Do some number properties questions on the GMAT or Executive Assessment make you feel like you're trying to nail jello to the wall? Do you struggle to see the pattern and get these questions started?
In this video, Alex -- a GMAT Ninja tutor -- will help you understand what to look for in a number properties question. He'll explore some of the patterns buried in these questions, and will show you how to identify the familiar, number properties concepts hiding beneath the surface.
Broadly speaking, this video will cover the exact same number properties content as the previous video, but the questions are more challenging. They weave familiar number properties concepts into more complicated scenarios, such as word problems, sequences, sums, and factorials.
