2 month study plan for GMAT for arts/humanities students focuses mainly on the quant section. GMAT study schedules are mostly created for every kind of aspirant. But there are numerous GMAT aspirants coming from humanities backgrounds who slightly lag behind in the quant section. This GMAT planner is created with a balanced focus on both quant and verbal but slightly more on the former.
How Hard is GMAT Quant?
Before beginning let us provide the arts/humanities candidates an idea of whether they should even worry about the GMAT quant section. Firstly, the GMAT quant is mostly about logic and hardly involves calculation. This makes those candidates stress a little less about mugging up formulas as majorly the reasonable talent is needed (which most of the candidates possess). The GMAT quant section is majorly based on high-school mathematical topics like algebra, arithmetic, geometry, and word problems. This involves mostly the fundamental math knowledge and if you’ve trouble understanding that then beginning your GMAT preparation a month earlier will help too.
