I have been doing DS for a while now but not confident. I came across the terms like.

N variables and n equations
independent and dependent equations
solving for the value of an equation

Please advice me the working knowledge and how to best tackle DS questions.

Thanks

I think DS is about conceptual clarity in Math. Once you gain that, then doing the questions is not very difficult. Initially I too had difficulty tackling DS questions but after a good amount of practice, things became more manageable

760-What worked for me and should hopefully work for you too

Hi varun,

Practically everyone struggles with Data Sufficiency questions at first. These questions are totally unique to the GMAT, so they're foreign territory.

If you're interested, our company has a free set of videos that cover every aspect of Data Sufficiency: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat-data-sufficiency

Also be sure to review tons of posts in the DS forum (https://www.beatthegmat.com/data-sufficiency-f7.html), and watch how the experts tackle DS questions.

Cheers,
Brent

"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."
