Avoiding Unforced Assumptions - Quant Prepathon Lesson 3
<< Lesson 2 of Prepathon __________________________________________ Lesson 4 of Prepathon >>
Hope you got some really helpful insights from the first 2 lessons of 7-Days, 7-Lessons, 1-Objective Quant Prepathon. Today we are sharing the 3rd lesson of the Prepathon. In this lesson, we have covered a very common trap that students fall into – “Avoiding Unforced Assumptions”. Sometimes in GMAT Quant questions, some information is not provided by GMAT explicitly and it is fairly common for students to assume such information. However, these assumptions can turn out to be really costly.
We have covered this skill in detail in this video lesson along with an example question. Make sure you go through the video completely to learn the skill set.
We will share the 1st practice question of Day 3 soon after this post and we will attach the links in this post as well. All the best and feel free to put your questions in the comments below! Here’s the mega-thread where we will be sharing links to all the Prepathon related posts. So, enjoy learning some key Quant skills over the next 5 days through this Prepathon and stand a chance to win some exciting prizes too!
