Hey everyone!
I am new here and wanted to get some advice on how to tackle the quantitative section! Math has never been my strong point at all, which is why I graduated with a B.S. degree in Human Biology (lol). I bought the Official GMAT Review books, but had a hard time doing most of the problems in this section because I forgotten most the material (except for basic Algebra). The problem I see with this book is that its not really a "refresher" and it pretty much brings you straight to the problem questions with a few pages of notes on each math subject used. I looked around and seems like everyone is recommending the Manhattan books as a key set to a refresher course for the quantitative section. Should I get this book set?
English is my native language, so I think I will be fine with the verbal section. However, most of the math section is really concerning for me and I know I will need to spend at least a month studying it. Right now, I am aiming for 4-6 hours a day of studying (5-6 days a week) for a month until I am confident. Then another month going over the verbal section and reviewing everything I've learned. I haven't scheduled my GMAT test yet, but I do want to apply for some local schools by June and want to score at least a 680-700.
If anyone has any advice and study tips, please let me know!.

Hi Justin,
Two months is pretty quick to go from zero to proficient in the Quant but if you can really dedicate yourself it is certainly possible. If you're not going to take a class or hire a tutor then then the Manhattan books are a pretty good option. On the positive side the MGMAT books are pretty exhaustive and if you study the entire set you probably won't be missing any fundamentals but that said they are also long winded so there's probably a bunch of stuff in their that's not so important for you. But hey, nothing is perfect. With the books you also get access to the MGMAT practice tests and at least for Quant they are very helpful.
In addition there is a lot of good stuff on the forums. Generally you can Google the first bunch of words from any official GMAT question and find a pretty good explanation.
I'm releasing an 11 week GMAT schedule. It assumes some basic math proficiency from the start but maybe the structure and the organizational ideas will be helpful to you: https://atlanticgmat.com/gmat-schedule-intro/
Getting your Quant up and running is going to a challenge and it may take a second for things to click. That's normal for people who haven't done math in a while. Just stay organized and stick with it.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Happy Studies,
A.

Forgot to mention that GMATclub has a Quant book: https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-math-book-87417.html It has some good stuff although it has a lot less explanation than the MGMAT set. But it's free:)
