Is it possible to learn math in 2-3 months and get a high score?

You can check ALL YOU NEED FOR QUANT ! ! !, well, basically for all you need for quant.

Hope it helps.

I am new here on the forum and for some reason I couldn't answer to each of you. Thank you very much to all of you for your answers. You gave good tips and I will use them in a good way. And Bunuel, Oh my God, your link is worth gold! #let's refresh math skills#

The math isn't difficult really, but if you don't work in a maths related field and don't use some concepts on a daily basis I suggest you check out the Manhattan Prep Quant books. And yes you can refresh your knowledge in 2-3 months. It just depends on how much work you can spend. Study daily and set daily and weekly goals. You should finish in 6 weeks even.

GMAT questions are based on the concepts that we learn in high-school. As GMAT tests logic, you will see questions which would require No math at all. There will be questions for which if you think critically and understand the trap then you might not even need to write anything. As not just the knowledge but application and pattern recognition matters alot, Follow Bunuel's approach to solve Quant questions. Apart from this practice and review is all we need. With a confident mind and developing a habit to see through the logic tested on each problem will get you > Q45.

All the best. Keep posting your doubts on forum and you can see different approaches to solve a kind of question.

Hope it helps.

I started prepping about 6 weeks ago, and I'm taking the real thing this weekend. My situation is a little different, but I feel like I've come a long way in a short amount of time, so I'll tell you what I did. I started out at Q42-Q43, and I'm consistently scoring Q50 now.

I think a diagnostic exam may be a good place to start, but I just started with the Magoosh quant question bank. I was always good at math on SAT/ACT, so I think it came back pretty easily for me. I was missing a ton of questions on Magoosh, but it was good for giving me a sense of what I didn't know. I read the explanations of the ones I missed, and I got pretty comfortable with (most) of them. Then I went through the Manhattan books. I think these were pretty useful, and they'd probably be even more useful for you since you don't remember much from high school. If you get the books, I'd strongly recommend that you utilize the online material. The online question banks were good practice. I thought the CATs were hard as hell, and I wasn't coming anywhere close to finishing the quant sections (I'd have like 7-8 questions left), but reading through all those explanations is when I really started to turn the corner. I identified what I didn't know and read additional questions on the GMATClub forum. I took my first GMATPrep test at the beginning of January (like 3 weeks after I started prepping), and I made a Q50. I took my second test a few days ago and again made a Q50. The Manhattan quant section (and the GMATClub forum) made the GMATPrep and OG stuff seem super easy to me. I was still missing some, but the ones I was missing were mostly because I was being sloppy and not reading the questions closely. I felt like the math skills were there except for 1-2 of them.

I'd strongly recommend reacquainting yourself with math through the GMATClub book or the Manhattan books, but I'd also recommend the Manhattan CATs because I found them hard, frustrating, and super useful.
