 |
|
Can someone please give me a tip on how to distinguish when order matters and when it DOESN'T matter when reading a combination problem?
i.e. I am having trouble figuring out when to use the MGMAT strategy of "YYYNNN" anagram versus a "123NNN" anagram.
Thanks so much for the help. |

Have you read through the permutation/combination notes on the GMAT Flashcards? http://www.beatthegmat.com/viewtopic.php?t=32
