GMAT Math

Hi deepak.gmat,

A Q46 is the type of score that strong 'math thinkers' (engineers, bankers, etc.) tend to score in the Quant section. That section of the GMAT is NOT a 'math test' - it's a 'critical thinking test' that involves lots of little math steps. As such, to raise your score to a Q50+, you have to learn to 'see' the Quant section in a different way. An emphasis on Quant Tactics, pattern-matching, etc. is what's needed now.

1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?

4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?

Hi deepak.gmat,

Depending on your current needs, there are many options to help you with GMAT quant. To help determine which prep resource may be the best fit for you, I have a few questions about your GMAT experience and MBA goals:

1) Describe your study routine. For how many hours a day have you been studying and for how many total months? What resources have you been using for your prep?

Also, when you were studying, do you feel as if you have been able to achieve linear and targeted learning followed by focused practice? In other words, have you been able to master one topic before you moved to the next?

2) Can you provide us with the dates and score breakdowns of your official MBA.com practice tests? When you took the practice tests, did you take them under realistic conditions (e.g. in a quiet environment, no extended breaks)?

3) To what schools do you plan to apply?

4) What deadlines are you targeting?

5) When is the date of your GMAT?
