Day 1 of 60

by rickywoodie » Thu Nov 07, 2013 12:36 pm
I just completed the math diagnostic test in the Official Guide for GMAT Review, 13th Edition (p. 20-26), and had troubles answering all of the questions. Is this common? I did well in all of my math classes (high school and college), but don't remember how to solve these problems. Should I be concerned already? Should I continue the 60 study guide or look at taking classes instead? I plan on taking the GMAT in early January.

The diagnostic test is a killer. Don't worry too much about it. The test is meant to familiarize you with the types of questions found on the GMAT and give you a very approximate idea of your current skills.

Later on, you'll retake the Diagnostic test to help gauge your improvement.

The resources used in the 60-Day Study Guide cover everything you need to ace the GMAT, so I don't think it's necessary to change anything.

Keep in mind that this is just Day 1. So, don't dwell too much on the results of this test. A high score is still achievable.

Cheers,
Brent
