Math Concerns for 1st Time Test Taker

Thanks for your email - I understand a number of things are private but we try to encourage folks to post in the forum (that way more people get to provide feedback and also the 90% that read but not post have a chance to learn something). In private situations, it is best to us PM (Private Messaging) - just unspoken rules I guess

Math can be a challenge, but for the score you are shooting, should not be a problem. Age does interfere with your ability to crack these little things - I can relate, but again, a few weeks of 2-hours a day should get up to a good level. Instead of just attacking questions at this time, try to start with theory and fundamentals, don't rush to take the tests.

If you do want to know your level (if you don't know it), you can download GMAT Prep - this test is distributed by GMAC and MBA.com and is the official GMAT simulator, but don't waste these tests for nothing -they are way too valuable. They are based on retired GMAT questions from real tests, so they are the closest to the real GMAT and give you the best assessment.

Thanks for the advice as it is appreciated!

I have laid out my schedule and should be able to manage 10 hours a week to prepare for the test. I am planning on taking the test in June and need a score of 450 or better to be accepted to my university of choice.

I am excited about the challenge!!
