Review of 1000 PS and DS questions [#permalink] New post   29 Aug 2011, 20:40

Hi,

Has anyone ever used 1000 PS and DS question bank for GMAT? I am unable to find suitable reviews of the quality of content present in these materials.

My problem areas are -
1. I tend to get slow during the middle of the exam and create undue time pressure towards the end.
2. I make a lot of silly mistakes.

Some say that this question bank has easier questions (probably below 650 level) compared with the current GMAT Quant level, but I think that these questions might be a good source of practice. I guess practicing relatively easier questions might help me get rid of silly mistakes and timing pressure.

Can someone please guide me whether its a good decision to work on these document or not.

PS - I am through with many questions of gmatclub 25 Quant tests,. but still facing the issue of silly mistakes.

Thanks.

Hi Fluke,

Do you have any idea whether the 1000 PS and DS question bank level is below 680 or above 680?

I don't know it for sure, but my guess would be ~85% of those are below 650. Most of those are between 500-650. Rest few are below 500. Try those; pick a few sets, say 3 DS and 2PS at random and see it for yourself. If you are making >3 mistakes in every set, then it's worthwhile. Let others know your opinion after solving those sets.

Good luck!!

I did 1 section of PS. Completed 20 question in 27 minutes and got 2 wrong. :-) Since I tend to make careless mistakes in easy questions, I will surely work on this document.

Probably, this might help me ensure that I don't get any 600-700 level question wrong.

I have solved 1000series and from my experience it is definitely around 650-680 level except last 2-3 questions of every set that tend to be 700 level. 1000series helped me a lot in word problems, be it mixture,ratio,percent,interest or any other. I was getting bogged down by wordings but this question bank really helped me figure out word problems really quickly. I have solved most of the set and at one stage I could solve all question much within stipulated time. That's the key. But do not expect tougher mean-median or geometry or inequality questions from these sets.
For 700-level, check out GMAT Paper Test sets. That's very close to real GMAT exam except well it is not CAT.

Another suggestion- did you tried Bunuel collections (esp. for good quality questions! his profile link - https://gmatclub.com/forum/members/member-73391.html- please look @ signature ). For me those questions saved a lot of time and did not really worked too hard on quant part.

Dragon Ball Try SETS 31 question, these questions kick the ass of 1000 PS/DS. Take each Math Test as a sectional test.
