How do we increase speed on MSR and TA ? Finding little improvement with practice. Any specific approach ? I have observed that with Q with multiple statements (T/F nature) - a lot of to and fro movement between question stem and Table/Tabs - resulting in wastage of lot of time.

Hey guys,

Good morning!

I prepared for a while and took a mock test recently in which I scored a 635 (V85, Q83, DI77). I’m looking to bump up my scores and am targeting a 695+. Happy to connect with anyone who is at a similar score range, or if anyone can help me with Q and DI 😊 I would really appreciate it! Looking to take the exam around May .

@ishanii check out this link..this may help you with DI

And for quant,analyse the errorlog of attempted mock. Check where you faltered, the incorrect were because of conceptual gap,process error, calculation error or rushed through. Also along with incorrect ones check where you took more time than the expected ideally 2 to 2.15 min is enough even in some question 3 min is still fine if that is correct but more than that is area of concern, analyse what led you to take more time, is there any approach to shorten the time taken.

I have created an article on my approach to MSR - https://gmatclub.com/forum/my-approach- ... 54391.html, you can check that out. I feel you are struggling with same type of radio button questions in both the formats. Quite likely, all these sub questions would be revolving around same dataset, so it’s always good to understand your target scope. And when you are initially reviewing the data, abstract some sort of relation b/w this data. There’s no harm in going back and forth b/w question and tabs but you should try your best to answer them within 20s. Always remember that the question would never be designed where each sub question requires 1-1.5 mins to solve because it would be practically impossible to solve that question under given time and GMAC knows that. So your job here is to figure out which of these statements you can quickly answer ie. under 30s and maybe one of them might be calculation intensive where you need a little more than 1-1.5 min, which is totally fine. So whenever you analyse the tab or table, learn to spot trends and leverage sorting wherever needed.

Like visualise your boss asking you to send him some analysis on a dataset in 5 mins, how would your mind operate? You want to operate in that zone rather than looking at these questions just from academic lens.

Hi all,
Can someone help me out with this exercise: https://gmatclub.com/forum/if-x-80-by-w ... 08333.html

I’m struggling to figure out which one of x and x^2 should be old or new in the percent change formula. Each approach yields a different result.

Many thanks 🙏

x^2 is 20% smaller than x

or

x is 25% greater than x^2


Term after ‘than’ is your denominator

Its basically the same you are calculating though in the First approach where you calculate for x=old you would have to calculate one step further where you ask yourself if x^2 is 20 percent smaller than - how much bigger is x than x^2

80 is 20% smaller than 100

100 is 25% bigger than 80

This is a simple formula which will help you recognise what the question wants exactly. So since here it's asking X greater than X^2 , therefore you'll have to take X^2 as the denominator and you can change this according to the question you get... Hope this helps

If x = 80%, by what percent is x larger than x^2?

(A) 8%
(B) 16%
(C) 20%
(D) 25%
(E) 80%

x = 80% = 0.8
x^2 = 0.8 * 0.8 = 0.64

Percent by which x is larger than x^2:

(x - x^2)/x^2 * 100 =
= (0.8 - 0.64)/0.64 * 100 =
= 0.25 * 100 =
= 25%

Answer: D.


______________________________________

The general formula for calculating percent increase or decrease (percent change) is: \(\frac{\text{Difference in values}}{\text{Reference value}}*100\). The reference value is the value you are comparing to. This means the reference value always goes in the denominator of the formula.

(When we are talking about percentage change from old value to new value, it would be \(\frac{\text{New Value - Old Value }}{\text{Old Value}}*100\).­)

In this question, we are comparing to x^2 (If x = 80%, by what percent is x larger than x^2?), so the reference value is x^2, which means it must go in the denominator.

Hope it's clear.­
