If you’ve watched my video on the Hardest GMAT Quant Questions, you know that Number Properties appears most often in the toughest GMAT math problems. But coming in close behind are Permutations, Combinations, and Probability — topics that show up often in advanced GMAT Quant and trip up even strong test takers.

In this video, you’ll learn why sometimes a little brute-force reasoning can actually help you solve the most complex GMAT counting problems. We’ll talk about when and how to apply this approach strategically so you can move faster, avoid traps, and get unstuck. You’ll see how this applies to GMAT Permutations, GMAT Combinations, and GMAT Probability questions — and how to spot when structured formulas won’t get you to the right answer efficiently.

Whether you’re studying for the GMAT, targeting a 705+ GMAT score, or just trying to master high-difficulty GMAT math questions, this walkthrough will help you build better intuition and solve faster on test day.
