3 ways to improve your math skills - GMAT math tips


Math is tough for some of us.

The reason - The way, math was taught to us in school or college.

Can it be mastered now?

GMAT  mainly tests your mathematical reasoning.

Your ability to 

  • reason with numbers and symbols.
  • apply principles/formula and solve questions
  • evaluate cases or arguments
  • strategize for a solution
  • identify patterns and use logic

So how we do work on our math skills. Here are 3 ways, which can help you hone your general math skills


1.Make math part of your daily life... practice it without even thinking


For example, if a dress that’s regularly $50 is on sale for 30% off, what is the sale price?  

Do simple calculation.

Or if you have to travel 20 miles. You are going at a speed of 20 miles per hour. How long will you take?


2.Use mental math everyday

20+30+45+60 = ??? don’t use calculator.

What is 15 squared or what is 20 squared…

Everyday spend 5 - 10 minutes working on basic computation


 

3.Practice diagramming

Always picture a math problem.

Make few circles/ draw connections/ some stick figures….

Here are sample images for math problems

Happy learning...
