Data Insights Question of the Day

Yeah, this is the only way. I’ve been getting close to the mean score in my mock tests for all 3 sections, to be honest. So what you’re saying does make sense. I have my exam in the next 20 days, so just intense practice is what I will need to work on.

Thank you for the advice!

Total Won= 0.4n + 1*(35-0.4n)
Total lost = 0.6n (as they need to win all the remaining matches.

Option 1. Total games= 50
i.e. 0.4n + (35-0.4n) +0.6n = 50
0.6n = 15
n= 25 so remaining matches = 50-25 = 25. Hence Sufficient

Option 2. First n lost = 60%
Overall lost = 60%
Hence Remaining lost = 60%
Remaining won = 40%
which is equal to 10
Therefore remaining matches can be calculated as
40% of X = 10
Therefore X = 25
Hence Sufficient
So correct Answer is
Both options alone are sufficient.

Proud of you for getting close to your mean score. Good luck =)

Has anyone encountered the Grey Parrot MSR question yet? Very confusing, and too many inputs. If familiar, what is the best way to approach it?

Is it a mock Q?

Yes, from the Sigma X mock tests, its on the first freenone

for Focus Edition

Okay not GMAT’s Mock right?

No, Sigma X - eGMAT paper

they are apparently the closest to the actual paper apart from the OG mock tests

Hi!, you can click on the pinned comment above to follow the butler series for Data Insight questions

hey guys.. I am struggling with quant.. whenever I see a question, my mind just goes blank.. can I get any advice to improve my mathematical skills?

Just practice along with building the error log and getting “key takeaways” from every question !

There is no way other than conceptual improvement + practice

That could be because you are not familiar with the basic concepts, if so, you should go back and revise concepts and practice those concepts with variables and number and then see if you can solve a few questions.

I see.. can u guys recommend any books to make my basics strong?

I felt this way at the beginning cause I havent touched it in a decade. Here’s a tip on a slow but reliable process that worked for me.
1. Watched GMAT Ninja’s videos to grasp the basic concepts
2. G-Ninja is more of introductory so what I did from there was to attempt lower level Q’s and build up from there. Topical practice for consistency until I ensured that I understood the concept. I have an Excel tracker of all the topics I covered with all my weak points. I use our Club’s resource for this. OG Q’s, Manhattan Prep and Veritas are good sources from our FORUM.
3. I didnt do this cause I am a self-learner and FORUM discussions is really what suits me best but you could try signing up for a course. Here’s a link to help you pick what could suit you.

This is high level understanding from Bunuel. Going through it though helps you strengthen your basics You dont know have to know it but after going through you, you better understand it. I mean, I live by his teachings for Quant. Loveeee his explanations.

You can go through gmatclub quant book.
