Avoiding Common DS Mistakes
Summary
The content focuses on common mistakes made by test-takers on the GMAT data sufficiency questions and provides strategies to avoid them.
- Don't overcalculate; the goal is to determine if you have sufficient information, not to find the answer.
- Treat each data sufficiency statement separately and independently to avoid mixing information between them.
- Do not confuse a definitive 'no' answer to the prompt question with insufficiency; a clear 'no' can still mean you have sufficient information.
- Analyzing each statement independently and understanding the logic of data sufficiency questions are key to avoiding common pitfalls.
- Practical examples illustrate how to apply these strategies to typical GMAT data sufficiency problems.
