Hello everyone,
Hoping for some advice to put together a reasonable study plan. My goal is a 600-650 (looking at some evening mba programs). Took the gmat in 2004 and didn't fare to well (500: 29Q, 33V), and never pursued a program. Have been out of school for 11yrs now, and I'm ready to give this test/mba goal another try. I work full time and would like to take the test in late 2010/early 2011. I'm hoping to put a couple hrs per day into my preparation. I previously reviewed a kaplan book in 2004, but I blame myself for lack of effort in my prep. I would like to self-study and I'm looking for some books/resources that will give me the biggest bang for my buck. After researching this site and talking to some previous successful test-takers, my plan is to pick up the official guide for gmat review, 12th edition (red), and possibly the og quant and verbal books (green and purple). I'm considering the 8 manhattan strategy guides as well, but want to be realistic with how much time I will have to prepare (with work & family life). Any suggestions (books/online resources)would be greatly appreciated as I have not purchased any study materials yet - and if you have any recommendations on my study prep, I'd gladly take any advice. Thanks in advance!
Matt
