General GMAT Test-Taking Techniques
You may have heard that you can't study for the GMAT. But that's just not true! There are a bunch of things you can do to prepare yourself, and the more time you spend, the better your scores will be. In the first lesson, you'll learn everything you need to know about the general makeup of GMAT so that you'll know exactly what you're getting into come test day. You'll learn how to relax when you start feeling panicky, how to eliminate the wrong answers the tests try to entice you to choose, how to guess when you're not sure of the right answer, and how much time to spend on each question.
Overview of GMAT Sections
If you're not familiar with the kinds of GMAT questions in the different sections, you'll know exactly what to expect once you're finished with this lesson. You'll get a taste of the format of reading comprehension, sentence correction, and critical reasoning questions, as well as the analytical writing section. The lesson will also cover problem solving and data sufficiency questions in the quantitative section and introduce the question types found in the integrated reasoning section. The course will go over the information in much more detail in the upcoming lessons.
Reading Comprehension: Questions and Practice
You've been reading since you were a kid, but that's not enough experience to get you ready for the GMAT passage-based reading questions. There's more to these babies than just reading a passage and working through its questions, and after you finish this lesson, you'll have the tools you need to develop your own personal reading strategy.

You'll learn how to glide through even the most sleep-producing reading topics by focusing on what's important and ignoring what's not. Then you'll find out how to eliminate answers that hook other unprepared test-takers and spot the distracters the test-makers use to make wrong answers seem right. After that, the lesson will steer through GMAT reading comprehension passages that have appeared on past tests to give you a step-by-step approach for getting the most information from the passages in the least amount of time. You'll finish the lesson by practicing these skills on actual GMAT reading questions.
Sentence Correction: Questions and Practice
The GMAT has some multiple-choice question types (called sentence correction questions) that test your grammar and English usage skills. In this lesson, you'll go over a detailed strategy for tackling each of them. You'll learn what errors crop up most commonly in the given sentences so you can focus your attention on what's important, and you'll find out what questions are best to skip if you notice that you're running short of time. Knowing the rules of grammar is essential to maximizing your score on sentence corrections, and this lesson gives you the goods, but it won't bore you with every grammar rule known (or unknown) to the English-speaking public. You'll only review the rules that are most commonly tested on the GMAT.
Critical Reasoning: Questions and Practice
You may not have seen the GMAT critical reasoning questions before. Even though they may be unfamiliar, by the time you've completed this lesson, you'll know just how to tackle them, and they may just end up being your favorite GMAT test questions! In this lesson, you'll review the elements of a logical argument and the major types of inductive arguments you'll see on the GMAT. Then you'll go through step-by-step instructions on how to examine each type of argument and pick the best answer to each question.
Analytical Writing: Assessment and Practice
For years, MBA programs have complained that students don't know how to write. So you're going to give them a sample of the way you write before you even get to graduate school. If the thought of writing a complete analysis of an argument in about a half an hour has you running for the hills, don't despair. In this lesson, you'll go over a specific plan for making the most of your time so you can prove to the admissions committee of your favorite graduate program that you can put your thoughts together in a cohesive and interesting essay. You'll also compose sample essays and get the chance to read what other test-takers write.
Arithmetic and Algebra Review
You learned arithmetic in grade school, but you may have forgotten some of the basics that you'll see on the GMAT math. Don't worry, you'll review all the essentials in this lesson. The lesson will go over a lot of the things you probably remember, like how to perform multiplication and division, as well as some of the things that might be a little fuzzy, like exponents and fractions. The GMAT also tests your knowledge of standard algebra. It will go over variables, factoring, and a whole bunch of other fun stuff so that you know exactly what you need to answer the many algebra-related questions the GMAT has to offer.
Geometry and Advanced Mathematical Concepts
This lesson covers linear geometry, geometric shapes and measurements, coordinate geometry, statistics, and more. If you can't remember (or never learned) the difference between mean, median, and mode, this lesson will help you!
Problem Solving Questions
This lesson will focus on the most common type of GMAT math question—the multiple-choice question. Through a thorough examination of GMAT math questions from previous tests, you'll learn how to work through all kinds of multiple-choice math. You'll be whipping through the answer choices in no time!
Data Sufficiency Questions
The quantitative portion of the GMAT contains a question type that doesn't appear on any other major standardized test. It's called the data sufficiency question because instead of figuring out the answer to a math problem, you have to determine whether the information provided is sufficient to figure out the answer to the math problem. If this sounds a bit complex, don't worry! The lesson will provide you with a step-by-step chart to help you flow through these problems, giving you plenty of practice on prior GMAT data sufficiency test questions.
Quantitative Practice
This course will go over a lot of information, and you probably won't remember all of it, even with all of the additional work you put into each lesson. So in this lesson, you'll go back over all of the tips and strategies you'll need to know to do your best on the math questions on the GMAT. You'll also take a practice test.

