Hi,
I'm new here and looking for some advice. I have come across this forum and feel like this will be a great place to glean all the information I need to break 700.
A little background:
I am a 2nd year university philosophy student: strength's in analytics, verbal reasoning etc,
Major deficit in quant: I haven't studied maths since GCSE (16 years old; almost 5 years ago). Though I was good at math at that level.
I have subscribed to BTG''s daily quant question which has demonstrated that I am completely unable to approach the quant at this point. As a student, I can't afford tutors, I have committed to self study. I have the official GMAT guide and will get some strategy books as well.
Assuming total ignorance to maths, do you guys have any advice on how or where to start? I began by trying to teach myself 'maths' but have decided that though the two clearly converge, committing time to pure maths feels ineffective.
Does anyone have any advice with regards to how to approach this from the bottom up? Any specific text books? Perhaps approach's that worked for you? Anything would be welcome.
To illustrate where I am at: I planned to use the daily questions to illuminate which topics I should cover each week. I cant even classify what type of maths or quant approach that any given question entails.
That said, I have time on my hands and a studious environment to my credit. Hopefully this will be a resource which enables me to succeed.
