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,

"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."
