GMAT Math is Hard, But No One is “Bad at Math”
Too often, students convince themselves that they are “just not math people.” As a result, these students often score significantly lower on the GMAT than they would have if they had revised their way of thinking about how math skills are gained. If such students instead believed in the power of hard work and perseverance in gaining math proficiency, as nearly all experts who study math education do, these students could set themselves up for higher GMAT scores, more impressive degrees, and higher-paying jobs.
The biggest secret about GMAT math is that anyone can master it, if that person is willing to put in the work.
There are 3 simple steps that you can take to excel at GMAT math:
- Eliminate negative self-talk
