week, you will find a lot of explanations, tips and practice questions there.
To: aviv
Hello Aviv! Yes, you are right, congratulations!
And here is my explanation:
The growth of the railroads led to the abolition of local times, which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing from city to city, and to the establishment of regional times.
(A) which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing
(B) which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and which differed
(C) which were determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing
(D) determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differed
(E) determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differingIn answer choices D and E, the participial modifier "determined by when the sun reached…" refers illogicaly to the subject of the clause "the growth" (it's not the growth of the railroads that was determined by when the sun reached the observer's meridian…")
In answer choices A ,B and C, the relative pronoun "which" refers correctly to the preceding noun phrase "local times" , but in A and B the singular verb "was" does not agree with the plural noun "times".
So, just remember if you encounter answer choices that differ from one another this way:
Subject… verb …. object, which… .
versus
Subject… verb… object, participle (verb+ing or V3)
In the first case "which" will always refer to the object, and in the second case the participle will refer to the subject.
There are other differences among the answer choices, but always try to find the easiest to solve.
Good luck in your GMAT! Irene

Every day I receive many letters in which you are asking me to help you with difficult Sentence Correction questions. To avoid repititions and to speed up the process, you can post your questions here or at my GMAT forum at http://gmat.meitav.co.il
Always at your service, Irene

To: porata
Hi Assaf!
I personally believe that a good GMAT course is the only thing that can improve your GMAT score. In general cases, a course and some practicing will be enough to reach high results, but at our courses at Meitav we also offer our students the opportunity to repeat the course as many times as the student needs without additional fee.
As for reading, I usually tell my students that there is English and there is GMATish ;) so reading newspapers or books in English won't help you so much, you have to know all these "GMATish" tricks.
As for talking, it's even worse, the Sentence Correction section of the GMAT mostly checks the common mistakes of the native English speakers, so if you speak English as common Americans do, you can be easily trapped.
You can contact me at 058384032 or 03-7454557 for more information about my GMAT courses.
Take care! Irene

To: karni_m
Hi Karni!
Have you ever tried a GMAT test? Which parts of the verbal section did you find the most difficult – reading, critical reasoning, sentence correction? For the reading, for example, there are methods that enable you to answer the questions without actually reading the whole passage, for the sentence correction, you will have to learn hundreds of grammar rules. It is very much like math.
If you have never tried a GMAT test, I suggest that you download two free tests here http://www.mba.com/mba/TaketheGMAT/Tools/PowerprepSoftware.htm
The tests are probably a little bit easier than the real test, and your score will be a little bit exaggerated, but it will show you what the computer adaptive test is and what your problems are.
You can contact me any day at ant time except for 6:00 -10:00 p.m – that's when I usually teach my classes.
All the best! Irene
