Hello Everyone,
My GMAT date is coming up (March 17th) and I’m starting to get really nervous. This is the first time I’m taking it and have to at least reach the 50th percentile since my application is due in April (Cal State school). I only have the OG which I bought earlier this week (no supplements) and so far I’m really confused with the quantitative section. I was hoping to ask for any advice on how I should approach this (Eg: Study plan or any other supplements to purchase)
I really appreciate the help. Thank you
Background: Just graduated in the spring but hadn’t taken a math class in a couple of years. Math was always one of my better subjects all throughout school though.

Hi, I definitely feel for you
But don't freak out! Just be very methodical during your prep. Take a look at the GMAT Club math book. You can download it for free. If you feel like you need additional material, I'd suggest the Manhattan guides. And don't skip the practice exercises there! They may not be in GMAT format, but they are very useful in pinpointing trouble areas. And after you went through all the necessary topics, just practice a lot, keep an error log, and review your mistakes. Maybe brush up again on certain topics. There are also all kinds of courses if you have the budget for them, but reading and practicing worked best for me personally. Good luck!

Hi Iamscrewed,
Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) When you say that you have to get the '50th percentile' is that the 50th percentile OVERALL or a minimum of the 50th percentile in each of the Quant and Verbal sections?
2) Would that score 'guarantee' you admission or is it a minimum score requirement just to apply?
