I have many friends who read courses in the Humanities that complain about the compulsoriness of Maths in most of the competitive bank and oil company tests they have to write to secure blue-chip jobs. Having gone through school without having to do Maths, they are overwhelmed with having to pass it now. For all you Nairalanders who are similarly troubled, I have this advice: Go and buy New General Maths JSS1 textbook from any secondhand bookseller; then read it through. After that, sell the book back to him and buy the JSS2 version, and so on, till SS3. I tell you, if you have the humility and the patience to do this, you will sharpen your Maths skills and be able to approach all tests with increased confidence. God help us all! And by the way, I have started doing this. I am on the JSS3 version now - and my skills are improving rapidly. One love.

Nice advice. Infact, I have a GMAt textbook which I stdy everyday and I have found out that what helps get over some quantitative reasoning questions is my little knowledge of secondary, even primary school mathematics. So fellow nairalanders, for those who find the numeria reasoning part difficult to solve, the solution is to go back to the basics i.e. go back to primary and secondary school arithmetics. it will help solve some of the problems.

Thanks a million, Prom - it appears you're a humble and patient one. We need more like you!
