Skipping Permutation/Combination questions 10 Jan 2010, 09:52

It is really getting difficult for me to have a good grip on Permutation/Combination questions. Spent sometime on understanding the basics and though it is better than before, still not enough to solve GMAT level problems.

I have read in another forum and have been told by some 700+ scorers that it is not a bad idea to skip the questions totally if it is too time taking. I am targetting for taking the exam in end Feb and will be going for E-MBA (i.e. in the range of 40 yrs). What would the experts in this forum suggest if my aspiration is to score ~50 in quant?

You won't need it if you can get all the other questions correct. I rarely see someone score 50 in quant and can't get basic permutation/combination questions.
