Hi everyone,
I'm looking at doing an MBA and have no real clue where to start in terms of studying for the GMAT. I'm 35 years old, have been working for 13 years and haven't touched a book since 1997.
Being a native speaker, I assumed the English section would be ok but having just looked at the questions, I have been proven wrong. I don’t think I ever learned the basic grammar of English.
I'm a bit overwhelmed and really stressed out over it as it's clear I've forgotten almost all my basic knowledge of math. It was one of my best subjects all through school and college but I have not retained the information. Even multiplying fractions is something I have not done in over 25 years.
Is there anyone out there with the same issue? Could you advise on where to start and what I need to do to get my knowledge back up there? The GMAT books are specific for the GMAT and dont really explain the basic rules which is something I seriously need a refresher in.
I have become very successful in my career. Schools have already expressed interest in me due to my level of work experience BUT I find myself beaten before I have even started with this GMAT. My frustration is not motivating me.
Additionally I live in a non English speaking country with no resources around to seek advice from or tutoring!!
Please help...........I certainly need it if I am to be successful.
