Do you know the fundamentals of GMAT or Executive Assessment rates questions, but struggle when they twist the question into something slightly different? Are you are intimidated by anything other than straightforward rate problems?

In this video, Bransen -- a GMAT Ninja tutor -- will show you how to think about rates questions efficiently and effectively. He'll help you build a consistent process for approaching rates questions, and he'll help you understand that the skills behind “hard” EA and GMAT rates questions are actually pretty basic -- and the exam just gives these questions an intimidating illusion of complexity.

This video covers a wide range of difficulty levels. While the first few questions cover the fundamental skills you'll need to solve a rates question, the last few questions could challenge anyone who isn't already scoring in the high 40s in the quant section.
