hEY ALL,
I am preparingfor the GMAT and plan on appearing for the test by november.
I have MGMT guides, enrolled myself in veritas live online course (which im unable to cope up with). my main problem is managing studies with 2 kids who are pretty demanding.
I really want to get over with gmat and get on with the MBA.
I know alot of people would read this and say if im unable to handle the kids right now how would i with an MBA going on.
For that sake, my husband travels for work and so do we, but by the time im enrolled in an MBA program we'll be settled, my youngest would be going to the toddlers program and i know it would be handled the right way.

I am totally depressed and confused as to what i should do.

Hi red217,

Many GMAT students have demanding professional and personal commitments, so you're not alone. It sounds like you need a prep course that's more in line with your schedule/availability. "Fixed" classes can sometimes be a problem, especially if you miss a class or fall behind in your studies. You might consider switching over to a self-study course. That way you can adapt your studying to your schedule and not have to adapt your schedule to a class. There are plenty of self-study courses to choose from (hint hint: look below this post), but you should check out the various options, try the free samples that are available and find the one that best matches your personality and budget.

Keep your head up. You aren't the first person to be working under these conditions, AND a solution is available.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

You might consider signing up for BTG's free 60-Day Study Guide (https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/gmat-guide).
Each day, you will receive an email with a series of learning activities that guide you, step-by-step, from Day 1 to test day. This will ensure that you will cover everything that the GMAT tests.

Here's an outline of all 60 emails: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/gmat-guide-outline

IMPORTANT: The Guide requires a big time commitment each day (2 to 4 hours). However, you need not worry. Just devote 2 or 3 days to completing a day's worth of learning activities.

Cheers,
Brent

Red217 -

You can contact me though a PM and we can discuss how to get the most out of your Veritas course. Remember, you have lots of resources beyond the class sessions themselves. If you are not getting what you need let me know and I can help. I know that two sessions per week and all of the homework can be a lot but you have options!

"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."
