Hi,

I find that most of my incorrect answers are either DS or CR. I am still unable to find why I get stuck with these two. Can anyone please help me out with a general strategy to attack them?
Or which material would give me a very clear distinction between the correct and the incorrect answers in these two sections.

PLease help before I loose confidence.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Rupam

For CR, try the PowerScore CR Bible. I used it like one week before my test and thought it was great, with high-quality explanations and tips. The only downside is that it only has about 50 questions.

From what I've noticed, people get DS questions wrong because they tend to "mix" the info from the two questions without it being necessary. What I mean is that you should start by analyzing the first statement without even looking at the second one and simply forget about the first statement when solving the other one. If you take them both together even without realizing, then you've set yourself up for a wrong answer.

Thanks Danaj. I will try to keep the point in mind while doing DS. This could be one of the possible reasons.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
