Free GMAT Prep Hour: Working Backwards with Quant Multiple Choice

Join instructor Whitney Garner for another installment of Quant strategy lessons, this time on a far underused set of strategies known as Working Backwards. Many of us learned math in school and the expectation was that we would come up with the answer and write it out for our teachers. However, the presence of multiple choice answers unlocks a TON of amazing (and efficient) strategies for test day. This lesson walks through the couple of common ways that we can use answer choices on test day: plugging them in to the question directly and using them to benchmark or estimate off of as we solve. Together we'll practice these strategies on a ton of questions and see how to learn to recognize when these strategies are applicable. **Note that there is a typo in the answer choices for question 1 originally - these are fixed when we return to that question at the 30 minute mark, but the correct answers should be $1, $3, $4, $5, and $6.** Never miss a session!
