Hi there, I live in Canada and just in the initial stages of getting the right material for the GMAT test.

I have about a month to study to apply for the one school that I want to go into, I am not looking for those 700 scores since I can't afford Harvard, Yale or Wharton prices.

Actually I am looking for a score of over 620-630, I never disrespect a challange and since i'm not a gifted child, I know I need to still work hard to get to that number.

I am currently working full time (9-17) and with 1 month for studying, what would be the best 'ammo' that you would recommend me to pick up?

Thanks,
Eric

One month is a little tight for prep, but it's certainly doable. One reference I urge you to check out is this post on studying under a month: https://www.beatthegmat.com/how-to-study ... h-t98.html

Good luck, and please don't hesitate to ask us (the community) for help in the next month!

First off, thanks for the response.

Secondly, I need to brush up my long division skills which (dont laugh) I TOTALLY forgot... After grade 5 they give you a calculator and now i'm cursing that fact...

In anycase, where can I pick up all the little tips on long division and other math tricks that I can use during this test? Is the Official Guide a good book for this?

Another question regarding Verbal, in some (or most questions) I can't seem to find anything wrong with the grammar on the other choices, they all sound understandable and right... How do you brush up on that?

Thanks,
Eric

"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."
