GMAT VERBAL - Topical Workshop

GMAT Combinatorics Workshop -
Probability, Permutations, Combinations

Recent trends indicate that descriptive statistics, combinations & permutations, and probability have grown increasingly more important on the GMAT, especially for those students determined to score high on the quantitative side of the test. Our one day course focuses entirely on these topics and the challenging problems that flow from them in both the Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency formats.

Comprehensive coverage of descriptive statistics, permutations & combinations, and probability will be provided at a level appropriate for the GMAT. Course material will be GMAT specific. The basic concepts will be presented in a manner that facilitates easy understanding and a seamless entry to the more advanced content.

Some students may have previously encountered some or all of descriptive statistics, combinations & permutations, and probability in high school (Finite Mathematics) or at university (introductory Statistics courses). However, no previous familiarity with these topics will be expected of students.
