Math towards an MBA future.
November 17, 2007 - 9:46pm — celts050
I am a sophomore in college and currently in a college of business. I am attempting to pursue an MBA in graduate school. What is the highest level of math required for an MBA? What is the higest level of math that will help in a career post-college? I want to go as far as I possibly can in math and want to know if it is worth it?

You'll need to know algebra,
You'll need to know algebra, geometry and probability. The concepts are basic, but the GMAT will make the questions as tricky as possible, if you are talented in math. Because the test is computer adaptive, you can get as many as 5 math questions wrong and still obtain a perfect score in Math. For a sampling of math GMAT questions, http://www.testsandtutors.com has hundreds of free GMAT quant problems. Good luck on your studies.
Translating
Translating equations to word problems, and vice versa, is another KEY skill you need to know for the math portion of the GMAT.
