How to approach Maths PS

by mna123 » Wed May 28, 2008 3:17 pm
Okay, I plan to take GMAT in a year(No hurries on my part).

I have always been good in maths(always A) and had an engineering major.

Now I have not done these sort of questions for last 5/6 years.

I know most of the basics but not tricks I guess.

When I see a problem casually, it seems hard and but when I see a solution, it seems so easy and I grab it in just few seconds with all the tricks.

Can some one tell me how to approach maths section preparation with such mentality.

Should I go via first review books and then push me to solve the problems or what :-(

Hi,

My advice is to take a look at prep programs and study materials from various companies and see which one looks right for you. I was a math major in college, as well as an SAT tutor, but I still found the tricks very helpful in preparing for the GMAT! A big part of success on the test is familiarity with the types of problems. Having a strategy for each type of problem makes them go much more quickly.

Best wishes,

Tatiana
