Greetings,

Just joined up and very pleased to see such a wonderful resource available to test-takers.

So last week I downloaded the official GMAT prep software and took the first practice test.
My score: 560 (Q25 ,V43) When I looked over the percentages I thought something had to be wrong. The discrepancy between the two sections was very large (15% - 96%). So i preceded to take the second practice test. Sure enough the scores fell in nearly the exact same range.

I should of known. Sometime while taking the Q section I realized I was getting stumped pretty often and had to resort to guessing frequently.

So here I stand. From browsing the forums I've gotten the impression that my case is a little odd. Most people seem initially to do poorly on the verbal as opposed to quant. I've begun to review adamantly to re-familiarize myself with math. I've found that I've forgotten basics concepts such as: the properties of exponents, formulas, etc I chalk this up a very lackadaisical mindset towards math upon entering college. On the plus side I know what I need to study for.

I was hoping I would be able to get some advice on re-educating myself in math and beginning to tackle the quant section. Perhaps some good strategies/guides/study plans and maybe advice from someone who has been in this situation before??

Thanks!

Off late hearing real good reviews on "http://www.totalgmatmath.com/" so check it out .. its much cheaper than MGMAT books and lots of practises also

Consider yourself in a fortunate position. V43 is a great starting point. I recommend Total GMAT Math, because it covers all of the subjects tested on the GMAT Quant section. The MGMAT Number Properties guide is pretty specific, so it holds some extra value as well.

Welcome to GMAT Club and good luck!
