--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't looked at any GMAT prep stuff in a few years, and just started again this week. The only section I need help with is math. I've done extremely well on the verbal every time I've taken it. Last time I took the test was in Feb 2 of 04 and I got 39 verbal and 42 quant for a score of 660 (and 5.5 on AWA), which is pretty consistent with my previous attempts. I had a kaplan tutor before that test work with me only on math and my math score actually went down and my verbal went up, leaving me with the same 660 I got before.
I know the basic math concepts, but stil struggle with figuring out the harder problems and handling my nerves when taking a test like this. I find the data sufficiency problems to be escpially difficult when dealing with number properties.
I have the OG 10th edition, the 2003 ARCO book, a probability book from high school, and a book called "Math Power" from the 80's, and I have the Kaplan 2003 book here somewhere.
So far I've reviewed the perm/comb from the prob book, as well as the basic math concepts from the math power book. I've also done some questions on the forum.
Should I go out and buy all the new editions or any other books or is what I have fine? I refuse to believe that I can't improve my math skills to the point where I can solve these problems
