Hey everyone!

I just started my prep. I am currently working on Manhattan’s Foundations of Math. This question came to mind while studying...what’s the most effective note-taking system while studying, especially for quant?

Posted from my mobile device


Hi

I make flashcards on some important quant concepts and review them regularly to master them. I have two types of flashcards: physical copies and screenshots.

HI LtFreericHenry,

I agree with much of what has been said. I think that taking notes of must-know concepts is important and then eventually converting those notes to flashcards.

Hi LtFredericHenry,

From an organizational standpoint, you would likely find it helpful to organize all of your GMAT notes in one location (such as a binder or notebook). Many GMAT Courses include PDFs of important formulas/rules/etc., so enrolling in a Course might take care of some of this for you. You might also find it worthwhile to keep 'lists' of specific rules you did not know (such as rare Grammar rules or Idioms) that you can periodically review.

If you've recently begun your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
