During my GMAT preparation, I made close to 300 flashcards to help me stay fresh on the strategies and materials I had studied over the course of several months. The document linked below contains the digitized version of my flashcards--please use them as a study aid.

Also, seriously consider making your own deck of flashcards for your own studies. You will be surprised by how much you commit to memory by simply writing down concepts on paper.

Best of luck!

Hi !

Thanks for the great flash cards.

I am not sure if this is a mistake.

On page 65, bottom left hand corner flash card, the example is
"Since Mieko’s average speed was 4/3 of Chan’s, her time was 4/3 as long."

Do you mean to say Mieko's average speed was actually 3/4 of Chan's, hence her time was 4/3 as long?

Hi Eric,

I was just scrolling through your flashcards. Thanks for sharing them. They seem excellent, I will dig deeper into them soon, but I had a quick question while I was scrolling.

Your flash card regarding "Backsolving" stated:
"Start with Choice ‘E’ and work back to ‘A’ when backsolving from the answer choices"

Can you please tell me why you chose this?
From Veritas, I heard to start from C, because then you know which way to go (whether up or down).
From Kaplan, I heard to start from B or D, because if you pick the right one, you might be done. I found this might not be as good as Veritas' way.

And then I read your's, if you start from the lowest or highest, wouldn't you end up doing most amount of work?

Thanks

Thanks Testluv! Makes sense. Which company do you instruct for?

Thanks Eric.
Well then combining your and Kaplan's strategies together, the best way to go is answer D.

Thanks guys. I think there are definitely different rules of logic that apply to backsolving. I believe when I wrote that card I was influenced by a lesson I heard somewhere that problems designed for backsolving are naturally created to waste a test takers time. Thus, if a person is naturally inclined to work from first answer to last (like working through a list), then the correct answer would tend to appear at the bottom of the list.

This is at best a hypothesis, and certainly a controversial issue. Not sure I've seen a perfect answer for backsolving strategy to date!

But thanks Testluv for sharing your two cents!
