Hi all,
I am planing to apply to a top tier business school with an application deadline in mid-July. The 80% intake range is 650-730, so I guess I need to score in the range of 700 to have a decent chance of acceptance.
So far, I have been browsing forums to plan my preparation... My weakness is math (simply dont remember the material too well... out of school for 11 years), so I have bought the Kaplan Math workbook to refresh the basic concepts. Additionally, I am planning to use the OG 11, the Manhattan GMAT sentence correction, the Kaplan book and maybe later Kaplan 800. Having read many positive comments about these books, I am also considering ordering the remaining Manhattan GMAT prep books. Am I missing any key materials here?
Crucially though, I am now at the point where I have to decide whether to take a course or not, and I think the Manhattan GMAT course looks promising, though I live in Europe and would have to take it online. Has anyone done/is anyone doing the Manhattan online course? Is it worth the time and cost, or would it be more efficient to focus on self-study alone?
I will be leaving my job within the next two weeks and wil have plenty of time to study for the GMAT. I did a GMAT prep test early last year before revising any math sections and scored 540 I think (with weak Q score) so I will need +160 points in the real thing.
I would appreciate any advice, especially regarding Manhattan's course.
1000 Thanks and good luck all!
