I'm registered to take the GMAT in late April and started preparing last week. I purchased the Official Guide for GMAT Review 12 ed. and have been working various problems. I have a few questions those with experience can answer and a course of study I would like to have critiqued. My target score is high 5's to low 6's.
Questions
My questions are as follows:
1. Are the practice exams on the GMAT Prep software representative of the actual exam?
2. Do you have adequate room to work problems at the testing center? It is my understanding you are given a dry erase marker and booklet? I would like to mimic testing conditions while studying and taking practice exams on my home PC.
3. Do you feel my target score is achievable with the amount of time available (roughly 2 months and 7 Days) and the course of study below?
4. The programs I am applying to have no stated minimum GMAT score as an admission requirement. Will my target score be competitive in the acceptance process?
Course of Study
1. Practice and review problems and concepts included in the GMAT Official Guide book and The Princeton Review Cracking the GMAT book (required for the course mentioned below) for 1-2 hours daily.
2. I will be meeting with a recently retired mathematics teacher probably 4 times for 2-3 hours over the next couple weeks to clarify some of my questions pertaining to the quantitative material covered on the exam.
3. I'm taking a 5 session GMAT review course starting in March provided by a local university. The course requires use of The Princeton Review Cracking the GMAT book. This course meets weekly for 3 hours an evening and the last session will be the week of my official exam.
Thanks in advance for any answers and insight. Experience is everything and yours is greatly appreciated.
