Students must apply their mathematical skills to convoluted word problems that test their ability to read clearly, interpret quickly, and determine the optimal plan of attack. Most importantly, they must be ready for the typical tricks and traps that the test writers use over and over again to snag unsuspecting students. This publication presents the hardest, trickiest, most convoluted word problems you are likely to see on the SAT, GRE, and GMAT - and shows you how to tackle each one quickly and confidently. We will test your knowledge (and speed) for every topic from addition to probability, including all of those annoying word problems involving mixtures, age, rates, and geometry. Use this book to fill in the gaps- and to find creative ways to solve "killer" problems without breaking a sweat. To ace a standardized test, you will need to conquer math word problems. If you want a top score, this book can help. |
