GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy. - May 08

Hello everyone
I am fairly new to this forum and this is my first post. I recently began my gmat quest and took a practice exam from Manhattan Gmat. I was advised to take the exam before I study any material to know where exactly I stand. I read on the forum to focus just on quant until I can bring my score up. So for the second practice exam I just took the quant and had to guess at the end and still did not finish. I think I could have solved alot of the problems I got wrong but almost went into a nervous frenzy which brings me to my dilema. Below are my scores
MGMAT 7/1 520
V-29 56% Q-33 39%
MGMAT 8/14
Q-28 24%
In my assessment I realized that I only got 10% correct on geometry. 9 wrong and 1 right. I know that this has certainly skewed my quant score and will most likely start the geometry book asap, but my question is i'm not sure how else to attack the quant. I feel as though I was nervous on the 2nd test, so should I focus on doing computer adaptive tests timed to get used to the format and to rid myself of the nerves I get or work through the mgmat questions and OG. I don't think I have enough time to prepare for the exam and apply to schools for next fall so I will most likely have until next year. I'm ok with this since I have just under 3 years of work experience now. So basically my plan is to improve my quant score to a manageable level and possibly take a course afterwards. Could someone pls advise me on the best way to approach this?

Official Guides and MGMAT Quants books are good way to start. 2 months before the test start to give CATS so that you can get youself comfortable with timing and how the scoring works.
Good luck!

Welcome mpalma149!
I would agree that OG is probably the best way to start, as it has some really great questions, and quite a large volume as well (well distributed between PS & DS). Next I moved on to the Kaplan Primer with CD, it has several paper Qs as well as CATs.
I am looking for a larger volume of practice questions too (I noticed that there are several books such as Kaplan Math that have good theory, but very few PS & DS structured questions), so if you find any good sources please share!
