Data sufficiency tutorial

Last updated: 13 Oct 2008

Data sufficiency questions account for about 1/3, i.e. 12 to 13, of the questions in the quantitative section.

These questions are about working out what is necessary and sufficient data to be able to answer a question which is very different from the usual problems solving questions you have faced.

Once you are familiar with the format then this will make complete sense.

In this tutorial we will look at the key strategies for tackling data sufficiency questions and work through some examples of standard 'tricks' that are used to catch you out in this type of question.

You are expected to have completed the fractions, exponents, ratios and percents, geometry and properties of numbers tutorials before starting this tutorial.
