Section Strategies

Problem Solving Questions

Familiarize yourself with the rules and concepts of arithmetic and algebra.
For questions that require approximations, skim answer choices first. If you are unable to get some idea of how close the approximation should be, you may waste time on long computations when a short mental process would serve you better.
Take advantage of your whiteboard. Solving problems in writing may help you avoid errors. Make sure you understand how the whiteboard will work on test day.
