Hi Everyone,

I'm very new to this website and forum and was hoping I could get some help on finding books, websites, or references to help me relearn stats, permutation, and combination problems. I am especially terrible at stats so I need to relearn the basics before I even start diving into GMAT questions. Most books I've seen are far too detailed. Can anyone recommend something to me?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Hi Piper! Welcome to the website... if you peruse the website you'll see a lot of people referencing the Manhattan GMAT study guides found here:

I can't speak to these 100% yet (personally) because I actually start my in-person class next week. But I have gone through the number properties book so that I could make notecards...

Best of Luck!

I personally found the Math Tutor DVDs quite helpful.

Link: https://www.mathtutordvd.com/products/item26.cfm

The sections go through the concepts in details and end with 1-2 problems. Go through sections 1-5 in the DVD and then start practicising problems from other sources.
