Best DS practice?

by yousufa » Fri Jul 19, 2013 8:23 am

Hey guys,

Im having a lot of problems with DS (and quant in general). What is the best way to practice DS questions? I have practiced on my Manhattan GMAT books but those questions seem a lot simpler than the ones in the official GMAT book (in which I'm only getting maybe 40% right).

Thanks

Hi yousufa,

DS questions are built more on testing your organization, thoroughness and attention to detail than on high-level math skills, so if you're getting lots of DS questions wrong, then the way that you're approaching the questions is probably the problem. Take a look at the EMPOWERgmat FREE DS Workshop & Quiz. It'll give you some perspective on DS questions and show you an easy way to attack them.
