There is generally an INVERSE relationship between accuracy on a GMAT problem and time spend on that problem. Math, SC. Can not do in 1-2 minute, extra 1-2 not help. Except for RC and CT. 2."Strategic Guessing" is the key to meeting timing "BENCHMARKS" without compromising your test performance. Strategic guessing. 1.DS. -Find the easier statement. Use this statement to eliminate choices AD or BD(or Occasionally A,B,D) -Can the question be obviously answered using both statements together? Eliminate answer choice E. -Look to see if the two statements give "parallel" pieces of information. If the do, you can generally eliminate answer choices A and B 2.PS. Estimate an answer without solving the problem; Eliminate any answer choices that are far from your estimate. ========== Problem Solving : 22 Strategic guessing: Maximum(Minimum), Paring, Estimation.
