How Dan Does The GMAT
With tricky geometry problems, always draw the figure to scale as much as possible, and remember that every issue reverts back to your basic geometric rules. Arc RTU is what fraction of the total circumference here?
With probability, use slots to represent each of the picks you will be making. Lable what you want to happen, and then fill in the appropriate probability of that happening, How many envelopes need to match their correct or incorrect addresses here?
With mixture problems, you don’t need to juggle two different substances at the same time. Pick one of them! If Bob’s ideal ethanol mix is 10% ethanol, how far does that land comparatively between the two things he’s mixing?
Similarly, if cars and trucks combined for a 1% revenue gain, how does that revenue change land comparatively between that of trucks and that of cars?
GMAT
Over my years of tutoring I’ve developed a proprietary approach to mastering the content of the GMAT and GRE. I treat this like it’s a subject in school and I simply teach you how to do every type of problem. I like to structure the lessons by topic (geometry, probability, divisibility, etc), where we sit and absolutely smother a topic from every angle. I can do this is any order or with any intensity you need, but I typically cover the GMAT Quantitative in this order, each of these being a one hour session:
Divisibility and Number Properties
• Work Rate
• Distance Rate
• Exponents
• Combinatorics
• Probability
• Geometry
• Coordinate Geometry
• Absolute Value and Inequalities, Sequences
• Statistics, Functions
• Overlapping Sets and Mixture Problems
• Algebra
And I believe the GMAT verbal material can be covered efficiently in just a few sessions, such as this:
• Critical Reasoning- weaken, assumption, strengthen
• Critical Reasoning- Inference, Bold Face, Evaluate the Argument, Paradox
• Sentence Correction – workout 1 (I’m happy to explain)
• Sentence Correction – workout 2
• Reading Comprehension
Again, I do this for a living so I can do anything you need, economize the lessons, work on integrated reasoning or the essay, etc. Just ask!
