Any tips from people who are really comfortable with quant on where I should start my studying? There are a ton of concepts and I would definitely appreciate any advice on what concepts to nail first to get the ball rolling, as well as what concepts link together well.

I would say.... order does not really matter. It also varies person to person. Say for example I find number property tougher than combinatorics. Here are my 2 cents ...
i. Start with GMAT Club book (free pdf & more than enough)
ii. Practice mindfully at various difficulty levels ( move up in diff level 1 by 1...i.e., when you reach 80% in 500 level ... then move to 600 level and so on)

Good Luck !!

Suggest to buy mgmat test prep and take a couple of the practice CATs. They have good analytics that will tell you where to focus. Then you can focus on weakest areas

Hi jazzmilo,

Since you are starting from scratch, the best way to go about your prep is to follow a structured and linear study plan. The good news is that if you use a GMAT quant self-study course, you should be provided with a thorough study plan, so you won’t have to overthink which topics to study and when to study them. To see what is available, check out the GMAT Club reviews for the best quant courses.

If you’d like more specific advice on how to study GMAT quant, feel free to reach back out, and I can provide some further advice. Also, you may find it helpful to read this article about how to improve your GMAT quant score.

Good luck!

Hi there!

I would recommend to follow the mgmat order and using the forum's question bank to drill the concepts. Or else, if you are willing to fork out for a quant course, then Target Test Prep is the best option out there.
