Speed Trick or Vedic Shortcut

A simple trick to remember XXXVII Roman Numeral: Always look for groups of 10s (X), add 5 if you see V, then count each I separately. For example, in XXXVII, see three X’s (30), a V (5), and two I’s (2): 30 + 5 + 2 = 37.

Exam Tip: For MCQs, quickly scan for the repetition of letters. X repeated thrice (XXX = 30), VI or VII always means 6 or 7 added at the end.
