Greetings - requesting guidance with my strategy.
A bit of background. Young male from Washington, D.C. received 600 on math portion of SAT I ( 70% range)and a 630 on Verbal (74% range) Business major undergrad (BC)
GMAT Practice Test
Q - 27 (20%)
V - 34 (72%)
Total - 520
* I know I can do better in math. I THINK I just need to refresh my knowledge of basic concepts of math and to LEARN the test. Verbal seems pretty much in line with what I would normally do (compared to SAT, if you can do that) BUT question to everyone is what are my odds for the math?
Thanks for the help

The good news for you is that GMAT quant performance tends to be easier to improve than GMAT verbal. I personally think that you have a very good shot of improving your math subscore and your overall GMAT score.
If you need to start from the fundamentals, I recommend reviewing the Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook first. Nice overview of the basics.
And don't hesitate to ask questions as you progress in your prep! This community is here to help!
All the best,
Eric

One more follow up--as you get into your prep and begin to practice questions, be sure to study this post: https://www.beatthegmat.com/gmat-practic ... s-t68.html
That post outlines a methodology for approaching your practice problem sets, which I think will do a lot for improving your quant score. If done correctly, this approach will help you identify your weak areas and improve upon them tactically.
Good luck!

Unfortunately there isn't a 'typical' points swing--it is very much dependent on the individual and how effective he/she is with prep.
I encourage you to read some of the stories in the I just Beat The GMAT forum. You can see a variety of improvement stories there as well as read tips on how these extraordinary people went about their prep.
With regard to your case, improving your score is definitely possible--but honestly, I think that 100+ improvement is a reach.
