Just to add in a bit to these answers. Came across a great online resource for the GMAT exam. Comes straight from an MBA program and offers a lot of interesting insights and tips. Here is the link so you can check it out: https://onlinemba.wsu.edu/resources/mba/infographics/10-tips-to-help-you-prepare-for-the-gmat-exam/
Gene,
She studied every night, 2 to 3 hours for 3 months. Constant repetition of example questions. Over, and over, and over.
That's how you ace the GMAT.
@ Joe, I haven;t taken undergraduate courses or basic math courses in several years so my basic math is a bit spotty. Did you have a specific strategy when you took the test and/or take a few practice tests before you took it?
@ Craig. May I ask what your wife's study regimen was? Chances are my basic math skills are probably not as good as hers. LOL
I did ok the first time I took it. I was always ok at math but never great. I'll have to take a few sample tests and see how I do.
I took the GMAT cold- without any preparation or even knowing what was on it. I did well enough (85th percentile) but what really hurt me was the basic algebra and geometry that I had not taken since 8th grade. Most other aspects are something you will be familiar with if you have recently taken college classes and written papers. However, the math portion draws upon things you will never have seen since middle school.

Gene,
If you speak Mandarin (from your last name, odds are you do), there's literally tons of help on http://www.mitbbs.com. My wife, who speaks it, was able to download just all sorts of test prep materials on line for free. I think she studied for maybe 2 or 3 months, and aced it. 99% percentile.

Gene,
The Khan academy website I referenced to you does everything from algebra, trig all the way into differential equations. It's a good resource and the lectures make sense. Here are some other good math help resources:
Thanks everyone. I actually already took the GMAT several years ago and already in B-School. I am trying to help out a few of my marines thinking about going to B-School and brush up on my basic math as well. I might take the test again for moral support. How long did it take you to study for the GMAT Loretta? I believe it took me about 2-3 months on my end. Can't remember half of that mess though. HA
Hi Gene, I completed my GMAT a few years ago and I used an excellent book that I would highly recommend. There is a newer version that came out last year that has even more features.
Kaplan GMAT Premier 2014 with 6 Practice Tests: book + online + DVD + mobile
You can take the prep tests online and they are so very similar to the real thing that you will feel very comfortable when the time comes to take the real test. I past with plenty of breathing room.
This test is mostly about being prepared to take the exam since so much of the information is general knowledge.
I am sure you will do great. Let me know if I can help in any way.
Thanks, Loretta

There is a bunch of stuff on youtube that can help you. Khan Academy would be a good place too look. They have a youtube channel and a website. Google "MIT Open Courseware" and you'll have access to online lectures to top Ivey League schools that may help you prepare for the GMAT. This is all free by the way. I just completed my Army-College-Career transition, so if you need help, just ask.
