Hello Everybody!

So a bit of a background, I have very low GPA, from my undergraduate (2.69) and I want to get into a Masters in Accounting program at the Golden Gate University here in San Francisco and if I get a good GMAT score, I'll improve my chance of getting in. I know it's not a top school so I probably don't need anything close to 700+ to get in, but I figured, if I'm going to take the GMAT, I might as well aim for a high score. Who knows, I might be able to use it to get into a good MBA program in a couple of years.

I just bought all 8 of Manhattan GMAT books from Amazon as well as the OG. Do you guys think that should be enough for me to study or should I get one of General Strategy books like the Kaplan Live Online? And for those who have used the Manhattan books, how many months should I allot to studying and how many hours a week? I haven't taken one of the practice tests yet but I'm usually a pretty good test taker.

Thanks a lot!

Go to GMAT's official website, download the free prep software, and take the first practice test.

After you finish, thoroughly review which questions you got wrong, why you got them wrong, and the type (PS, DS, RC, CR, or SC).

Report back here, and then we can help develop a study plan.

There's just currently no way to know how much help you need, where you need help, and what resources are best for you if we don't know where you're baselining (initial score), and where your weaknesses are.
