Get Your Basics Sorted - The GMAT assumes that you understand certain concepts and use them as the basis of reasoning to solve the Quant questions.

[{"selector":"#anim-c7d76173-1a6d-4170-809c-6e8ab04ab279","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-69617bd9-612b-4643-8253-89b09a1da501","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-79f52446-e639-49e4-9086-83d8c9afba0c","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e79375eb-767b-4218-8897-a4e653108029","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Learn to Use Numbers Effectively - In GMAT Quant, the difference between the guy scoring 45 and the one scoring 51 is NOT that the latter knows more formula.

[{"selector":"#anim-19bb7cb9-4f32-4d0a-8b21-e6b108c1f2ec","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a8c5026e-88d6-45ff-9684-9904be0a9211","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f2abd1f7-a1f1-462c-aa4d-b4b8a20b8036","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5bf8024e-c631-4a9d-9d17-d325a5ce19c4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Do Not Jump to Conclusions - make it a point to notice the mistakes you make on practice tests so that you’re careful not to make them again.

[{"selector":"#anim-5f96aa8f-cc64-4ebb-9425-bd8e588b9775","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0a33b600-0d61-44c1-b16a-41744f524c07","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f0a2dfa7-766e-478c-ab91-0340aaa231bd","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fa2f84fc-7f6c-4521-82cb-e03aeb5e4344","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Identify Simple Solution - When preparing for the GMAT quant section, you must learn to think like a test-maker.

[{"selector":"#anim-c605d00a-d7a4-40be-9444-06ff909e6b83","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c4f0f99c-4287-4461-8fd5-c0c6bbc4c953","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4291e472-7e05-4044-b81f-05e23ac8a512","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-80dbaac9-4911-4bb1-bc17-e5ecb4c6d1c2","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Use Logic Over Math (Especially on Hard Questions) - One of the themes we always stress is that the GMAT Quant section is not, primarily, a math test.

[{"selector":"#anim-55503ae2-eefc-4109-9a4d-975cbe195628","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d6ace113-61ac-4ef5-b860-74552f7093ab","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b4a7a62a-cce8-42d6-81fa-79a7733da1c2","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3cf10e30-802e-4da3-9bbf-725184ab7fe2","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Do Not Depend Only on the OG - The best workaround in this situation is to review the questions on GMATClub and take notes about alternate approaches used to solve the question.

[{"selector":"#anim-3537e4f4-4684-4b86-af28-87cc54b02307","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2f2a3e34-392e-4f18-adc5-33c5f4b00a77","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-685e4264-586f-46fb-9828-9689c0d12914","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4cee2001-7270-4879-a31c-48cf5efd43cd","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Never be Rigid with Techniques - The whole point of reviewing questions using GMAT Club or the CrackVerbal forum is to bring to light new techniques that can help you solve questions faster.

[{"selector":"#anim-3e4bab36-9f93-48e1-a68f-aa63edea17f3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a9195616-985a-49ac-a1cd-75e4d7b371fb","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-43d34563-e0b8-42c1-b380-5a0bc24967b4","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-244a20aa-77ca-4e4d-a5bb-8c006801b2ee","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Master Data Sufficiency - Data Sufficiency questions generally make up just under half of the questions in GMAT quant. Since there are 31 questions in the Quant section, about 14/15 of them will be data sufficiency questions.

[{"selector":"#anim-3c31c6ab-4c1c-4c49-8cd8-fae28439f3cf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d79156fb-666f-4e60-ba69-5c2730715e9d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bafc90a3-eac6-42bd-98d4-8668aa9ac0c3","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5ce79352-a86d-4403-a1f4-c1c841e11704","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
