GMAT Strategy

In need of suggestions for brushing up on simple math..

I've been studying for about two months, following these blogs throughout. Recently, I started to make tons of careless/simple math errors. I'm now making far too many quant mistakes.

I have about a month left before "G-Day". I don't want to take a break nor can I afford the time off from studying. Does anyone have suggestions on how to brush up on simple math to get out of this burn out mode and start enjoying solving these quant problems again?

Hoping someone might have had a similar experience and shed some light.

Maybe don't do any quant studying for a few days and work on CR problems. Then when you come back to quant, try solving problems for a few days without timing yourself. Be slow and deliberate and concentrate on not making any mistakes. Maybe this will help get back in a zone, so to speak.

Hmm, thanks for the suggestion!!

After the 'break' from Quant, would you suggest reviewing MGMAT's Foundations of Math text?

If you're making silly/careless mistakes on problems that you are not struggling with conceptually, then I'm not sure that the Foundations is what will help most.

You know where you're at better than anyone else. Take a break from Quant if you're burnt out, and then come back to it after working on something else for a while. That's the best suggestion I can give to you.

that is a natural feeling. take a few days off studying math
