Well, it just doesn't have to be that way. This book will make certain that you become fully versed in the essential quant fundamentals that will position you to master the vast majority of 500-600 level questions on the GMAT quant section. Due to the adaptive nature of the GMAT, you must first fully master these foundational levels before concerning yourself with more difficult problems involving things like permutations, combinations, probability and overlapping sets. Why? Because the test won't even ask you the more difficult questions until you're getting the easier ones correct first.
My name is Steven Brachman, and since 2008, I've helped hundreds of GMAT students reach their goals.
