How to strengthen quantitative background

Question

Hi,

I am Shreya Kapoor and I belong to social sciences background and have not studied many quantitative courses during my under graduation and haven't been exposed to very strong analytical or quantitative roles during my job.

I have already attempted GMAT once, however, I did not get a competitive score. Although, I am currently exploring the option of attempting the test again, I would like to know if there are any online quantitative courses (available on Coursera or any other platform) that can help me in strengthening the quantitative skills for MBA admissions.

Regards,
Shreya Kapoor

Hi Shreya Kapoor,

For free math practice and help, I recommend that you set up an account at Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org). The site is completely free and makes the learning a bit more fun and 'game-like' (as opposed to the dry academic approach taken by most books). While the site is vast, if you wanted to hone some specific skills before you retook the GMAT, then you should limit your studies to basic Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry. In the broader sense though, Business Schools often expect that Applicants have taken college-level Calculus and Statistics classes, so those might also be areas that you should investigate.

1) When did you take the Official GMAT and how did you score (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hey Shreya,

Rida from e-GMAT here! Let me help you out.

I completely understand your worry. As someone from a similar background, Quant can seem challenging if you are from a non-Quant background. It helps to break down your goals in Quant -

1. Learn Concepts
2. Understand how to apply those concepts on GMAT Style questions
3. Validate your ability.

Also - don't get overwhelmed by by thinking of the Quant portion of the test as a math test. What helped me was looking at it as, first and foremost, a test of my logic and reasoning. Remember - the section is called Quantitative Reasoning!

e-GMAT Quant 2.0 
We at e-GMAT surely have the best in the industry Verbal course. In 2021 (Aug) we revamped our Quant course and launched Quant 2.0. With the new Quant course, we have revamped the course architecture. While we still teach concepts, we have segregated application files into Process Skill files and GMAT Skill files. There are three benefits with the above approach:

1. Learning personalization: Greater segregation into files implies that we can personalize learning even more within a module.

2. Ease of learning: A core principle in learning is that the smaller the jumps, the higher the percentage of people who will simply get it. Going from concept skills to process skills and then to GMAT skills makes this transition simpler and makes new information a lot easier to absorb.

3. Granular feedback: At e-GMAT, we love causality, i.e., we always strive to tell students where they are faltering and why. This new architecture (combined with the underlying technology) allows us to provide more precise and tailored feedback.

Ever since the release of Quant 2.0, more than 70% Q49≤ reported on GMAT Club were powered by e-GMAT.

I hope this helps!

Rida
