We all know that speed is distance travelled by time taken. The problems of speed usually involves something or someone moving at a constant or average speed, and out of the three quantities (speed/distance/time), we are required to find out the missing one. However information regarding the other two will be provided in the question…
Backsolving is a strategic approach to solve quantitative reasoning questions that are composed of numerical value answer options (and not variables). This is a particularly useful strategy since many such questions on GMAT, GRE and SAT arrange these answer options in ascending or descending order, As a result, the number of tries needed to get…
Plugging in values when there are unknowns in the questions or the answer options is a fairly straightforward strategy that can help you navigate high-complexity questions on the GRE and GMAT Quant sections. Especially those that can send you into a spiral by making you solve complex algebraic equations. The premise of plugging in values…

One of the biggest reasons people decide to stop preparing for a test or examination is they lose their motivation to learn and that they stop finding the learning experience enjoyable. To make learning enjoyable, it definitely helps if motivation is more intrinsic (curiosity, search for solutions to a problem etc..) than extrinsic (career growth, bonus,…
On GMAT and GRE, the problem solving question can get quite tricky. They could trap you putting you on a loop of time-wasting calculations, or sending you on a spiral with the increasingly complicated computation steps. To avoid these traps, it is essential to use a strategic approach to solve these tricky problem solving question…
Did you know that the best way to learn new words is to use them in every day contexts? This works only if you use it correctly of course! 😉 If you are preparing for the GRE, IELTS or any of the other similar competitive exams, then chances are that you most likely will have…
