What this tells you: course of action

• First priority: Data Interpretation, about 61% of the questions.
• Keep in rotation: Number Series, Data Sufficiency and Quadratic Equations, a steady 32% that rewards regular practice once the first group feels comfortable.
• Save for the end: 2 one-question topics (6% together). Skim them last rather than building long study blocks around them.

• Pie chart degrees to percentage: \( \%=\dfrac{\theta}{360}\times100 \)
• Roots of \( ax^{2}+bx+c=0 \): \( x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a} \)
