Hey,

I'm a new member here, and I've read some of the problem solving questions with terror. I've never really been a math genius.
Is anyone else here on the same boat with me, and if so, what kind of scores have you got?
Anyone got any tips on how to improve my math skills in the shortest possible period of time?
Any particular subjects that would help me get further?

Thanks!
Musicat

GMAT tests you on certain concepts/fundamentals that you can build by following a book/course.

1. Have you been following any preparatory course/book?
2. How long have you been studying?
3. When do you plan to give the GMAT?

To start off, you can focus on Number System, Algebra and Geometry. These topics constitute of a large portion of the problems on the GMAT.

You need to build the concepts/fundamentals before you jump in solving the problems. You can do so by choosing one of the following ways:

1. In person classes/private tutoring
2. Online classes
3. Self paced online preparatory course
4. Book heavy approach

Whatever you choose, make sure that you choose one. Because GMAT tests you on some concepts and fundamentals that you can learn from a course. Most of the preparatory companies including ours offer a free trial of our course. You can take the trial and see if the course suits your needs.
In addition to the preparatory material, buy the Official Guides(both the Official Guide and the Verbal Review), Question Pack 1 and the 4 official mock CATs. They should be an indispensable part of your preparation.

You need close to 3 months to prepare well for the GMAT.

1. Understand the concepts and fundamentals before jumping into problem solving
2. Solve full length CATs including AWA and IR. You can get two free GMAT Prep mock CATs and can purchase two more from mba.com
3. Make sure you solve the official questions from the Official Guide
