How did you prepare the last time?

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

Focus on any areas of weakness. Spend more time with it.
Have you tried attending classes(online/offline)? They could help you prepare for the test rather than read books and do self study alone.

I'll just say 1 line, take it seriously:
Don't give the GMAT until you have gone through ALL of Manhattan GMAT's 8 strategy guides in good detail and done the suggested OG problems!

Goodluck

Thanks for the response.
Actually I did a self study at the same time I was preparing for CISA exams. Fortunate is I passed the CISA exams and failed on GMAT. So according to your advise I should concentrate much on areas of weakness. Here in Tanzania there are no Tuition provider of GMAT so the only and best option is to do a self study.

I have been using Princetown Kit, Manhattan and Kaplan and a litle bit of Official Guide from GMAC.

If you feel that a class would be helpful, there are many options for online courses, live or recorded (Manhattan GMAT, Princeton Review, Veritas, Knewton...)

If you want more personalized attention, you can also get tutoring online: GMATFix, Manhattan GMAT, and GmatNinja definitely offer this option.

Best of luck!

"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."
