Hi folks!
Any help here would be great - I have about 2 months before I need to take the GMAT. I do not come from a strong math background, I am more of a launguages/communications person. Math terrorizes me... Any help/guidance on best ways to attack this problem would be great.
Appreciate all the help!
Thanks!
Reshma

Use the 5 MGMAT guides. They deal with GMAT with a view to addressing those with weak math but you will learn a lot. and a lot of practice.
Also, just to give you some confidence, GMAT math cannot kill you. You will do well.
All the best. And someone on the forum is always available to help.

For GMAT.
Data sufficiency questions are bit tricky and are very intelligently designed
Practice the DS questions more. visit BTG forum regularly.
Note:-
Many users post the CAT ( the Indian pre MBA admission test) questions here. For example- question of probability. Don't pay much attention to those questions. Stick to GMAT pattern only.
Key is to solve ample number of questions and analyze the questions that you were not able to solve correctly.

Also, don't be afraid to work on your fundamental algebra, geometry, and arithmetic the whole time you are preparing. Even when you have mastered those topics, you can still get faster and more confident.
