I hope to take the GMAT in Dec 2009, and plan for a score of 750. My goal is a Phd in Business at Harvard.

A little brief about me. I have a Bachelors in Computer Engr, a Msc in Computer Science, and about 4 years working experience in the Oil & Gas Industry.

Wish me well, and I will try to keep you updated as my plan rolls off.

Ok, So I took March 4, 2009 as Day 1 of my 750-HBS Plan!

I spent 3 hours going over posts by all the guys who scored 750 and above on this forum and also on https://outbeat-the-gmat.blocked/.

Based on those posts, I ordered the following books;

Doing Grammar

Cracking the GMAT with DVD, 2009 Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation)

Kaplan GMAT Premier Program, 2009 (Book & CD-ROM)

The PowerScore GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible: A Comprehensive System for Attacking the GMAT Critical Reasoning Questions

Kaplan GMAT Advanced 2009-2010 Edition: Intensive Prep for Top Students (Kaplan Gmat 800)

8 Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guides, the 3 Official Guides for GMAT Review, and the Manhattan GMAT Test Simulation Booklet.

My plan (God-willing) is to spend 2 hours daily during the week ,and 3 hours on weekend days working on th GMAT prep (except travel days as I do a lot of travel in my line of work).
I am fairly strong in Verbal/SC, so my focus for the initial 4 weeks will be on my Quantitative.

"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."
