I took the GMAT and ended up with a 90th percentile in verbal and a 54% in quant. Throughout my Kaplan Course I was consistently scoring in the 95, 97 and 99th percentile in the Verbal sections on my CATS while maintaining a low 50th percentile in the quant sections. I'd like to retake the GMAT in November and am looking for a Quant only study program/course/tutor. Suggestions?

What books/materials did you use the first time?

You should probably start with the OG Quant and the Kaplan Workbook, and then move onto the MGMAT Number Properties and maybe MGMAT Advanced.

I'd also suggest starting immediately on an Error Log and reviewing all of your old incorrect questions. You need to hone in on the concepts you're weakest at so you can begin to attack them.

Here on BTG is posted some helpful material for formulating a Math study plan: https://www.beatthegmat.com/are-you-weak ... e-t80.html

This site will also break down for you most of the GMAT concepts: https://www.mathsteacher.com.au/year10.htm

And of course GMAT Club's very easy-to-follow Math book: https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-math-book-87417.html

Good luck! :-)
