Your advice is spot on. I have been preparing for GMAT for the past month. I did get 550 on my first-ever official mock without any preparation. Then I started preparing from Manhattan Prep Materials and solving some questions on GmatClub. Then, I took the GMAT Club mock. Pretty I soon figured I was doing the problems in the old algebra way or the method I learned earlier, which is just consuming time and created panic in my mind. I soon started to find efficient techniques to replace my inefficient ones and came across your videos. It has been challenging since KZbin is filled with videos of people bragging about their "700+ scores in X months preparation strategy" Very few are actually talking about the real thing i.e. "techniques". One question I really wanted to ask is about the "source." Apart from the Internet, do you suggest any book or website in particular where most of these techniques are given, hence cutting down the preparation time even further?

Appreciated. I'm really sorry to say, while it may exist, I didn't find it. That's what this channel will become. Should've been already. Blame some bad luck 🤣 what i can recommend though is methodically search for the broadest techniques first. By which i mean, personally, (biased) my translation method as a starter for all questions. Then methodically go through a bunch of QUESTIONS, not materials, 500-600 and 600-700, official, on gmat club (not 700-800 until crushing all prior (hint: your score is sick once thats done, screw the 700-800 with a few exceptions for the extra knowledge but 500-600 and 600-700 90% of time then 700-800 just scanning through for new knowledge not solving questions really. Just not a good way of learning. Anyway! So you have a basic overall question approach down for all questions via practicing because obviously a high worth skill (every question...) (*cough* translation*cough*). That solves....a lot. Then you go through these official questions seeing if you can solve them. 500-600 first. Really really should be fast, all, before moving on. Wont be at all at first. That way you identify your good methods, lacking knowledge, and lacking methods. So you search around on specific question types you're slow at or cant do (say open 30 500-600 'divisibility' questions - should cover all knowledge for that level. Manually working through topic by topic 500-600. You will find ones you cant do. Or are slow or find hard. Those you know are bloody easy. You're missing knowledge or technique. So you search until you find one reliable technique you like. And you pay attention to how easy those questions are now. Thats a LONG process but pretty simple and efficient by definition. Why learn techniques for ones you're doing well on? Now 600-700. Immediately youll notice vastly better at these. But holes. New knowledge and method gaps. So repeat. Methodical. Long. But then you're 99% done. Don't rush this bit it's LONG. 700-800 you dont solve yet. You do the same: divisibility, OG questions only, 30 700-800. You look for new missing KNOWLEDGE not just hard questions. Will be obvious. One example being modulus: 700-800 suddenly you have 2-3 modulus signs and all your methods break. Learn the knowledge when found. This shouldn't take anywhere near as long as 600-700. Now, if you want practice doing hard questions you can do some 700-800 knowing you're not missing knowledge. Otherwise you're mixing difficulty with missing knowledge and they are not the same thing. Difficulty takes years and years to meaningfully start crushing them. Knowledge takes a few weeks. Hope difference is obvious. Truthfully if you are able to crush the 500-700s now faster than the time usually you'll have time to solve the hard ones, or some of them. But they truly don't matter like the easy ones. Very counter intuitive but just think of your score as rising up to a level and trying to survive there. All easy and medium correct, some hard right, some wrong, you've done Damn well. 760 type well on old test. Bit better on hards at cost of 1-2 easy/med? 700. Scoring dumb. People worry way too much about hard qs. Get the knowledge and that includes techniques. That gets you easy and med correct and speed and knowledge so you have time and knowledge to solve the hard ones. Which don't matter you're now 760-790 deciding. (800 is all right, 790 I got 9 wrong once...)

Contrary to expectations AND time taken/saved I've gotten 780 with 11 wrong and 760 with 5 wrong. 760 was 2 easy Qs silly mistakes early knocking me so far down I wasn't given hard Qs in time to recover.

