Hi everyone!
Should I solve the same question several times?..
I am not a fan of it because I think that since I will partially remember the answer my brain will try to remember the answer instead of focusing on the problem.
Plus if I solve the same problem several times, I will remember the pattern and will try to search for that pattern and it is a very dangerous thing to do on GMAT.
Does it help the studies to solve the same problem several times?
Thank you!

Dear iliavko,
It doesn't matter whether you solve a question once or 10,000 times.
You won't be able to improve unless you truly understand the logic behind any question.
Remember GMAT is unlike our High School or Undergraduate School exams where cramming/solving n times could help.
I would suggest try to understand the reasoning or logic behind any question. If you know the logic well and good, else try to learn it and look for its variations or several other questions where that kind of logic has been used. This would actually help you master on GMAT.
Good Luck.

Short answer? Yes.
Repeat the question until you're confident you could teach a child how to do it--step by step, line by line. Then you'll be ready to move on.
