math testing numbers DS

by resilient » Tue Mar 04, 2008 9:44 pm

When testing numbers for DS, I usually find that I could have gotten the right answer if I tested a bit more. DOes anyone have any tips on testing numbers more intelligently and more thoroughly?

I believe that mayonnai5e had some good tips for testing numbers on DS. Dig around the archives with the search box on the top right, and you should find that post...

Check out mayo's blog in the "I just Beat The GMAT" section. I believe I saw his number picking strategy there.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
