Thank you, one more question, why do you test for two values (12/5 and 24/10)? I know they are multiples of each other but why is needed to test them?
Thanks again,

Which is the best way to solve this question?
Hi, how would you solve this question in the less amount of time possible. I was able to check I easily, but II and III require a lot of algebra that takes a lot of time.
Thanks in advance,
FM

Hi Rich, for the last CAT I was disappointed after the Quant section, I though I was terrible when in fact I performed as usual. That changed my approach to Verbal and took the section careless. That, combined with the fact that I was already worn out resulted in my worst performance in the Verbal s...

Hi, thank you both, I simply write down the tense of each phrase/clause and order them to check consistency (sequencing). Sure, It takes me a bit of time and I do write the ABCDE to cross them out.
Thanks again,
Fernando

Strategy on SC Questions, Take notes?
Hi, just a simple question. There are a lot of places where I see the following message: "You should not take notes for solving SC questions" However, when I am practicing and viewing the debrief of a given question, most of the times the notes make the answer a lot more clear. Being a non...

Hi Rich, thanks for your answer. I already went through the review of every problem in the CAT. For the Quant section that I finished early, I definitively could do those problems but a pair of them that involved combinatronics.
