Entwistle--Actually, I learn the flashcard method from you after reading your debrief :D. Thank you, by the way.
Could you please explain how to make flashcards for quant questions? (you did not mention about this in your debrief
) Eg when I get a quant question wrong because I have no idea how to crack it, what should I write in the flashcard?. Honestly, the flashcard thing is quite new to me and I want to make full use of this method during my study.
Thank you so much!
This is how I made my Flash Card for the Maths part
P.S.
Step I:
On one side of the card, I wrote down the source of the question and the question itself.
e.g.
Src -
Manhattan Prep Test #2 Q - 24
Q: If integer k is equal to the sum of all even multiples of 15 between 295 and 615, what is the greatest prime factor of k?
Step II:
On the other side of the card, I wrote down the Topic and Subtopic (if any) for the Question.
e.g.
Numbers - Divisibility and Primes
On the same side, I worked out the problem
e.g.
sum of Mult. of 2 and 15 from 295 to 615.
mult. of 2 & 15 = LCM(2,15) x m = 30m
mean = (300 + 600)/2 = 450 (evenly spaced set)
number of elements = [(600-300)/30]+1 = 11
Sum = mean x number of elements = 450 x 11
k = 450 x 11 = 2x3x3x5x5x11
Greatest Prime Factor of k = 11
Ans - 11
Step III
If you can think of any ways to guess the answer to the problem, write it down.
I couldn't think of anyways to guess the answer for this one. So I didn't write anything
For DS... It's the same deal.. But in step II, instead of working out the problem, just write down why the statements is sufficient or insufficient
