Re: GMAT Math help
96% math
60% english = 640 i got a 5.5 on essay though... Took gmat maybe 6 years ago if not more, hardly studied but i definitely regret not studying for all that dumb english grammar, which easily cost me a 700+ score To study properly i suggest just doing a few practice tests, that ought to suffice

Meaning you probably know how to solve the problem but you still gotta do like 124858 X 858585 and then .378348/904933 type of stuff to get the answer.

Re: GMAT Math help
Backsolving is the way to go for a lot of the GMAT math questions. Since the GMAT people usually list the choices in ascending order, start with C. From there you can usually eliminate 1/2 the remaining answers depending if the difference is too high or low.

Also, I was pretty rusty on math as well before I did mine so I took one of those prep courses and they teach you a lot of shortcuts for specific types of problems. Of course I don't remember any of them now, but if you have a review book or something like that there should be at least some info in there on how to deal. Plus, I'm pretty sure I took the GMAT on a computer and there was a built in calculator so not sure why that's a problem.
