When I was young, I loved math. However, my love affair with math hit a sour note in high school. Geometry kicked my butt. In college, I was a decent Statistics’ student. But, at age 32, I have recaptured my love of math, for I now refer to it as my “Holy Grail.” You probably are wondering why my love of math has reappeared! To be honest, studying for the GMAT has recaptured my logical imagination. I love math, even when the problem is hard!

I apologize for the rant. Today, I read the Problem Solving Section of Kaplan’s GMAT Premier Program 2008 Edition Book. If you are not familiar with this workbook, the Problem Solving Section explains how future GMAT students must approach math problems that are not Data Sufficiency questions. At this point, do not worry about Data Sufficiency, if you are not familiar with the term; I will be discussing Data Sufficiency in a few days.

After reading the Problem Solving Section, I decided to take the 50 question quiz. It took me less than 85 minutes to complete the questions. Some of the questions were difficult. Nevertheless, I felt confident that I gave my best effort. I scored 80%. I am pleased by the score, but I must get better!
