Hi All, I'm preparing for GMAT , next year and a bit lost with the quantitative section. Maybe you can suggest a few ways. Thanks in advance.
Here is the situation, I never had a good "relationship" with Maths during my school days. Now, as I'm trying to prepare for it, there are 2 challenges I'm facing :
A. Even if I try to understand most of the concepts of a section, but when I try to do a few problems, I just go blank.
B. When I move from one section to another section, I completely forget about the previous section. e.g, suppose I'm done with number system and moved to Geometry , when I return to number system, my memory is almost gone about it.
Appreciate any comments.
For your second issue, you might get some value out of Spaced Retrieval / Spaced Repetition as a learning method. In short, you don't just study one topic, then the next topic, then the next. Instead, you study each topic at increasingly longer intervals, to train yourself to remember it after longer and longer periods of 'down time'. For instance, when you first make a flashcard, you might study it multiple times during the first day. Then, you look at it once or twice the next day. Then, you wait two days and look at it again. If you still remember it, wait a week, etc.
Think short, varied study sessions, rather than one-topic marathons. Remembering is a skill, and if you force yourself to work hard to remember old topics, you'll get better at it.
