GMATPrep CAT Algorithm

I know that the Actual GMAT has around 10 experimental questions. Does the GMATPrep also gives us experimental questions ?

Re: SC QUESTION

I would go with 1) because it is concise in the first place and conveys the message without altering the meaning.

I am not sure about 3) and 4) because you have usage of and and one of the parallel elements is a clause < I have..to London> and the other doesn't have an explicit subject..

Re: After moving to Switzerland in the 1890’s, Albert Einstein

In B why can't we think as..Albert Einstein attended .. and developed... as 2 parallel actions
How do we know that the 'developing' is also subjunctive to attended...?

I know it changes the meaning when we use developed but how do we know as what the author meant to say at the first place ?
thanks

Why is B wrong ?

Are we looking for Just as X, So Y ; X and Y needs to be parallel ?

Re: SC

Why is B a sentence fragment ?
From Ron's answer
" an archaeologist who needs a background in art history to evaluate finds of ancient art" is a sentence fragment. it's a subject + modifier, and doesn't have a verb."

It sounds perfectly right to me

Re: In a set of numbers from 100 to 1000

Might be an easier way 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 - total of 10 digits _ _ _ three places to fill can leave 100 and 1000 b/c both are even 1st place any digit except 0 and 5 - 8 choices 2nd place any digit except 5 - 9 choices 3rd place any digit except and even - only 4 choices ( 1,3,7,9) 8*9*4 = 288

Re: SC: MGMT Question Bank. LIKE vs AS

Why can't the meaning of the original sentence be interpreted as ' similar to'
Mathematics similar to creative activity.

to approach mathematics like (similar to) creative activity.

Then do I go down a wrong path of comparing approach and creative activity ?
