What to Focus On

  • Questions test reasoning ability, not calculation skills
  • Focus on sufficiency of data, not actual problem solving
  • Standard format: Question + Statement 1 + Statement 2 + Options

  • Option A: Statement 1 alone sufficient, Statement 2 alone not sufficient
  • Option B: Statement 2 alone sufficient, Statement 1 alone not sufficient
  • Option C: Both statements together sufficient, neither alone sufficient

  • No general knowledge assumptions allowed (except universal mathematical facts)
  • Answer must be unique - multiple solutions mean insufficient data
  • Don't get caught up in actual calculations - focus on sufficiency

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If I can calculate the answer using the given statements, then the data is sufficient

General knowledge and common assumptions can be used to solve DS questions

If both statements give the same answer individually, then either statement alone is sufficient
