strategy for Quant solicited.

by sachindia » Thu Aug 30, 2012 12:32 am
Hi Experts,

I am able to understand almost all the solutions to the tough gmat prep Quant questions but I don't by myself get that way of thinking to solve the quant prob.

Do you think I am weak in Quant and solving Manhattan strategy books will help? or shall I just keep on practising the tough questions by looking at the soln if I am unable to solve it?

Please guide me.
Regards,
Sach

The OG typically provides longer, often algebraic solutions, when many GMAT math questions can be solved using a variety of faster approaches (elimination, plugging in numbers, estimation, etc.).

So, while it's a great resource, you may want to find some materials that teach you the various approaches.

Cheers,
Brent

Hi everybody !

I am facing the exact same problem! I just took my first GMAT Prep CAT test today and scored 540 (Q: 29 and V:35). I really need to improve in quant... I am studying for two months now, using Kaplan Premier, OG 13th and the Manhattan Books.
I plan on scheduling the test for mid-October (I only need a 600 to be automatically admitted in the program of my choice).

Do you know any other material/resource I could use to improve my score ?

Thank you!
