In which order should I study the Quantitative MGMAT books?

by JGoode » Wed May 12, 2010 7:45 am
I've purchased all 5 Manhattan quant strategy books and am wondering whether I should study them in a specific order considering I haven't used these math concepts for about 4-5 years? My math skills are pretty average but nothing terrible; they just need considerable refreshing!

I'm planning on allocating 1 MGMAT book per week. I've already done Fractions, Decimals and Percents.

This is the order I want to study the remaining 4 books:

Week 1) Number Properties (now)
Week 2) Word Translations
Week 3) Geometry
Week 4) Equations, Inequalities and VICs (last)

Will this approach flow well for someone like me? Thanks

I think they're designed for you to go through in order. You definitely want to go through them in order because in some chapters they will reference things from a chapter in a previous guide.

Thanks for the post Osirus. I guess then I should reorder the listed I originally posted to:

Week 1) Number Properties (now)
<<<[Fractions, Decimals & Percent - already done!]>>>
Week 2) Equations, Inequalities and VICs
Week 3) Word Translations
Week 4) Geometry (last)

So does that list flow better? I wish I could judge but it's been so long since I did these concepts.

This is exactly why I am trying to find the best order.

Yeah, the order you have is the best order

1) Number Properties
2) Fractions Decimals
3) Equations Inequalities and Vics
4) Word Translations
5) Geometry

Try to spend the most time on Number Properties and Equations Inequalities and Vics. I think you will find those to be the most important. Good luck.

yes I like Osirus's chronology that's what I was going to suggest. Geometry should be last.
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.
