Permutation, Probability haunting me!!!

by papgust » Fri Oct 09, 2009 8:21 pm
Hi,

For my GMAT quants prep, most of the topics are my weaknesses but i'm trying hard to strengthen them and improving well. But i'm really not able to progress well in permutations & combinations and probability. When i just think of these 2 topics, it haunts me to a great extent and my mind goes blank whenever i see a question on these topics. Even though, i manage to solve easy questions, i'm just not able to attempt medium and tough level questions. I'm weak in these 2 topics right from my school days.

Some ppl say that the no of problems in GMAT are less for these topics compared to other topics. But i feel that its better to improve my accuracy in these topics. Can someone advice/suggest me a good way to hone my skills in these topics? I'm able to learn the basics but when it comes to problems, i'm not able to apply the fundamentals in the problems.

Really looking forward to your tips!
