GMAT Wordplay: Playing to Win

Chris Farley’s character here makes the classic error of missing an ever-important word: “I thought the concierge meant to go SEE a game show, not BE ON a game show. Big mistake!” This is a game show pitfall that Los Angeles GMAT instructor (and Jeopardy! champion) George Yates knew well to avoid; that Los Angeles GMAT tutor Travis Morgan…well, you will see this fall on NBC; and that New York City GMAT Instructor Dave Halliday, well, learned the hard way in the waning minutes of his would-be-champion Jeopardy! run, missing a key word on Final Jeopardy! and incorrectly answering a question to which he KNEW the correct answer, losing his lead and the game in the process.
