Background: I've read a few articles here regarding DS, and read the section on DS in both MGMAT SG1 and GMAT for Dummies, so I understand the tactic of rephrasing the question, and to be sure not to attempt to solve unless it's necessary.
But still, my hit ratio is about 50% for the supposedly "easy DS questions" from MGMAT SG1......It's really frustrating b/c sometimes the question will not state that the solution must be a non-zero number or not. So my answer is wrong based on whether the solution is "allowed" to be zero or non-zero.
I'm struggling a lot with these questions and cannot afford a tutor. I read in a few posts that there is some type of pattern to figure out the DS questions. Should I attempt to memorize all the logic in each sample problem and apply that logic? Doing it myself is giving me a 50% accuracy score.
