My Quant strategies for GMAT

Maths has always been the tricky part of the GMAT. The Questions appear to be simpler than they actually are! Yes, this requires some special care and a high level of concentration.

Books that I used -

• Basic GMAT mathematics fundamentals from Princeton review and Official Guide 11

• Kaplan 800 – Good collection of problems

• Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Statistics from class XI and XII mathematics text book
• Official Guide 10 and 11

The key to success in this section depends on your

1. Basics
2. Accuracy
3. Timing (Speed)
4. Concentration

123 strategy as defined in  my earlier verbal strategy post applies for this section as well. Here the 123 becomes 1234 where 4 stands for Concentration

Don’t get carried away with a good score in some full length practice test! Practice is the most effective way of improving and sustaining your good score in the Quant section.

Myths about GMAT

• I have scored 700+ on the GMATPrep and other full length practice test so I would comfortably score 700+ on the actual exam

• Permutation and Combination, Probability questions are usually asked to students scoring high in the quant section

• Bold faced CR questions are a sign of higher difficulty (high score) questions in the verbal section

• The first 5-10 questions are the most important questions and your score depends on how you answered these questions

I will keep updating this post with more myths about the GMAT test. The real facts are for us to find and discuss!
