Should I take Finite Math, College Algebra, Calc, Or Stats? Should I take a combination of courses? I was going to take them at a local CC, and yes they do transfer to several local/national accredidated Universities

I'm completing a Grad Certificate in SCM and I want to make sure my Math is good to go for the test.

Most college-level math courses are overkill. For the most part, the math required for the GMAT does not exceed the math taught in grade 11. In fact many of the concepts are taught in elementary school.

If your algebra skills are weak, perhaps the Algebra course you mentioned would be okay, but even that will contain A LOT of content that is not covered on the GMAT.

Cheers,

The Algebra class is the only one that is relevant, but best to treat them as separate endeavors. You will need about 3 months of prep time for the GMAT, so maybe if you have some free time during the summer you could take care of it then...

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
