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

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
