Hi All, I have just registered for GMAT which is due on May 14, 2015. I have only 36 days in my hand. I am already a phd student but want to enroll in a better school where the requirement is 700+. This would be my first GMAT attempt. Previously I took GRE and obtained 316, the GMAT equivalent of which is 630. So please guide me about the GMAT preparation strategy - from where to start, how much time I should spend everyday, which books must be covered in this short period of time etc. This score is very very important for me. So I am sincerely looking for your help.

Thank you, TBidi

Hello,

I agree with Rich, the general strategy forums will have more robust information on your question. I would of course recommend taking a look at the official prep materials here: https://www.mba.com/store, as well as the other prep strategy advice around our website. If you have any questions about the exam or our policies, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jeremy

"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."
