Strategy for DS

by ibnbatuta » Mon Jun 06, 2011 3:57 am
I want to share some tips for cracking DS without hitch...
First of all, read the problem carefully and determine what is to be computed?
Then include only the first option data and try to arrive at the answer...
Then include only the second option data and try to arrive at the answer...
Then include both options data and try to arrive at the answer...
If you strictly follow these steps, you will rarely do mistakes in DS..
Let the juices flow :)

I think those 2 sets of questions is sufficient for the DS and Problem solving

and i dont have that link for the 300 questions for maths.

If you have done those questions then it is sufficient for GMAT level.

A great first step is to determine what you would need to answer the question before looking at either statement.

Also, you do not need to evaluate the two statements together UNLESS you have determined that each of them is insufficient by itself. (Approximately 40% of the time.)
