Best Basic Math iPhone Apps?

by Mister_Fox » Tue Jan 13, 2015 1:05 pm
Hi All,

Does anyone know the best apps for brushing up on my basic math skills (fractions, exponents, etc). I couldn't find any when I searched the forums, nor could I get the BeatTheGMAT App to download.

I'm not looking for apps with practice questions. All I could find in the store were some sub-par, kid-friendly multiplication apps.

Thank you!

Hi Mister_Fox,

If you're looking to get in some extra "math reps", then I'd suggest that you visit Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org); while this is not an App per se, you might be able to take advantage of it on your phone/pad/portable.

These aren't Math-only, but these were some of my fave GMAT apps last time I scoped 'em all out!

It's pricey, but worth it for the serious test-taker. Cost: $24.99.

2. MGMAT Flashcards - A free set of Verbal flashcards, with a nice emphasis on applying vocabulary rather than rote memorization. Cost: FREE.

Thank you Vivian. That is an awesome list of Apps. Should give me plenty of material to crank through until I take the test in April.

Only App I couldn't find was the Beat the GMAT one.
