NewspeakIt's high school math. Get the MGMAT guides to refresh. It's basic algebra/geometry/word problems/etc. The only reason it's difficult is that you only get 2 minutes per question so you have to memorize shortcuts and do practice problems/CATs.

Spot on.

surferbarneyQuestion on what type if math is on gmat. Ran the mill of math in school, up to linear algebra and stats/prob basics. What type should a person focus on to study for test?

Its fairly straightforward high school math. Basic algebra (wont go beyond quadratic eqns, geometry, word problems etc.) Either get Manhattan GMAT or Kaplan and make sure you spend at least 2-3 months preparing. Also make sure you use the free tests you get when you sign up for the test from mba.com. I have been tutoring for the GMATs for 5 years and in my experience it takes about 3 months of dedicated prep and TONS of practice to get a good score.
