HELP/ADVICE on GMAT and Prep

by Eklipz » Sun Apr 06, 2008 3:39 pm
Hey there
im 18, quiet young, but still thinking ahead...
I live in the UK and am going to University for Accounting and Finance. I would like to leave Uni on 2:1 or a First and do a MSc...
I know to get on my MSc course, i would have to take the GMAT test which ive tried to research into
The MSc course requirement for my desired course is a GMAT socre of 650 or so, and the average is 666 or some thing

now as I am doing my A'levels (final year), studying Chemistry, Biology and History and have not taken Maths. My concern is the GMAT has a big mathematical side..

Would I be able to pull it off with out any higher math background with sufficient studying material?

thanks

Hi Eklipz:

Wow, you are really ahead of the curve! The GMAT was the last thing on my mind when I was 18. :)

The good news is that the math featured on the GMAT consists of subjects you would study in the early part of highschool: mainly arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and a few advanced subjects like number theory/combinations/permutations.

College-level math is not tested on the GMAT. With sufficient math prep using some good textbooks you should be in good shape.

All the best,

well I am in sixth form..sixth form is the final 2 years of high school...where we do A levels and then go to college (uni)...

but i didnt take Math as an a'level although i did do it prior to A'levels for my GCSE's...

I was just wondering with the right materials, would I be able to get a socre of 650 or above? because im not the best mathematically
