How do I study for GMAT Quant if I'm really struggling with the basics?
Asked by Kritika Oberoi 3 months ago
If GMAT Quant basics feel tough, the best approach is to relearn concepts one at a time, not revise everything at once.
Pick a topic like percentages or ratios and study it using simple explainer videos. Follow up by solving 5–10 basic questions daily until you stop making the same errors. Avoid full-length mocks too early. They don’t help if your foundation is weak. Instead, focus on mastering one topic before moving to the next.
Use beginner-friendly platforms like Mentr- me or TTP. These break topics down clearly and guide your progress gradually. Also, try spending 10 minutes a day on mental math. Apps like Math Tricks or simple pen-and-paper drills will help you improve speed without sacrificing accuracy.
Progress in GMAT Quant comes from consistency, not cramming. Stick to one goal at a time and build your way up.
