Please help: More permutation/combination/probability need 11 Aug 2006, 13:55

Hi all,

Math is my concern. I'm confortable with Verbal. Towards this I would like more practice esp. for Probability, Permutation and Combinations. The kind of reading I am looking for will start of at basics, followed by problems with explanations - i.e. a comprehensive Review.

I have studied [or have with me]:
1. PR - did not find it sufficient
2. Kaplan Premier (ongoing) with CD - This has problems with explanations but no basics / formulas etc. before diving into the problems
3. Kaplan Advanced 800 - not done yet
4. OG - not done yet
5. Studied link on GMAT club: Permutations & Combinations : Help is on the way! - https://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=10838

Does anyone know of a good resource?

Thanks.

saumster,

You're on the right track. You just need to understand the foundations of probability. Also, know when to use permutations and when to use combinations.

Be sure not to overlook the other subject matter in quant. The GMAT has way more questions on things like inequalities/number properties then it does on probability. Makse sure you're comfortable with these first.

You seem like you have a good outline drawn for yourself. Just stick to it, you'll be fine.

Good luck!
