So everything is going well. I really needed a lot of work on quant and understanding the basic concepts. The MGMAT books are great but it skips or doesn't go into detail on a some of the basic principles and/or concepts. It assumes you know them already which made it difficult for me at least to follow. I've been using the Gmat Prep Now videos to learn the concepts and applying them to the MGAMT books. Using the MGAMT strategies once you know the fundamentals and a few tricks just opens everything up.

I would recommend the gmat prep now videos for learning the basic quant concepts if anyone is having trouble following the MGAMT or OG guides explanations. Its a solid tool to go back and use if you're getting stuck.

Food for thought....

You're right - Mprep books don't always dive deeply into foundational concepts, because some students will already know them. Instead, we published a Foundations of Math book to go much more in depth into the basics. Do you have a copy of it?

If you have access to our website, you can also access our Foundations of Math workshops and Foundations practice sets here: https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/stud ... ispexams=3

You definitely want to make sure that you have the basics locked down before moving on to the more challenging material!
