Gmat Official Guide

by sandlegion » Wed Aug 19, 2009 5:55 am
Hi there, I live in Canada and just in the initial stages of getting the right material for the GMAT test.

I have about a month to study to apply for the one school that I want to go into, I am not looking for those 700 scores since I can't afford Harvard, Yale or Wharton prices.

Actually I am looking for a score of over 620-630, I never disrespect a challange and since i'm not a gifted child, I know I need to still work hard to get to that number.

I am currently working full time (9-17) and with 1 month for studying, what would be the best 'ammo' that you would recommend me to pick up?


Thanks,
Eric

One month is a little tight for prep, but it's certainly doable. One reference I urge you to check out is this post on studying under a month: https://www.beatthegmat.com/how-to-study ... h-t98.html

Good luck, and please don't hesitate to ask us (the community) for help in the next month!

First off, thanks for the response.

Secondly, I need to brush up my long division skills which (dont laugh) I TOTALLY forgot... After grade 5 they give you a calculator and now i'm cursing that fact...

In anycase, where can I pick up all the little tips on long division and other math tricks that I can use during this test? Is the Official Guide a good book for this?

Another question regarding Verbal, in some (or most questions) I can't seem to find anything wrong with the grammar on the other choices, they all sound understandable and right... How do you brush up on that?


Thanks,
Eric