First, you'll learn how to display and examine data stored in standard text files. Then you'll explore how to search for data contained in text files, taking advantage of some rudimentary database functionality built right into the Linux command line. Finally, you'll see which popular file archiving options you can use. By the end of this lesson, you'll know the Linux command line like the back of your hand!
System Administration Basics
When working in a Linux server environment, it's crucial that you know about users and permissions. In this lesson, you'll learn the basics of managing user accounts and permissions on a Linux system. You'll see how Linux supports multiple users on the system by assigning different types of user accounts, and you'll learn how to harness the mighty power of the special root user account. The root user account can create other user accounts on the Linux system, as well as restrictions on those accounts when they access files and applications. After seeing what the root user account can do, you'll want to know all about how to use the Linux system administrator's secret weapon!
Linux Processes
Your goal as a Linux administrator is to make sure everything runs smoothly, so in this lesson you'll learn how Linux handles the applications that are running on the system. Linux keeps track of a lot of different programs, all running at the same time, and you'll find out exactly how Linux does this. You'll also discover how to take a peek at real-time application information using both graphical and command line tools. Finally, you'll find out what to do if you encounter a runaway program with a mind of its own!
Linux Networking
These days, just about everything you do on a computer requires network access. This lesson will walk you through the basics of networking by imagining it as four separate layers. You'll learn how to use both graphical desktop tools and the command line to configure your Linux system to use the network. Unfortunately, while you always hope your network will run smoothly, sometimes you'll run into problems. For that reason, you'll learn how to troubleshoot common network issues and be ready to dive into any network situation.
Shell Scripting
Linux system administrators often need to perform the same tasks over and over, such as checking disk usage or creating user accounts. Instead of entering multiple commands every time, you can write shell scripts to do these tasks automatically for you. In the final lesson of this course, you'll learn how basic shell scripts automate everyday activities on your Linux server, as well as how to get the most from your Linux system by writing your own scripts. Once you finish this lesson, you'll be writing shell scripts that can help you perform the most mundane tasks quickly and easily!

What you will learn
- Learn what Linux is and how to install it
- Learn to use various graphical desktops available on Linux systems
- Learn to differentiate between types of Linux application licenses, popular desktop and server applications, and software management packages
- Discover how to use the Linux command line interface to access the kernel
- Learn about the Linux file system and master the methods of locating and handling different types of files
- Learn to manipulate files using both the graphical file manager and the command line interface
- Discover how to use the Linux command line to interface to list, search, and archive data stored in text files
- Manage users and files on the Linux system using the Linux root user account
- Learn to connect your Linux system to a local network and to the Internet
- Learn to write and run shell scripts on your Linux system
How you will benefit
- Gain the support you need to study, prepare for, and pass the Linux Essentials exam

Learn how to perform well on all three question types on the LSAT exam: reading comprehension, logical reasoning, and analytical reasoning.

