I assume that you're refering to the PST? The PST is somewhat similar to the Integrated Reasoning (IR) section of the GMAT. I would also recommend looking at strategies for the Critical Reasoning (CR) section of the GMAT - there are some good approached to identifying and then tackling questions designed to test your logical thinking.

Hi,

Unfortunately, you've spent all the cases:(

Usually, I suggest the following:

Do one full case from the mck website in 60 min. Check your score. Target score is 22 out of 26 correct. If you do 17-18 correct you have great chances to improve it quite fast. If lower - it will take a couple of months

If your score is high:

  • Buy Viktor Cheng test prep program - best materials I've seen so far. Works also for express prep.
  • Practice your math. Check exercises on Cheng website. Key things - multiplication of 2 digit numbers, operations with zeros and division (Learn division table, ie. 1/8 = 12.5%, 8/9 = 88%, Learn up to 8/9)
  • Do the 2nd test and check the score

If your score is low you need fundamental prep:

  • GMAT IR, quant and verbal parts
  • PST-like tests available online

Best,

Vlad
