Let’s begin by considering
how Data Sufficiency differs from Problem Solving, the other math question
type. Problem Solving questions are in a format that you probably dealt
with in school; multiple choice, and each answer choice represents a different
possible answer to the question.
Data Sufficiency questions
are also multiple choice, but their format is quite different from Problem
Solving, and just as importantly, is far less familiar.
Data Sufficiency is unique
to the Exam; this question type does not appear on any other standardized
test and you’ve probably never seen it before. It is also a fixed format
math question type, that is, the answer choices are always the same! This
format provides us with several methods and strategies that are specific

day, it’s important that you manage them well! We’ll show you how to tackle
these questions and win. Let’s get started.
