Hi guys,
Imagine this friends.
I am applying for an eMBA at Chicago Booth, my application is all going well. BUT they need a GMAT score and not a particularly high one (from all the scores I am seeing on this forum).
I am bad at Maths, I scraped a B grade in high school, with a very easy exam board in the UK that gave multiple choice answers and it was the highest grade I could get on the paper so.. I am not great to start with, that was 15 years ago.
My logic is very sound. but I am struggling big time. Netting out on practice questions about 30 for D/S I haven't looked at P/S yet.
I have bought Math Revolution, but self learning isn't going well (as an aside I do suggest Math Revolutions approach to those who know math, you'll nail it).... but I am struggling.
I am looking for people in Shanghai that can help, a tutor, etc...
Support, wise words, or practice will make perfect encouragement all welcome.
Thanks
Samuel
p.s not so worried about verbal, as scored 31 with no studying on GMAT practice exam, when just exploring what this is all about. I got 16 on Q BTW... I guessed well

Hi Samuel,
Many Test Takers have some concerns about their 'math skills', so you're not alone. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. 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, you should limit your studies to basic Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry. Beyond that resource, before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi Samuel,
Many Test Takers have some concerns about their 'math skills', so you're not alone. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. For free math practice and help, I recommend that you set up an account at Khan Academy . 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, you should limit your studies to basic Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry. Beyond that resource, before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
- I have watched a couple of the Khan videos and they are helpful. Thanks for confirming they are suitable for GMAT maths learning.
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? - 7days
2) What materials have you used? - started with OG then bought the Math Revolution course, the Math Review wasn't really helpful as it was a repeat of the OG guide and it didn't 'teach me' it showed me.
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)? - I did one CAT test 9 days ago when I found out I need a GMAT, with no study, haven't done another one yet. (q16/v310.
Goals:
4) What is your goal score? 600 is what I need to achieve to tick that box of my application.
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT? (late Feb is when the school said I should submit the score)
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School? I am applying for the Executive MBA @ Chicago Booth, I am submitting my application this month, the recruiter said I can give my GMAT score in after I have submitted as it is an Executive MBA, I guess slightly different to a full time IDK.
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to? - As above.
