Calculate Faster Than the Calculator. Save Precious Time.
The Unfair Advantage on the Quant Section
The Techniques We Teach
This isn’t about memorizing times tables. It’s about learning powerful techniques to simplify complex calculations on the fly.
1. Strategic Estimation & Approximation
Learn when an exact answer isn’t necessary. We’ll teach you how to intelligently round numbers to quickly eliminate answer choices and find the solution’s « ballpark, » often solving the problem in seconds.
2. Lightning-Fast Percentages
Never get stuck on percentage problems again. Master techniques for finding 10%, 1%, 50%, and 25% of any number instantly, and then combine them to calculate any percentage with ease.
3. Multiplication & Division Hacks
Doubling and Halving: A simple trick to make complex multiplications easy.
Factorization: Break down large numbers to simplify division and multiplication.

Why This Is a Game-Changer
Every second you save on an easy or medium question is a second you can invest in a hard, high-value question. Mental math isn’t a « nice-to-have » skill; it’s a core component of effective time management. By building your calculation speed, you reduce mental fatigue, lower your chance of making a careless error on the calculator, and approach the entire Quant section with more confidence and control.
