In DS, beware of "exceptions".
Q. Is X positive?
(1) |X| = X.
Because of the exception "X = 0" case, this statement is insufficient.

On the GMAT, ensure 'completing' each section.- "no attempts" attract greater penalty than "negative attempts" do.
In DS, an answer is achieved only when the answer is "consistent".
Q. Is X a multiple of 24?
(1) X is a multiple of 6.
(2) X is a multiple of 4.
X = 24 satisfies both (1) and (2), leads to "Yes".
X = 12 satisfies both (1) and (2), leads to "No".
"Inconsistent". Hence, insufficient. Answer is E.
If it really comes down to "guessing" on the GMAT...- On SCs, go for the "shortest" choices.- On RCs and CRs, go for the "longest" choices.- On DS, go for "C".

Do not chase "scores", chase "learning". Scores will follow.

On the verbal section, be cautious when you see an answer choice with "extreme" emotion.
Answer choices with "moderate" tonality have a higher probability of being correct.
