I'm a non-business undergrad who is looking to take the exam in 4 weeks.

I am strong in verbal but it looks like I need to tackle quant as I have not taken a math course since my freshman year of college (stats).

The school I am applying to has an average score of 500- does it seem possible for me to score above this mark with only 4 weeks of studying? I'd love to make it closer to 600 to improve my chances...

Do you have a suggestion for compressing studying into 4 weeks? My greatest asset at this point is that I have 8 hours per day in a semi-noisy environment, a computer and free time.

500 is an easy score to get...you could probably get that with almost no studying at all.

If you only have a month I would do Cracking the GMAT, Official Guide, and GMATPrep tests (those tests are free for downloading on www.mba.com).

I also would not spend 8 hours a day...that's just too much and you'll burn out. 3-4 max!

"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."
