Hi all,
I just recently completed the CPA exam which took more than 10 months. Needless to say, I'm used to studying endless hours, 5-6 days a week after work. I'm curious, though, how long does someone usually study for the GMAT? I know this can vary significantly from person to person, but is it common to study 2 months, 4 months, 6 months or more? I'm trying to develop a little strategic plan for when I'm actually going to try and apply to grad school. I REALLY want to get my applications out to start in Fall 2012, but the more I look at it, it appears that I only have a little over 2 months to study for the GMAT, take it, and complete all of my applications before the late Sept/Oct deadlines start hitting for my target schools.
Does starting completely cold with only about 8 weeks (I work 40+ hrs a week) to prepare seem like I'm going to be rushing it?
I plan to purchase the Manhattan GMAT course books as well as some other supplemental items.
