Hi all,
I've been doing well in PS problems, but not so great in DS. Because i was advised not to actually "solve" the problem, I try to mentally figure out whether each statement is sufficient.
While I never carry information from statement 1 to statement 2, I do tend to make careless mistakes...usually assuming E when it's C or assuming it's C when it's A or B (i.e. leaning toward assuming it's not sufficient).
I'd like to figure out a more careful approach. I'm sure I need to write some of the problem down, but I'm afraid of writing down too much (i.e. solving the problem).
How do you all approach DS problems? Would like to get a few ideas to try as I head into more intermediate/difficult DS problems. Thanks!
Edit: This link basically says practice, which I'm planning on once I get a few ideas :)https://www.urch.com/forums/gmat-data-su ... lp-ds.html
