Hi,
My weakness is in DS, especially unknowns containting exponents, or exercices with many unknowns, as well as the sneaky questions containing many integers...
I am taking the test on tuesday, and if anyone has some good rules or strategies to remember so I can save some time - PLEASE throw it out here!
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I can share few things which have helped me
1) Before going to the statements - first paraphrase,rearrange,interpret and simplify the question to get the real question ( there is always something hidden ) - if you do this in many cases it will throw up the answer in either statement 1 or 2 itself
2)when you start interpreting statement 1 and get stuck - glance over to statement 2 and you many realise in somecases it is exactly what is needed to make statement 1 sufficient - you can confidently say that statement 1 by itself is insufficient
This doesnot mean that statement 2 is insufficient but it allows you to quickly move to statement 2
Hope this helps.

This might be inherently obvious, but one thing I try and do if I am unsure on a DS question is to see if one of the two statements is a masked/blatantly reiterating the same information as the other question. If you can somehow get this to occur (and it is actually the case, obviously), then you have a 50-50 chance of getting the question right by picking between answer choice "D" and "E".
