How to strengthen Inequality skills?

What is the best way to develop a strong grip on inequalities within a week? Is there any specific book or notes or question bank that needs to be taken up?

You need to know 2 techniques.

1. if x - y > 0 then x > y.

2. You need to know how to add inequalities.

I do have a session on inequalities with additional practice problems. I am an online GMAT math coach. You can find out more from my website in my signature.

The two things that are tested most in inequalities is if you know when to flip the inequalities signs (e.g. abs value, or mult/dividing by -ve sign), also there are many problems where they ask what is the least number x if y>blah blah, and for those you have to make the correct assumption and move forward. this is very tricky compared to equality where you have a definite answer, and it can be annoying. but i've been practicing these and seeing patterns for this question type. i think it comes with practice, haven't quite figured these out myself.
