Overlapping Sets

by ldoolitt » Tue Feb 09, 2010 5:59 am
Do any of the MGMAT guides cover overlapping sets? If not is there a good study sheet for overlapping sets floating around?

Word Translations covers Overlapping sets. They do an amazing job. She will be prepared for any overlapping set question on the exam.

Hey Idoolitt,
You can check out the following links:-
https://www.purplemath.com/modules/venndiag.htm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_(set_theory)

For MGMAT you can check one of their forums:- https://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/ove ... t6798.html

You can also check on GMAT Hacks :-https://www.gmathacks.com/gmat-math/thre ... -sets.html

I guess,it will be sufficient.If not,do let us know.:)
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

I thought about your fiancee's situation. This is what you should do for math. Get her Manhattan GMAT's math foundations, MGMAT Number Properties, and MGMAT Word Translations. That should be sufficient for math. With verbal if she would have time get the powerscore CR bible (its 300 pages), if not just get the Kaplan verbal workbook, surprisingly Kaplan does a good job with verbal.

Perfect! We are totally on the same page. Thats exactly what I was going to do.

I actually have the MGMAT CR book and I personally think it does a pretty good job. Is the powerscore CR worth getting in place of that? Really CR is just learning to write down premesis and conclusion. Maybe I oversimplify.

If you found the MGMAT CR book helpful, then go with that. I think PowerScore does the best job of imitating the actual logic of the exam, while MGMAT will throw things in there that are not covered on the exam. Specifically the way they deal with numbers and percentages.

Interesting. I'll check out the CR bible book then.
