Hello Everyone,
I am currently studying for the GMAT, aiming to score in the 90th percentile or higher.
I used to be excellent at math. However, I am now rusty as it's been over seven years since I've taken any kind of an extensive math class.
Additionally, I have a "learning disability." I'm not going to delve into it too much, since I've learned to deal with it throughout my life and I never request special attention for it on exams since I do not believe in it. All that means is that I have to be faster at doing calculations than "a regular" person is in order to compensate for it -- I have to get myself to the point where I am able to do calculations without having to think about it, and I do so by using shortcuts. I use some established ones, but developing personal ones works significantly better since they better cater to the way I think. Thus, the only way to develop these is through exhaustive trial & error and repetition, namely from drills.
While doing questions from this forum, the practice CAT exams, and the OG has helped significantly, I need to hone in on specific concepts on a far more fundamental level than a typical GMAT question (which uses a combination of concepts) allows me to.
I've been done all the Manhattan GMAT books and normally I would say that they are great. However, there are only 15 questions for each chapter/concept, which is not enough for me. Are there books/websites/misc. resources that are completely dedicated to drills that specifically target the concepts that are covered in the GMAT (eg. combinations, absolute values, inequalities, etc.)?
