I've just decided to apply to B-schools and have about 5-6 weeks to study for the GMAT and complete my applications. Also, I'm not currently working so I have the whole day open to study. I just took a practice exam and got a 540, but I need to get at least a 700. Is this enough time? Would an online course be the most efficient prep mode, or should i just dive right into the books and practice tests? Thanks

I would start with self prep and see how you do. I wouldn't recommend studying ALL day, though. Maybe a few hours in the morning and a few hours later in the day, but not like a real work day, you know?

What was the practice exam that you took, btw?

I would start with Cracking the GMAT. It has the best review of the GMAT (IMO). Go all the way through it before you take another practice test. After you take another 2-3 tests, if you're not improving, then yeah, an online course would probably be a good idea.

Thanks for the tips. The practice test was through Manhattan GMAT.

"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."
