A lot of the people here are foreign. It's no surprise they'll be better than the average American. Chinese elementary schools, for instance, start teaching Algebra at least as early as second grade. Most kids here at that age can barely read.

I dont think it is a fruitful exercise to compare yourself with others :( . If you hace ascertained your target GMAT score, you should work towards it. If you have been spending time without progress, you might have to relook at the study approach. Think on those lines...And remember GMAT is only one part of you app process..Schools will not deny your application if you are great material otherwise...

We are here to help you. We have experts on this forum who can guide you.

I totally agree, but I was just wondering if I am not good as others on this site because, either most have learned this before and I haven't, or maybe I am just stupid..........

Most people who are doing well with the math did learn most or all of this once already in high school or college - so don't compare yourself to them! They're re-learning it, not learning it for the first time. Even among the U.S. contingent here, there are a lot of people with engineering, science, and math backgrounds, so they did learn a lot of this stuff in school.

Yes I think most of us here already know it and are REVISING /brushing up. but believe me it goes as tough as to anybody , since GMAT is an CAT (Adaptive test) and it's very very difficult to score 50/51 even to math expert.

& it has nothing to do with demographics.
American/ international jazz: doesn't apply/affect (not at least in quant area)

how about scoring from a 45-47. Do you need to be a math whiz to do that?

45-47 in quant corresponds to about the low 80s percentile-wise. So you have to be better than 80% of the GMAT-test-taking population.

I don't consider myself a math whiz, but I usually pull at least a 49 in math. It's a bit less common for me to get 50 or 51.
