Hi,

I have 7 years of experience in IT and planning to give GMAT by the end of this year. Since been away from education in a way for about 7 years now, I have lost the touch. I will have to start everything from scratch and reach to a level which I am optimistic about.

Having briefed about my background now, I would like to know what materials are the best to start the prep from scratch? like everything from math to verbals everything will have to be started from scratch.. Anybody please guide?

Hi Success1,

It's useful to test your current abilities before you start studying, so that you can get a sense of your "weak" spots. Take one of the FREE CATs offered through MBA.com (the download package includes 2 CATs and some practice problems) and see how you do. The results could be ugly, but that's okay - it usually takes months to prepare for the GMAT, so your first practice attempt likely won't be great.

"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."
