Can anyone suggest the most efficient way for dealing with Overlapping Sets questions on the GMAT?
The Manhattan GMAT suggests using a double-set matrix for two sets and a Venn Diagram for three sets. However, I have found that the double-set matrix, although very accurate, is extremely time-consuming to construct, while using Venn Diagrams for simple two-set problems is much faster. I have also found that the Venn Diagram for three-set problems is very accurate, but also time consuming. Is there another way?

The double set matrix is actually pretty quick.. Why do you think it is time consuming???

For me it takes about 1 minute to draw the whole matrix and label it appropriately. Then I have to scurry to fill it in with the correct numbers and solve the problem, which takes about another minute.
