Can you tell us a bit more about what you've completed during your month of studying? At some point, you'll want to have completed a curriculum designed to provide a strong conceptual foundation. Shop around to find material that's compatible with your learning style.

Hi parask03,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you're looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?

Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi parask03,

To help provide some specific advice, I would like to learn to more about your GMAT experience and MBA goals. I have a few questions:

1) What is your GMAT score goal?

2) Describe your study routine. For how many hours a day have you been studying? What resources have you been using for your prep?

3) Have you taken any official MBA.com exams? If so, can you provide us with the dates and score breakdowns of those practice exams? When you took the practice tests, did you take them under realistic conditions (e.g. in a quiet environment, no extended breaks)?

4) To what schools do you plan to apply?

5) What deadlines are you targeting?

6) When is the date of your GMAT?

I'd start with the GMAT quant diagnostic on mba.com: see if that can tell you a little more about the topics in which you're weak. If you're struggling with the first steps, look for a good free algebra or arithmetic refresher online: there are SO MANY of them out there, since so many people have the same problem, never fear! It should be easy to find one you like.
