Wow...just finished taking the 1st practice test from the GMATprep software and BOMBED it! Thank god it was only a practice :? Well, now that I know my quant is in need to of serious work, I'm ready to get started. I'm putting together my study calender and schedule now and will get started tomorrow. I'll def be checking in to this site daily for tips as well as converse with others studying for the GMAT.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for books that teach quant pretty well? I've bought the OG11, Kaplan and cracking thr GMAT. I'd like to get a book that goes over the basics of quant to get me up to speed. It's been years since I've taken a math course.

Any help would be appreciated!

Books are merely guides for study. Practice can teach. Work the problems over and over and over again. If you miss one, find out WHY and learn from your mistake. If you get one right, make sure it was by true knowledge and not by blind luck.

Understanding concepts is SO much more valuable than knowing how to beat a practice test.

Keep studying, hard.
The first tests are always scary when you get your score.
I would spend 10hrs a week for 3 months, on OC, Princeton, and one other guide. Allow a month to do solid tests as if it was live, even the writing part.
If you log in 250 hours of serious studying, you will get around 550 at the very least.
No guarantees but that seems to me the formula for at least, a good score.

HI cha cha,
don't let down..
take it as agift, because this will show you yoyur weaknesses, study them first and try to find teh main key for every single mistake , so you will avoid falling on it next time.
Focus first on the OG, it's the main source of all preparation. and keep on taking test every week after finishing all OG exercices .
good luck!

Manhattan series + OG = success. If you really need the basic math review then I can recommend cliff notes math review for standardized tests.

goodluck

I would also add that you should get some sort of non-GMAT related algebra workbook to practice your basic math, outside the context of the GMAT. It sounds like you need a more serious math review than the prep guides provide. Study without the GMAT first, then add the complexity of GMAT questions on a bit later.

You might even want to consider taking a basic college math class at a local community college - much cheaper than a GMAT prep class, and probably just as valuable for you at this point!
