After graduating with a degree in Philosophy, spending a few years in a business environment, the only thing that is going to move my career forward is further education in something more tangible and with greater perceived value - an MBA.
Obviously coming from a non STEM background the Quant (math) section of the GMAT is going to be what needs the most attention
Luckily I did take some math in high school and am a quick learner, so my math skills are coming back.
I signed up for an online prep resource called Magoosh, really, really awesome resource. Hundreds of videos for each section and in depth explanations for anything math related. It is really helping me grasp the fundamentals.
I've been at it for about a month, first working through all the Quant resources on the Magoosh page to build my foundation. I've worked through a couple hundred of their practice questions and keep a journal / error log for anything I get wrong or concepts I find confusing.
I started tackling the problems in the Official Gmat Guide 15 and am doing fairly well throughout all the math sections, getting at least 75% of them correct, and the ones I get wrong it is usually a simple mistake or a trick due to the question complexity.
Any successful GMAT test takers on the board? Did you find the content on the test about the same level of difficulty as what was in the book?? Any other resources I should be using???
