In DS, beware of "exceptions".
Q. Is X positive?(1) |X| = X.
Because of the exception "X = 0" case, this statement is insufficient.
In DS, when you are able to solve "too easily", you are probably missing a trap.
Q. Which integer is the highest common factor of four positive integers A, B, C, and D?(1) A= 27, B=49.
Unlike what many students will think, this statement is "Sufficient". Because no matter what "C" and "D" are, if HCF of "A" and "B" is 1, the answer is going to be "1".
In DS, "combine" the two statements only when each statement fails alone.
Q. If X is an integer, is X a multiple of 12?(1) Two of the factors of X are 5 and 7.(2) X is a product of two odd integers.
The answer is not C. The answer is B.

Answer choices with "moderate" tonality have a higher probability of being correct.
Do not chase "tricks/tips/shortcuts". Chase "concepts"!
Do not chase "scores"; chase "learning". Scores will follow.

Approach for solving SCs:
1. Read the mother sentence.2. For underlined part, move to answer choices.3. Compare vertically to observe the difference in the choices.4. Eliminate 4 choices through vertical comparison while reading horizontally.5. Read the sentence end-to-end before marking an answer choice.
