Hi,
First I would like to say to everyone studying for the GMAT, keep it up. It's definitely a tough test, but one that can be cracked, so keep at it.

Second I'll start by sharing a little about my story. You see I took the first test 5 weeks ago and I ended up with a 610. I primarily used the GMAT Review 12th edition and McGraw Hill prep book. I knew that I was slow in answering the questions even if I know how to answer the majority with more time. So ...

I went out and ordered the 8 MGMAT strategy book along with the practice scratch pad and for good measure the Quantative and Verbal Review. I had to go through Amazon.fr and Amazon.co.uk beacuse some of the books weren't available in the french site. I received them a little over a week later, which allowed me a max of 4 weeks to study for the next sitting. It was the best decision I had taken since I decided to go for the MBA!! I took the sitting 5 weeks after the first, this time in Paris, and ... 710!!

But, I still keep kicking my self. The reason is I didn't actually finish reading all the books, didn't do any of the questions or tests that came with the MGMAT books nor did I finish all the review questions!!! I know if I had more time to finish everything I could've gotten a much higher score. And that's not just something that I could've done, I think that anyone with this set can realistically get 740+

I will not sit it again so I am giving a chance for anyone studying and has 6-8 weeks ahead of him or her to have a complete study guide/strategy set.

The set includes:
- All 8 MGMAT strategy books (4th edition), with none of the online material used. In other words, I NEVER used the registration at all (primarily because I didn`t have the time). They are in excellent condition as I have only had them for 5 weeks. No notes or remarks are written in them.
- The Quantative & Verbal Review 2nd edition (2009) from GMAC. Again they are in excellent condition and no notes or remarks are written in them.
- The practice scratch pad that is identical to what you would use on the GMAT. Comes with the same felt pen used on the exam + 4 other ones (red, blue, green & black)
- The update to the question set recommended from the official GMAC books (2nd edition & 12th edition) for all of the 8 MGMAT books + the MGMAT flash cards printed and bound.
- The GMAT Review 12th edition (2009). This one is a little beat up so it`s just a bonus if you want it.

The set cost me almost 200EUR but I am selling it for 150 even though it`s exactly what you would get if you buy everything new. With this set, all the questions and practice tests that come with it, and 6-8 weeks of dedication is all anyone needs to score 740+

If you`re interested you can reply to this post.
As I mentioned, I live in Paris so I prefer an exchange with a local. If you`re not from Paris we`ll see if we can figure something out.

Cheers!
