Thanks for the reply gentlemen.
Rich,
1) My goal score is 700+. I refuse to settle for anything less.
2) I plan to take the GMAT the May/June timeframe.
3) I want to apply to business school upon returning to the states. (Army officer, stationed in korea right now)
4) I want to apply to Kelly school of business or University of Texas, DFW (McCombs School of Business).
My issue right now is that when I took the diagnostic, I did terrible!! I mean, I barely got a few questions right. I have been out of school since 2008 and I have not done any math since 2005. Artillery math does not count. My major was in international relations and I have a plenty of military experience. however, I am very very nervous about the quant. I am comfortable with verbal, so I am going to work extra hard on that and I am capable of getting a strong score in that.
However, quantitative is the goliath. I am working on my basic math skills (fractions/decimals) on
www.khanacademy.org.
I tried to use the math strategy guides from MGMAT but they are not making much sense since the foundation is weak. the verbal guides are ok.
I am working on verbal in OG 13th edition with the MGMAT study guides.
My plan of action is simple:
study for the verbal in the mornings with the study guides.
do simple math problems on khanacademy until I get comfortable enough to tackle the quant problems in the OG. Since there are only so many real, gmat problems, I don't want to waste any on "practice" when I can't even do basic probability problems.
I find this task daunting since my background is weak compared to most others on this site who are engineering/business majors and far ahead of simple guys like me.
Thoughts?
