I just had my first Knewton online class tonight. I was very pleased with how it went. I finally was able to realize what I have been doing wrong for some time on the quant side of the test. I am not setting up equations.
For instance, when I come across a GMAT problem either through study or on a CAT, I approach the question improperly. I try and and attack the question as if it was purely conceptual. In other words, I try to do a lot of the work in my head by picturing a real world situation instead of setting up a math equation to solve the problem.
I would like to get more core practice in setting up equations and answering world problems outside of blasting away at GMAT problem after GMAT problem.
Any one have any recommendations?

I think that you posted your question in the wrong forum section.
PS: Try getting equations/inequalities/VIC's book from Manhattan GMAT.
All equations/inequalities questions are conceptional. Just as word problem questions are. You have to translate words or equations into simple equations. Equation problems are actually very easy.
The golden part of the MGMAT is the VIC's (Variables In answer Choices). You will have to use real life examples (or Smart Numbers) to solve the problems. So definitely look into that book.

Thanks, I will definitely look at that book.
Also, sorry about the mispost. I recognized I did that last night but I didn't know how to move the thread to the correct forum.
