I just started studying for the GMAT exam which I plan on taking sometime this early summer, so I do have few months to study.
Although I am a non-native English speaker as many of the other members here I have completely different problems. My verbal part on my first GMAT attempt was decent (don't remember the exact score for each section) but on the quantitative part I was just terrible.
I have a subscription to Magoosh which I like, but I just realized that, for example, I am already top on the sentence correction part. I always get 100% right on all sentence correction problems so that is great of course. CR and RC is a mixed bag for me.
My problem is still the quantitative part. I usually sit in front of problems and don't have the slightest idea about how to even get started. I usually get about 50% right on the math questions which is sad I know.
Would you suggest to just focus on the quantitative part or how in the world can I improve this? I obviously am not a math genius and I am wondering if it's even possible to get a decent score the math portion of the GMAT?
I want a GMAT exam with just sentence correction.

Hi Silviax,
When was the last time that you took a FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)? If you've taken one recently, then what were your scores (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)? If you have not taken one, then you should take one soon (maybe this weekend). The data from that CAT will help to define your current strengths and weaknesses and give us an idea of what you need to focus on going forward.
1) What is your goal score?
2) When do you plan to apply to Business School?
3) Which Schools are you planning to apply to?
The GMAT has gone through some changes since you last took it. You're now allowed to see your Unofficial Scores BEFORE deciding whether you want to keep the score or cancel and you only have to wait 16 days to retake the Test. The content, patterns, logic, Tactics, etc. are almost all the same as when you last studied, so it's still the same predictable Exam that it's always been (and you CAN train to score at a higher level).
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Thanks for your answer.
I think a realistic goal score for me would be somewhere in the high 600s. I am pretty certain I won't be able to make it over 700 which is actually fine with me.
I will be applying for a PhD program starting in fall of 2017 so I still have time but want to be well-prepared.
Not quite sure what schools to apply to because I want to find a school with a good international management program.
South Carolina won't admit candidates for this area in 2017 so I am thinking maybe Florida and hopefully I will find some other good programs.
Any ideas?
It's interesting to read how the GMAT has changed. Is it still 5 schools that you can have your scores sent to for free?
