I have noticed that questions involving a large sequence or string of numbers have caused me more trouble than any other type.
The h(100) question, for example. I saw how people broke it down to get the answer. I don't know that I would have ever been able to figure out that method, and certainly not in 2 minutes.
Obviously, the GMAT isn't expecting us to do the extensive calculations, and there are methods/number properties that help us break it all down to where we can identify an answer. I am just not very good at figuring those methods out for a particular problem.
Anyone have advice on methods/strategies you may use to attack these types of questions?
I appreciate any help you can offer.
