Quiz zum Vortrag
What should you do first when working on a problem solving question on the GMAT?
- Read the question briefly and cross-off every response on your scratch paper which cannot be the solution to the question. (crazy answers)
- Calculate the task as accurately as possible and ensure a clean computation.
- Work through at least 3 different calculation methods and compare the results.
- Check for hidden clues in the text.
What is your best tool for the GMAT Quantitative section?
- Paper Based Calculation
- The GMAT calculator
- Brainstorming
- Flash Cards
When can I apply “Plugging-In” in a problem solving question?
- If all answers are variables, percentages or ratios of an unspecified amount.
- Whenever the answer has only whole numbers (integers).
- Only if the question is of relatively medium difficulty.
- If all answers include fractions.
In how many ways can you arrange 5 books in a bookcase?
- 5! = 120
- 5
- 5x5 = 25
- 5 to the power of 5 = 3125
How do I calculate the range when the standard deviation and average (arithmetic mean) are given?
- Mean - standard deviation to mean + standard deviation
- Mean + standard deviation
- Mean - standard deviation
- You need the median to calculate the range.
If the "perimeter of a right isosceles triangle" is asked, what is meant?
- The sum of the lengths of all sides of a triangle with one 90° angle and two sides of equal length
- The length of the hypotenuse in a right angle triangle
- The sum of the adjacent side of a right triangle with two sides of equal length
- The area covered by a right triangle with two sides of equal length
