You can be a god at maths and still fail the maths questions.
A more structured approach would be to study the practise test and delineate from that how best to tackle it.
From my own musing and cross referencing the answers on-line, i.e seeing what the community had to say about them, the main point seems to be details.
Make sure you read the question
x and y...the old, soldiers
and officers question...
For example, in a group of X and Y, how many Y are there. This may seem to be a straightforward archetype of a question but many people fail to take into account the WHOLE and thus would fail the question. The question is NOT : How many y would there be if there was a group of 10 x (How many X are there if 9y = x)
In short just read every question and ask your self two questions
What is this question asking me?
What is this question NOT asking me?
Also, I have not taken the cfat yet, this is all mere thought-experiment....but a thought experiment that may just save your life...
