Hi all,

Like many of you I have seen several blogs and articles talking about how the GMAT is more of a reasoning test than a test of your knowledge - that is in order to succeed on this test you must learn how to "reason" though the questions and the test itself. One question, though: How does one learn how to "reason" through questions? This is an issue that I have not been able to remedy since I began my GMAT journey several months ago. Can an expert or anyone chyme in with some helpful advice and knowledge on the subject?

Thanks,

Rastis

I always remind myself that "GMAT is trying to trick me". I don't like to get tricked, so I try not to let GMAT trick me.

That is how i reason with gmat questions :P
