Study Group in Austin for 2016 GMAT

by gigilau89 » Tue Jun 07, 2016 6:11 pm
Anyone in Austin interest in meeting up to study for 2016 GMAT? I'm planning to take mine September/early October 2016 so would like to meet up with anyone planning to take the exam around that time frame too. I live downtown Austin so I can meet around downtown or UT area week nights and pretty much any where on the weekends.

I use Manhattan GMAT and Magoosh GMAT to study along with the OG for practice.

Hi gigilau89

Seems like you are starting on your GMAT prep. Looking for a partner is a good way to keep yourself motivated.
Keep the following things in mind during you preparation:

1. Understand the concepts and fundamentals before jumping into problem solving
2. Solve full length CATs including AWA and IR. You can get two free GMAT Prep mock CATs and can purchase two more from mba.com
3. Make sure you solve the official questions from the Official Guide
4. Make sure you follow a preparatory course. It may be a book, online course or tutoring. But make sure that you go through the concepts first
5. You need 3 - 4 months to prepare for the GMAT.