Introduction to a Career in Law
You're taking the LSAT, but that's just a step toward attending law school, which is just a step toward a career in law. For that reason, you'll start this course with a lesson that gives you a peek into what a career in law actually looks like and what your opportunities are.
Law School Admission Procedures
Your LSAT score is just one of many factors that law school admissions committees will consider during your application process. This lesson will go through an overview of the whole process and give you advice on how to maximize your chances of gaining acceptance to the school of your choice.
Structure of the LSAT
In this lesson, you'll explore some of the things you need to know about the general makeup of the LSAT so you'll know exactly what you're getting into come test day. The lesson will discuss what to expect from all question types, not just the ones covered in this first course. You'll discover the basics of reading comprehension, logical reasoning, and analytical reasoning questions, and then get an overview of the writing sample. Everything you need to know about scoring procedures will also be revealed.
General Techniques for Preparing for the Test
You may have heard that you can't study for the LSAT. But that's just not true! There are a bunch of general things you can do to prepare for the LSAT, and the more time you spend preparing, the better your scores will be. You'll also learn how to relax when you start feeling panicky on test day.
Techniques for Taking the Test
In this lesson, you'll continue where you left off in the previous lesson by going over specific tips on how to approach LSAT question types, how to eliminate the wrong answers the tests try to entice you to choose, how to guess when you're not sure of the right answer, and how much time to spend on each question. After you've completed this lesson, you'll be ready to learn more about the specific questions, starting with analytical reasoning.
Analytical Reasoning Problem Characteristics
The analytical reasoning question type probably worries more potential LSAT takers than any of the others. So in this lesson, you'll learn how to think of this question type as a game—something you'd like to do for fun in your spare time, if you had any! You'll examine in detail what you should look for when tackling these questions, and then outline the best way to approach them.
Analytical Reasoning - Question Types
The analytical reasoning question comes in two main types: spatial order and group membership. In this lesson, you'll find out all about each type, complete with examples. You'll also learn about the subsets of questions for each type.
Group Membership and Temporal Order Questions and Diagrams
In this lesson, you'll learn how to master LSAT group membership analytical reasoning questions. The lesson will go over the proper diagrams to draw to keep information straight, and you'll go through plenty of practice with detailed explanations.
Spatial Order Problems and Diagrams
Next, you'll learn how to deal with the spatial order type of question. The diagrams you draw to handle this question type are a little different than those for group membership, so you'll go through detailed instructions with lots of practice questions.
Practice Tests
Knowledge is power, but practice makes perfect! In this lesson, you'll examine all kinds of LSAT analytical reasoning questions that have appeared on past tests to reinforce the step-by-step approaches you've already learned. You'll practice your skills on actual LSAT test questions.
Organizing the Writing Sample
Your response to the LSAT writing sample doesn't get calculated in your LSAT score, but you have to write it, and the admissions committee does get a chance to read it. So don't slack too much on this task. If the thought of writing a complete analysis of a scenario in 30 minutes or less has you running for the hills, don't despair. In this lesson, you'll go through a specific plan for making the most of your time so you can prove to the admissions committee of your favorite law school that you put your thoughts together in a cohesive and interesting essay.
Completing the Writing Sample
Before you impress the admissions committees with your essay, you'll get a chance to wow your peers. For this lesson, you'll read sample essays and then compose your own. You'll also get the chance to read what other test-takers write.

Just like when you learned about the ACT, you'll get thorough explanations of exactly how to deal with the types of SAT math questions.
Sharpen Your SAT Math Skills
In this lesson, you'll focus on the most common type of SAT math question—the multiple-choice question. With a thorough examination of some example SAT math questions, you'll find out how to work through all kinds of multiple-choice math. You'll be whipping through the answer choices in no time!
Succeed on the SAT SPR Questions
The SAT student produced response (SPR) questions don't appear on any other major standardized test, so you may not be familiar with how to deal with them. That's what this lesson is all about. In this lesson, you'll get the scoop on how to answer math questions that don't give you answer choices to choose from and then find out how to avoid making errors when you fill in the answer on the answer sheet. It's a very simple process to grid in your answers, and this lesson will show you just how simple it is by thoroughly explaining the approach to 10 sample SAT SPR questions.
Wrap Up the Course
You'll get a lot of information in this course, and you probably won't remember it all even with all of the additional work you put into each lesson. So, in this last lesson, you'll review all the tips and strategies you learned throughout this course. The lesson will make sure that you understand what you need to know for each math subject on the tests. It will also review what you should focus on as you prepare and show you how to best spend your study time as you prepare to strut your stuff on test day.
