Do you miss too many overlapping sets questions on the GMAT or Executive Assessment? Do you get trapped by the language? Or do you get confused when you have to choose between using a table, Venn diagrams, or an equation?
In this video, Charles -- a GMAT Ninja tutor with a perfect 800 GMAT score -- will show you how to think about overlapping sets questions efficiently and effectively. He'll help you build a consistent process for approaching these questions, and he'll help you understand that the skills behind “hard” EA and GMAT overlapping sets questions are actually pretty basic -- and the exam just gives these questions an intimidating illusion of complexity.
This video covers a wide range of difficulty levels. While the first few questions cover the fundamental skills you'll need to solve an overlapping sets question, Charles tries to throw every possible wrinkle into the final few questions to challenge everyone, even if you're aiming for a 50 or 51 on the GMAT quant section.