Hey mate, this might be a stupid question but here goes... does the sufficiency question mean 'is statement 1 or 2 or together (or whatever) sufficient to PROVE the problem statement is true? i.e. to PROVE x is even, for example. Or is it to prove or DISPROVE. e.g. if you can prove x is odd for all cases if (1) is true, then even though that DISPROVES the problem statement, it is a definite answer so it's sufficient?
@thetutordl2 ай бұрын
Not stupid at all. I think of it this way: can you answer a student asking the QUESTION (no statements) fully either way with certainty? I.e. 1) lets me know for certain he's wrong, or he's right, or is exactly the answer and misses no other answers

Though as a confusing addendum unlikely for them to ask which statements prove x is odd if the answer is actually that it's not. More commonly 1 may prove its always odd, or 0, for example, as a little trick, so insufficient. Cant recall them asking anything as a definite task of proof that wasn't right. "Is x even?" Very different to 'which proves x is definitely even?'. Rambled on but shows how not stupid question is. Unless find example for me I'd assume student doesn't say anything I'd have to reply with "No you cant prove that because it's wrong in the first place". More common is simply "No x isn't always even because:" in response to them asking "is it always even?" Not "prove it's always even" (arrogant wrong student unlikely 😂)

Hey there! Since you mentioned to share if anyone comes across a more efficient method for solving questions, so I wanted to pass along one I found while prepping for the GMAT. In question 3 (average speed), there's a quicker way to solve it when the distance remains constant. Specifically, if someone travels the same distance at two different speeds, you can find the average speed using this formula: Average speed = 2ab / (a + b) Here, "a" and "b" are the two different speeds. This method is especially useful for Data Sufficiency questions and entails one important point that when the distance remains unchanged, we can find the average speed without the actual need of knowing the distance or even time for that matter. For question 3, applying the formula would give: Average speed = 2ab / (a + b) = 2(30)(60) / (30 + 60) = 3600 / 90 = 40 i.e., option B.

Great to hear thank you. These as mentioned were made quickly for students eyes and somehow one of them is near 100k views when 10 was my expectation. Great to see even the quick ones helped people and such nice comments everywhere - like this (plus 40 to 1760 subs with no uploads for years 😂) - have definitely motivated me to make a full proper guide to focus start to finish. should all be done by now but as previously moaned about, life has had other ideas preventing even tutoring for 18 months now :( but all hopefully done now and after a little bit of recovery and maybe a quick holiday fully intending to get it all done in 2024. But no promises other than when life lets me do a bloody thing this is top priority work wise. Very excited to kick off with a focus 805 in sub half time - this was all 2 months into first hearing about gmat and did work on improving after ahaha.. Hoping with good thumbnail, seo'd, audio and me visible it'll get some clicks expecting clickbait 😉 also having enquired believe It's a World record in the old so with 805 being harder expecting it in focus which will of course go in the title... No point making guides if nobody sees!and on a personal more selfish level, the youtube channel once complete is the perfect way for me to feel comfortable moving ever more elitist only with my actual tutoring rates 🤣 yt always free and will be the start, journey and end for people for focus which for some reason didn't exist for the old gmat. not many smart people seem to go into tutoring and stay and actually love it so perfectly happy to be the exception and get very well paid for doing what i love flexibly :) done the investment banking and offered a silly hedge fund salary but tutoring is fantastic for my true friend network of investors, is flexible, fun, allows KZbin and my ai startup and does tend to become well compensated if you go independent, care enough to become the best and, yes, are gifted academically. truly think in the UK especially it is way too hidden as a career option. - teacher pay is awful but thankfully tutor pay let me realise I could pursue it as a career. Genuinely think UK top end salaries goes; entrepreneurs, hedge funds/vc/pe, investment bankers, best tutors. I started thinking it was a stop gap while I figured out where to go next as NOBODY thinks of tutor as a career/good job here. so glad i researched a bit:) definitely one of my 2 callings. Written for anyone in the UK reading this! (Different in the US as your careers don't tend to often get stuck at 50k and 'top out' for all but the serious top dogs at 100-150 - in London those are to be read as "avoiding poverty" and "great can start saving for a house now I'm 33" (UK, not US, is a TRUE example of capitalist exploitation and everyone here is oblivious to how poor/getting poorer the UK truly is...*end of random rant.... consider tutoring uk smart readers 🤣*

@thetutordl6 ай бұрын
Many thanks :) You're correct but rewatch and you'd see your mistake I bet - we don't know N/M is an integer, that's what were hoping to find out. So without knowing that, 3N/M = integer doesn't mean N/M = integer: example n=2 m=3. n/m = 2/3, 3n/m = 2. So basically just the question a bit harder; logic goes other way and q is asking us if we can be sure, given the other info given, that n/m is an integer given that these multiples are integers. usually the answer would be no, that's useless info, but were sneakily given other useful info in question. Probably one of the best examples of a question I've seen that is truly WTF? unless you just focus on translating their paragraph of gibberish down to what they're telling us, at which point imo it's still hard (all of the examples tend to be 700-800) but certainly easier to grapple with/understand wtf is being asked.
