Question about doing math destroyer

If I don't understand how to do a question, do I just memorize the type of question and how to solve i?. These probability type questions are driving me insane!

Well memorizing doesn't really work for QR, but I would suggest knowing and understanding the steps in how to tackle a probability question then practice it. Now if you think it's impossible to understand it, then I suppose memorizing the method and knowing what to plug in would be sufficient as well.

I did the first test in math destroyer. Out of 40 questions, there were probably around only 15-20 that I knew how to do without looking back at the solutions. This isn't too bad right? LOL. The other 20-25 questions, I had no idea how to start so I had to look up the solutions and understand them. However, not all the explanations made sense to me.

I knew only about half when I first did Math Destroyer as well. Much like the PAT (well any section of the DAT really), practice makes perfect. Once you understand how to do most of them, then time will become a huge issue. And once you can recall how to do a problem quickly, then time will not be a problem anymore. So to me, math destroyer was a 3-step process. Step 1: What equation/topic does this problem come from? Step 2: Apply the equation/relevant information to the problem. Step 3: Get to Step 2 faster. From all I've heard, Math Destroyer is great because it helps build upon your existing math knowledge, helps you recall things quickly, and thus builds speed and accuracy.
