I was wondering what folks could recommend for helping improving my quant score. I am a civil engineer and my quant is killing me! Isnt that wierd? I have been scoring around 41 on verbal - but around 37 on quant. Is the MGMAT books good for this? I take my first GMAT tomorrow....but its not gonna be pretty.......

It'd be good to know which part of the quant section is casuing you trouble and how (misreading, misunderstanding or "real math problems").

I had a lot of problem with DS, but Princeton Review's Crack the GMAT helped me on the issue and my quant score rocketed from 38 to 47-49. If the problem is not with the methodology, I'd rather recommend Kaplan's GMAT 800. The math review is really good in that book.

Following books should help

OG 11 (39$)
Maths Review from GMAC (20$)
GMATCLUB test package (25 Q and 6 V) (79$) . This one is the best. It will definitely push your scores.

Many students who have strong math backgrounds (engineers, financial types, etc.) have trouble on the GMAT quant section. I think the reason is that the GMAT does not test very difficult math; nearly every question can be answered with arithmetic or, at worst, very simple algebra.

Students with strong quant backgrounds tend to approach questions in very methodical, formulaic ways. This is not usually the best way to do GMAT questions. GMAT questions often hinge upon some sort of trick or shortcut that is lost upon students who dive right in and start setting up equations.

I'd spend some time working on developing your ability to do questions without "real math" - devise tricks and shortcuts as often as you can. Certainly, some problems are best solved using traditional math - but most aren't.

Thanks guys!

I agree - but would you agree I could argue that the quant is there? I have two engineering degrees from a top 25 US engineering program. I also have a North Carolina professional engineer's lisence and 11 years leadership experience. Dammit I don't wanna take it again!

But I will lol........

Rajib,

I bought the GMATClub today. What do you get in the mail? Or is it online?

I appreciate your help man,

Ben
