Struggling bad even after watching all Magoosh quant lesson videos : Magoosh

To begin with, I have always been very weak in math. I started my GMAT journey about 4 months ago keeping the fall 2021 session in mind. My target score is around 580-600. However, I am still getting most of the questions wrong. When I watched all the video lessons, I understood the theory, took notes, and was even able to answer most of the in-video practice questions. However, when I try to practice, I just cannot solve most of the problems. Also, now that it has been 4 months, I keep forgetting tricks and formulas.

I was aiming to write my exam by end of April. Only about 1.5 months left. Not sure what to do. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Should I stick to Magoosh or try something else like TTP, etc? I have heard a lot about how good TTP is for quant, but I feel most of the students scoring well, already a decent quant foundation. Also due to my shortage of time, I am even more confused I should try a new course or not.

Hey there,

I know it's been a while, but if you're still looking for some foundational math work, Manhattan Prep recently made its "Foundations of GMAT Math" course completely free: https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/prep ... gmat-math/

This is a 7 hour course (either one day with a lunch break, or two days of 3.5 hours) that talks about the foundations of math from a GMAT mindset. I'll actually be teaching one this Sunday.

An important thing to note is there aren't 'tricks' to math. You can't learn 'tricks.' I know you mean that word pretty casually, but it's a process and thinking style that can be cultivated and practiced.
