I have until mid-August (4 1/2 months of studying) to take my GMAT exam for the fall and possibly October for Spring if I score badly. I am overall confused about what to study for the GMAT. I recently watched a GMAT quant review as well reading various forms that provide basic math concepts of what will be tested on the GMAT quant, and felt motivated about what I was learning until I started looking at the GMAT questions and answers. The gmat answer provided short cuts to answering these questions and overall gave the impression that these math concepts were obsolete. Its should take 2 min to solve a math problem but formulas take longer to do. I got a 230 on the official GMAT practice test and need to get at least a 550 to gain admission. Where I can start for beginners becasue everything is so foreign to me. Thank You!

Hi, 4 and a half month is sufficient to target your desired score, you can do maybe even more in that time span if you plan your prep wisely. If you need help in Quant I would like you to go through this post https://gmatclub.com/forum/all-you-need ... l#p1130136 which is great way to kick start your prep. Secondly, you need a good prep course since you need to strengthen up your fundamentals for anything above 500. You can go through the review page and pick one which suits you the best :https://gmatclub.com/reviews/gmat_courses/?fl=menu. Lastly when you're done learning, Utilize Official guide to apply your newly learned skill set, OG questions are true gems, spend considerable time in analyzing every question, make notes, and prepare an error log. Give official GMAT prep mocks in GMAT like conditions. analyze the mocks and work on your weaknesses . Goodluck

Hi mactuan12
I would like to share with you my experience regarding the quant. I got Q51 with no course, but with the help of the content of this club.
here is my recipe:
1- study each topic from this megathread: https://gmatclub.com/forum/ultimate-gmat-quantitative-megathread-244512.html#p1886497
2- After each topic, don't jump to the next until you practice questions on it.
3- After finishing a topic, go to the questionbank https://gmatclub.com/forum/search.php?view=search_tags
4- choose the same topic, start with the easy difficulty, and choose known sources only (Offical guide, Kaplan, Veritas, Manhattan,....) and click search
5- rearrange the questions in decending order according to the number of kudos.
6- Solve the top questions (easy top 50) (medium top 25) (hard top 15)
7- for each question, use the time counter.
8- for any question that you solved too slow or solved wrong, add it to you bookmark.
9- read the explanation of each questions thoroughly (both right and wrong ones)
10- pay attention to how the questions are answered and the concept behind
11- if you find any new concept or formula, write it down in a separate paper for your reference.
12- repeat these steps for each topic by advancing from easy to medium to hard.
13- don't skip a level without making sure that the previous level is mastered (easy 90%, medium 80%, hard 65%)
14- don't skip a day without solving quant.
