I need some advice from all of the experts out there. I have the next 6 weeks to study full time to achieve my goal score of 680. I will not be working during this time so I have approximately 8 -10 hours per day to study for the test, which equates to approximately 320 hours of study, which I feel should be sufficient.

I struggle with the math section of the exam and received a 610 the first time i took the test last year.

Would love to hear thoughts on the best books, strategies to use in order to be most efficient with my time and increase my score the greatest.

Tutor?
DVD study such as www.beatthegmat.com?
Or just use textbooks?

I took a PR class the first time around and did not find it very helpful.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks for the reply! I got a 580 on the practice test... was solid in the verbal but the whole math section i struggled on so it's difficult to pinpoint specific weaknesses.

"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."
