Long GMAT word problems don’t feel hard because of the math. They feel hard because of how the information is presented. Extra-long stems, buried details, and just one missed word can derail an entire solution.
In this video, Erika Tyler-John from Target Test Prep—a 735 scorer and expert GMAT instructor with 10+ years of teaching experience and 4M+ YouTube views—shares a simple but powerful technique for handling even the most convoluted GMAT word problems.
We apply this approach step by step to two real GMAT-style questions from the TTP course that more than half of the students miss, plus a bonus problem at the end. Instead of rereading the problem over and over, you’ll learn how to process information one piece at a time, translate words into math as you go, and stay in control from start to finish.
This isn’t a shortcut. It’s a control strategy—designed to help you stay organized, avoid traps, and protect points you already deserve.
