GMAT Strategy

Keep in mind that everyone struggles with Data Sufficiency (DS) questions at first. This question type is totally unique to the GMAT, so it's foreign territory.

If you're looking for some extra DS resources, we have a free set of videos that cover everything you need to know: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat-data-sufficiency

Hi varun,

While Data Sufficiency is different from any "math" questions that you've ever had to deal with, the process for beating a DS question is standardized (it's always 4 or 5 steps, depending on the situation). DS question also test a variety of skills beyond math skills: organization, accuracy, attention-to-detail, thoroughness, etc., so you have to be willing to do ENOUGH work to prove what the answer is.

All that having been said, you've hinted at seeing various strategies for DS. What materials have you been using to try to learn this subject?

Hi varun,

Are you working with GMAT books, a Course, or some other source for questions? I ask because most GMAT books, Courses, etc. will provide some explanation or lessons on how to handle DS questions. I'd like to know what material you've been using so far. If you haven't invested in a GMAT Course, then you might consider the various options out there. Consistent, professional advice can help you to beat the various DS questions you'll face and everything else that appears on the GMAT.

Hi Varun,

Most GMAT Companies offer some type of free resources or sample practice materials; I'd suggest that you research the various options then pick the one that helps the most, and matches your personality and budget.
