Hello all
I took the GMAT yesterday and did not score as high as i expected becasuse i was not too fast. I need some more practice. I used the official study guide and went through all the questions.

I want a maths (advanced or additional) book to help me practice. I was stumped on some questions. I need a book that will cover the core topics of the Quantitative section. I do not want a GMAT study guide, i want a maths book that will cover algebra, geomatry, arithmetics etc. the difficulty should be similar to the most difficult questions on the gmat.

I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME OUT. I gained some experience from the OG but i need a proper book now.

Thanks

For the basics, check out the Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook.

Here's my book recommendations: https://www.beatthegmat.com/books.html

In that section, you don't give the Kaplan Math Workbook a particularly favorable review. Would it be good for the basic concepts of quantitative problem solving? I took the Kaplan practice GMAT a couple of weeks ago and performed abysmally on the quantitative section because I do not understand the basics of the questions. I will definitely get the OG for practice when I have a batter grasp of the basic fundamentals, but at this point, I need the best possible concept-based assistance.

If you're looking to build your fundamental math skills, this is actually a decent book. I didn't like it too much personally just because I was a little more advanced with math and the book felt a little more rudimentary.

But if you've been away from this kind of math for a while, it's a good read.

The New EZ Solutions Book(Excellent Math content)

Hi,

I just came to know about the EZ solutions Math review books and bought it online. I find the content excellent and thorough. Only disadvantage is you got to buy a set of 9 book otherwise it is more than enough for your math review.

Check it out !!! It is great !!

Thanks,
Mohamed

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
