Dear All!

I've to HAND IN my Gmat score by the deadline 30th of april, I've just discovered :roll:

So now I'm planning to start a schedule for having the exam done and the result on hand by that date (it takes 20 days for the scores to get delivered to the Bschool right??

: )

Since I'll also have to do 3 exams for my undergraduate corse at beginning of April I've to concentrate now for this £$/%$ Gmat

Reading out the many posts on beatthegmat.com I'm planning to buy only the Yelllow OG guide 11 edition (even though the 12 will be out by mid march :twisted: ) and the Crack the Gmat PR 2009. Since these books count 1000 pages all together I do not think I can make it to do more books, so I think it's not worth even buying them.

I'd like to ask all of you GmatBeaters if you think these 2 books are enough and how should I start planning my GmatBeating Strategy.

I really thank you for all your support,

Waiting for your replies!

Simon

Hi Simon,

I myself am new to this but have done about 1 month of research and general reading on the internet about the best books, classes, methods, etc. Overall, I think you're going down the right path with getting the OG books as that is on everyone's must have list.

The most reoccuring comment about the books is that in reality, you could have the best prep material money can buy and it wouldn't matter. What will really make you succeed is cpmpleting practice problems religiously and understanding your weaknesses. Become best friends with your 'weaknesses' and correct them and make them stronger. Understand why you got a problem wrong and how to fix it.

I hope this helps! Keep us updated on your progress

BTW, are you from Italy (it says something about it in your sig). I used to live there and absolutely miss it everyday!

thanks to all

"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."
