GMAT Math Overview/Formulas/Concepts

by zeal_huyi » Tue Mar 03, 2009 2:23 pm
If anyone is looking for a handy study booklet that contains most of the GMAT math concepts and formulas, I strongly recommend the GMAT Math Study Sheet at www.GMATMathSheet.com. It's a 4-page condensed study note that has GMAT math relevant concepts as well as examples elaborating on those concepts. I am not saying that you will be able excel in the math portion just by staring at that study sheet. You will definitely need go through numerous practice problems. But the study sheet will give you a much clearer overview of math needed and the overall structure of the test. I think they have a preview version of the study sheet in which only the first page is displayed. Here is the preview link.

Hope it is helpful.

There is plenty of free material on the web that already covers that. Why would I pay $20 for that sheet?

Good point. So how much are you willing to pay for that?
I've plowed through the free stuffs online before. None are as comprehensive as that study sheet. Also, the material online are not filtered for the GMAT math exam. Nonetheless, you would have to actually spend time searching for them and decide if they are relevant or not. After all, time is money.
Let's have a quick survey here. How much would you pay for such a study sheet?

I'd pay $20. I'ts good stuff. And yeah, time is money.
However, for the GMAT everything must be internalized. You must memorize all the info available on this sheet.

If you go to eSnips or other sites, you can find HUGE lists of GMAT math content all for free. In addition, just Google "GMAT Math Formulas Sheet" etc. and you can find what you need.

Hi zeal_huyi

Thanks for the info.
Jackson was right when he/she mentions that there's tons of free stuff online.
However, I reckon this sheet is pretty concise just from the preview.
have you been using it in your gmat preparations?

The point of having a formula sheet is not tailoring one but rather having one with ALL formulas that might be needed to solve the math section. Not eveybody knows which math concepts will be key to pass the test.

Math concepts required for the test are not subjective, so if you are willing to pay for a cheat sheet why not pay less (than the $20 one mentioned above).

Good luck.
