I am preparing to begin my MBA at a top 25 (barely) school this fall and I am eager to be as prepared as possible. I have five years of very good project management experience, but it has been almost ten years since I have taken calculus (I took AP calculus in HS). I scored in the 97th percentile in the verbal section of the GMAT, however, only 60th percentile in quant. This makes me nervous. I am reasonably skilled in math/algebra, but I have used a calculator as a crutch for years.

Should I take a calculus/math refresher course this summer?
Are there any books (besides my school’s required reading) that would be generally helpful?

I did not take my undergrad studies very seriously, but have matured significantly during my few years in the real world. I am eager to give my graduate studies 110% and looking to prepare as much as possible this summer.

Thanks in advance for the advice.
