Hi Everybody,

I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions on how to begin preparing for the GMAT, particularly for the quantitative section. My background is I have not taken any math courses since Grade 11 and did not get the best grades. I am looking into taking some math classes that would help me brush up/re-learn high school math. Would this be the route to go at this point? Would a good understanding in high school math be sufficient in getting a decent score for the quantitative section?

good step dude
most of the quant checked are of high school only.
so taking course would help you in GMAT as well as after exam while you are applying colleges as not in touch with math after class 11 you will have this extra thing to surprise adcom member.
coming to maths you will have to take any standard gmat book brush up the concept and if any doubt my friend you are at the best place post it here and there are n number of expert more than eager to solve your problem

Manhattan's math books should get you up to speed on GMAT related topics, and they don't require you to have strong foundation prior to reading them.

As oppose to reading high school math books or even attending high school-type math classes, I suggest you to pick up some Manhattan math books first.

10-11 years since I took math and I find the books to be very helpful.

I am in a very similar situation as you are. My research has told me that Manhattan books are good for reviewing/re-learning those basic high school math skills. I was an arts & sciences major in college, so beyond statistics and calculus I haven't had any formal math since high school (10+ years ago). The good news is the basic concepts that the GMAT focuses on aren't that difficult (algebra, geometry, arithmetic etc...). You can re-learn a good amount in a short time.

Yes, using the manhattan GMAT books would be the most efficient use of your time. Especially when teachers often vary in teaching ability, and they don't give you test-taking tips and strategies to remember certain math concepts like the MGMAT books. Besides, you may take a course and only learn 70 or 80% of what you would from a given MGMAT book...so this would be a waste of your time and money.

I got D's and F's in high school math, but I am able to understand the MGMAT books perfectly. :)
