I have no idea what GMAT is and how it is scored, but recently I decide to take a test because I plan to compete for the admission which is really a brutal fight!
I plan to take the test in Nov 2008.
Awaiting your valuable information with thanks.

Hi,

Since you're starting from scratch, I'd recommend going out and buying a GMAT prep guide from one of the reputable test prep companies. There will be a long introductory section that can tell you how GMAT scores work and what topics you'll see on the test. You'll also get loads of practice problems and tips on how to approach them.

Also, go to mba.com (the website of the folks who make the GMAT). You'll get more info there, and be able to take two free practice exams to get a feel for how the test works.

Happy studying!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
