I would suggest try out target test prep, they are really good for quant prep. They also have a 5 day trail so you can try it out.

Hi sharandsp

You should start with Manhattan Foundations of GMAT Math. It is very good for those weak in math. It will refresh your rusty school level math skills and then gradually come to the Main Math guides from Manhattan GMAT.

What is your Goal Score by the way?

Hi sharandsp,

Welcome to GMATCLUB! You can try out the TTP course as it is phenomenal and covers the entire syllabus really well. Plus it has great reviews on GMATCLUB. I must add that if you are particularly looking to discover and improve on your weak areas in Quant; a subscription to GMATCLUB tests is the best way to do that. They are indeed phenomenal and will not only pinpoint your weak areas but also help you improve on them. Note that it is recommended that you start with the GMATCLUB tests only once you reach a Q45+ as the questions are a bit challenging.

Further taking multiple mocks might help. Apart from the GMATPREP, Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.

Further another advantage of taking many mocks is to build up your stamina. Apart from the GMATPREP tests, taking practise tests of any major GMATPREP company ought to do that.

Lastly I would also encourage you to purchase the latest version of OG and the Quant review for some great additional practice. Here is a link that will help you with your decision.

Hope this helps. All the best.

Hey sharandsp

Welcome to GMATClub!

I've some good news for you. GMAT Quant is one of the easiest aspects of the test(as far
as making an improvement is concerned. The first step is to take a GMATPrep test and see
what score you are getting in Quant. This will help you understand your baseline score and
this will help others give you a good plan to work on based on the topics which need more
attention

These are few of the links which you can use in order to improve your Quant score.

1. GMATClub Quantitative Mega-Thread
2. ALL YOU NEED FOR QUANT ! ! !
3. PS Directory by Topic and Difficulty
4. DS Directory by Topic and Difficulty
5. Q44 -> Q50
6. Timing strategies

The first two links help you with basic concepts. For topics that you have problems in, you
could work on the concepts from the first thread. The third and fourth links are for practice
only and the sixth link will give you an idea of some of the timing strategies that might be
helpful.

Whenever you practice questions, try to understand if you are able to apply the learning to
the problems. Every time you are not able to solve a question go through the thread(where
the question has been discussed) and go through the various methods that have been used
to solve the problems. In my experience, you will come across a few methods that will help
you save some time. Try and adapt these methods while you solve questions during practice.

Work on maintaining an error log and go through the mistakes you make from time to time.
This retrospection will definitely help you improve your scores. Last but not the least, these
are few links that you might find handy while preparing for the GMAT. Feel free to tag the
experts for questions you have no clue about.

Hope this helps you.
