I am confused about the education first as well. I am currently working towards receiving my MBA and am applying for internships. I have never had any full-time work experience. Should I put my education and then relevant internships?

Hey Raka, It has now been awhile since i read the math bible. I do not think it has a quick way to do sums. It does however have a mental math chapter. This tells you how to quickly multiply percents and quickly divide. It does however cover all the concepts. I liked it because it first has drills, ...

pallavi..sorry I forgot to address the other question you asked. your tutors might know your weaknesses better than i do. personally, I would say if you are having a problem beginning the problems you need to do problems made by the gmat. You need to be familiar with the types of questions they have...

sorry it took awhile, i just got back to school. Pallavi: Have you done all the OG questions? I found that the first time I did them I got a lot wrong. But the key is to practice practice practice. You will probably get frustrated at first but then in a little you won't even realize that you are slo...

hey Pallavi, I would say if you are having trouble with the fundamentals (remembering exponent rules, geometry rules etc) first do a refresher in those. I think the Kaplan workbook is pretty good for the basics, I had just taken precalc, so it was repeat for me. My problem was that I would look at t...

I am having trouble with rate problems. Does anyone know of a link to a good resource that will demystify these questions?
Thanks!

I actually just got through the entire book. The book has great explanations and lots of shortcuts. After finishing it I took the Manhattan GMAT practice test offered for free online. The last time I took the real GMAT my quantitative was 32. I raised it to a 38 on the practice test after reading th...

hey alexdallas, I found that the cracking the gmat princeton book has a pretty good approach to the rc, you might want to check it out. I got the book for free at the library. They tell you to do variable speed reading, skim small details but look for the important points, especially 'trigger words,...

Time is definitely still an issue for me, I usually have to guess on the last 2 or 3. I think I just need more practice because I get nervous and then forget how to translate the problems from math to english and don't know here to begin. I just want something a little less basic, I did the Kaplan m...

GMAT materials

I have read the previous posts about the GMAT prep materials but am wondering which would be best to use to improve my quantitative score. I have done all of the practice problems in the OG 11th edition and the OG quantitative review and the problems from bin 3 and 4 from Cracking the GMAT. I was go...
