Dustin's GMAT RC: Preparatory Answer Trainer-GMAT reading comprehension trainer

Example

A user reads a passage and is asked to determine the main idea. Before seeing answer choices, they must explain their interpretation in their own words.

Scenario

This function is used to gauge a user's initial comprehension of a passage, forcing them to rely on their analytical skills rather than guesswork. For instance, in a situation where the passage discusses the economic impact of globalization, the user might articulate that the passage is about 'the benefits and challenges of globalization on developing countries.'

Example

After the user submits their initial answer, the tool compares it against the correct answer and provides a rating from 1-10, indicating how closely the user's reasoning aligns with the expected GMAT response.

Scenario

Suppose the correct answer focuses on 'the varied economic outcomes of globalization across different regions,' and the user's answer only touches on 'globalization's impact on jobs.' The tool might rate this as a 6/10, pointing out the need to consider regional differences to improve accuracy.

Example

The tool offers detailed feedback on how the user's reasoning can be refined, such as suggesting they pay closer attention to keywords or the structure of the passage.

Scenario

In the previous example, the feedback might suggest that the user re-read the passage with a focus on how different regions are mentioned and consider how these details contribute to the overall argument about economic outcomes. This helps the user understand why their initial answer was only partially correct and how they can adjust their approach in the future.
