GMAT Strategy

Hi Yusif,

To get an idea of the required prep time, take an official practice test: https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx
It may be the case that you're already scoring above your target score, in which case you may not need to prepare at all .
Or it may be the case that you're hundreds of points away from your target score, in which case it may take several months to reach your target score.

If anyone is interested, I wrote an article on the importance of taking a practice test early in one's studies: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2013/05/ ... st-already

Cheers,

Hi Yusif,

Most Test Takers need 3 months of study time (or more) to hit their peak scores (with 10-15 hours per week of consistent study time).

It would be a good idea to take a FULL LENGTH practice CAT exam so that you can establish a "baseline" score and get a sense of your strengths and weaknesses. You can download 2 free CATs from www.mba.com. A full CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take one. Once you have your score results, you should post back here for additional advice.
