I've been out of college for over a decade and pretty much lost all of my basic math skills (algebra, statistics, geometry, etc.) It's so bad that I signed up for Knewton and had to hold off on the course b/c I couldn't keep up w/ the mathematics. Does anyone know of a course (online, offline or even a book (that I can provide to a tutor)) that presents the mathematics covered in the GMAT as a comprehensive refresher course?

HI Elicohen!

I know that we (Manhattan GMAT) have a Foundations of Math book that will help prep your basic math skills for an upcoming course. We also have 2 Foundations of Math (live online) workshops that might help.

I know that LOTS of students have this same issue; math is definitely use it or lose it!!

Good Luck with your Studies!

I agree the Manhattan GMAT foundation book is useful. Another one that I prescribe to students to brush up their basics is Jeff Sackman's Math Bible. Pick just 1 book and get the basics out of the way.

Google is your friend. A lot of topics have very detailed explanation on various websites. I recommend whenever you are stuck (or need a change) just google that topic out.

"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."
