Hi Everyone,

Hope all of you are having good fun with all the quanti problems around. I am. It's good to solve quite a few problems everyday when in real life problems keep on pouring and most remain unsolved for days!

Back to business -
I am trying to understand the dreaded probability and combinations topic. I used to be pretty good at those when I was in high school but am very very rusty now. The very first realization I had while starting on the prepration of probaility is that the best way to learn probability is to quickly create a basic understanding of the formulae associated and then plunge into solving problems that have explantions for the solution. This is also when I realized I cannot find a set of such questions that are relevant for GMAT.
I found a nice set of Qs that Eric had uploaded some time back (Resources->Advanced Math->Probability->Probability and combinations.doc), but would need some more to gain confidence in the topic.
Do you guys know of any good set that I can use? Please upload if you have any; that will be a BIIG help! I'm sure there are many who will benefit from the same.

Have a nice time everyone!

Thanks
Anirban

I did the Veritas Prep free trial class on Probability and Combinations and they gave me a book with quite a few pretty difficult problems in the homework, so that's at least one place you can find good problems and some strategy advice.
