Hey guys,
So... I have 40 days left to the D day... currently, my scores vary around 620-650 (Q36-39, V40-43). Originally, i wanted to score around 650, but now my appetite is growing and i would love to try to break the famous 700 barrier... Obviously, my math needs some work. I am going through the OG12 problems, keeping the error log, therefore pinpointing my weaknesses (hate the XY coordinate problems
). Either way, i noticed that 9 times out of 10, i will mess up on probabilities and combinations, because i simply don't know the formulas. If i am not mistaken, this problem is to be encountered one to three times in GMAT, depending on how well one is doing. Since i obviously have quite a bit of work to do in other math areas, from the XY coordinate systems to number properties, i am wondering if learning probabilities and combinations is even worth the time? I have Veritas Prep Probablities and Combinatorics book, but it seems that it may take some time to go through it, while i still have more "common" topics to go over before the test.
Any opinions, advice, etc?
Thanks guys!

Hello,
If you are not comfortable with Probability and combination's, try to work on your other weak areas. But at the end of the day, its worth learning the few permutations & combination formulas and basic probability. You might be asked some basic probability or combination problem, which might be very easy on The Day.
But, beware, don't directly jump onto the problems by GMAT club on this site. They will scare you for sure. Work on some basic problems and then depending on time availability, you can work on harder problems.
Regards,
Praveen

Definitely don't jump into the problems on this site. Just when I think I'm getting the hang of the GMAT math, I try a problem in the quant section of the forum and am totally devastated. I'll get the hang of it eventually. Good luck!!!
