Hello Everyone!

I took the GMAT 3 months ago and I got 380. At the time I was very disapointed but now I know that I didn't have the best strategy to study.

I studied Business Administration, I have 3 years of experience in marketing (Pharmaceutical Industry) and I want to go to the Jhon Molson School of Business which is the BSchool of Concordia University (Montreal, Canada). I'm going to do a Msc in Administration focusing in Marketing.

I've never been good in math, I'm more like a "verbal" person, so that's why I have to focus on Math first, then Verbal. I haven't set my next GMAT date, but let's say I will take the time I need to get a "decent" score, around 600. I really believe I will take the GMAT again in February 2010.

The Material I have:
1. Kaplan 2009 + CD
2. Princenton Review
3. OG 10th edition
4. Free GMAT flash cards from this site

Time to study:
1. Sep 2009: only saturdays and sundays
2. Oct 2009 to February 2010: 4hrs per day

Here my questions:
1. Should I start with a High School math book in order to understand the basics?
2. Which book/books do you recomend to get the basics in every single thing GMAT is testing in the math section?
2. Should I mix the subjects while studying or subject by subjetc.. for example, first Algebra, then Geometry, then... etc

I've read post from Eric and other experts here, but I really don't want to waste my time and money again by studying with the wrong strategy, so...



Could someone please help me to build a good strategy in order to beat the GMAT?

You have to do what works for you.
There are also a ton of online prep courses out there that are prety good.

I think the OG volumes cover math basics very well. The problems do not get really hard until after #50 or so. I would start there. Everything you need is in the beginning of the book for those problems, once you feel comfortable, start learning problems in increments of 50 as they go up in difficulty. Make sure you can explain to yourself why each problem solves the way it does. Learn to do them correctly, then work on speed. And do not move on to the next set of 50 until you have done the current set of 50 several times and are only missing (or looking up the answer or a step) no more than 1 out of 10

Answers:
1.) No. You graduated from high school.
2.) OG only
3.) No. There's ''only'' 2 Geometry problems on the GMAT. The impact is immaterial.

MY suggestion-
1.) Spend less time on this website. Your in a different level and the majority of users on this site are 600-700 level test takers.
2.) Download PowerPrep - free exams made by the ETS. Makes studying OG problems easy and timed.
3.) Download GMAT Prep. and re-do the same test a month later. then reinstall and download again after 2-3 month to obtain new questions.
4.) Dont listen to anyone who works for Kaplan.
