Hello everyone,

I need some vocabulary log or book in quant section. My native language is not English and I m facing hefty amount of problem in quant! I consider myself quite competent in math but I don't understand some of the given info unless I look up. For instance, standard deviation, isosceles triangle and etc,
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you

Thank u very much for your feedback. I'm working on right now, sorry for asking such an asinine question without opening a book. Perhaps I have over estimated my math knowledge.

The language on the GMAT math problems actually throws off plenty of native speakers and it does take time for a lot of students to get used to. This means that it takes a certain amount of time to get familiar with it. My recommendation is to practice with easy official GMAT problems to get a handle on their language and style. You can start with the easy questions (the first one-third) of the problems in the current official guides, or you can also use the old GMAT Official Guide 10th edition that has plenty of easy problems with a lot of verbiage. That is where I would start, and then slowly graduate to the current stuff.

Cheers,
Dabral
