I have put off my dream of getting an MBA for years because I am intimidated by the Math section of the GMAT.
There, I finally admitted it. I would never admit it to my family members who keep asking me at every thanksgiving and christmas dinner what the hold up is. They even call and ask on Easter and Mothers day now since my much younger cousin got admitted to HBS straight out of college (no work experience... the wanker! But in his defense... he had a 780).
I'm 32 and I have two business schools that I have dreams of attending (one or the other). The thing is that theyre pretty competitive and while I have a great undergraduate GPA, a great GPA from the online masters degree I got a few years ago, and an impressive resume for my age group, I feel that I need to score at least a 700 to be competitive for the schools I want to attend (Im only incurring additional student debt for those two... no one else LOL). I put myself on a timeline (because I work well in a crunch). I have to take the GMAT before 01/01/15 to make the final round of applications in April 2015. I signed up for the Kaplan Test Prep (and it was painful giving them my debit card number for that much money LOL).
Why am I intimidated by the Math section?
I never took Geometry in high school or college. Like most business majors, all I needed was algebra.... then business calc, which was another fancy word for more algebra. I look at the test prep books and the stuff looks like greek to me. I NEED HELP, GUIDANCE, FEEDBACK, A SLAP ON THE BACK OF MY NECK... Whatever you have that would help me achieve my goal. I have blocked out two hours every night and the weekends to do my studying. The GMAT class starts on the 28th of October. Im determined but I just need some advice. I appreciate the time you're taking out of your day to answer my questions and give me some feedback. THANK YOU!!!!!

So much fear for Math!!!!
Don't be afraid...here is the thing with GMAT... There are various ways in which you can score a 700 on GMAT..
700: M 45, V:41
700: M:44,V:43
700: M47, V:39...

So..gauge how good you are in Verbal...If you can score consistently over 35...You can definitely work on Math and try and score a 47 on Math...
Few things that I will recommend from which I have benefitted..
* Be active on GMATClUB Math forum...If you have a doubt then first use search option if the question for which you have query has been answered before...If not, post a new one..
* Is Geomtery the only problem area...Then you need not worry because it is not that it gets heavily tested..You have the course from Kaplan and if you are not satisfied with questions there or don't see an improvement, I would definitely recommend GMATCLUB Math tests...You can start by doing 500,600 level questions and then move upwards...
* Make a error log for your mistakes and a notebook for Math to study various concepts.
* Please follow Bunuel and VeritasprepKarishma...They answer questions on various forum (Bunuel mostly maths) and you can daily email from Gmat club...Attempt those questions and see how is your approach compared to theirs and what you can learn...
* Note that GMAT is also about timing so you need to know weak areas and know when to move to next question one you realize the question is indeed tough for you...Don't sit on it...Don't make it personal..
* You can score a 49 on Math with 10 mistakes and that too out of 37 questions... check this out

Don't be bogged down...Put your queries on the forum no matter how stupid your doubt is or how basic the question is...You will get a reply
Good Luck!!

Is there a 500/600 level math section? Ive been looking. I have seen 700 level questions but I feel I need to start from the bottom building my skill set and confidence before I tackle those. I dont test in GMAT till December so I have a little time to do this.
