730 (Q49, V41) My first GMAT... a thrilling experience!

I think the test would probably be easier if you have been studying since you'd have been reading and doing math problems, and you'd have better focus than people who have been out of school for a long time, like me! The mentality is very different, and I find it hard to focus, but I'm working on it.

This is EXACTLY the point I was going to outline.

I don't understand people without math basis who are cramming on math and formulas for some month before giving GMAT. If one doesn't have basis on math and quantitative reasoning, he/she will probably fail, no matter how much cramming. And even if he/she passes GMAT, will be in trouble during MBA or whatever "quantitative" course will attend.

However, as you correctly pointed out, working on focus and time management skills is a quite feasible and reasonable solution.
