Hi
I am re-applicant to B-schools. I belong to an over-represented demography and I believe that one of the many reasons I couldn't get an interview with the schools of my choice was that I don't have desired cut-off marks in Quant in GMAT. My overall score is 750 (98 percentile), but my quant score is only 48 (68 percentile).
In order to improve my chances in the upcoming application season, I want to prove my quantitative skills and capabilities. While some have recommended that I take GMAT again and try to improve my quant score, I also want to consider whether taking the MBA Math course (https://www.mbamath.com/CourseTopics/AllSubjects.aspx) is also a way to achieve the same.
I am more inclined towards taking the course instead of the exam for two reasons - one, it costs less and two, it lets me learn something instead of having to go through the exam stress.
Your opinion, suggestion and guidance are heartily welcome.
Thank you

Why do you feel so sure that this was a primary issue in not getting shortlisted? I am very suspicious of that.
What else you have in your quant background? Grades? Work?
Even if you're over represented that doesn't really impact the whole quant factor - they just want to know you can do the work and I think with 48 that's quite a close number to Harvard standard of 49.
As someone over-represented they will be looking more at the bigger GMAT picture here. If somebody is overrepresented yes you want a good enough quant but it's more important to have a high aggregate score to beat out competition.
What I mean to say is I think your score is high enough for them to not be concerned about your ability to do the work UNLESS you have demerits and red flags in your quant profile otherwise.
Do MBA math but there is absolutely some other elements in your profile that are at play here. You need objective outside perspective.

I'm not sure your quant score is what led to your dings. Is this feedback that you received from the colleges you applied to?
I have the exact same score as you and my undergrad was not quant-heavy (and I didn't have great grades either), but I had multiple interviews and acceptances. I'm fairly certain that you don't need to retake your GMAT at all. It might be worth having someone look at your apps and see if there were any red flags in your essays, interviews or general story. Also, there's really no reason you can't do MBA Math and do the GMAT again if you really want to. MBA Math took me like 12-15 hours to complete, its not difficult at all.
All that said, I'm fairly certain a quant score of 48 isn't keeping you out of anywhere. I'm no expert, but anecdotally I had much better results with the exact same score and I've never heard of anyone who's been rejected solely because their quant score in the GMAT is 48.
