I currently have been studying off and on for about a month and a half. I have to take the test in 25 days and I told myself that the last month I would get more intense. So I have gone from devoting ~2 hours a day to about 4 hours a day. I took my first practice exam (princeton Review) and I only got a 490. I need to improve 60 points over the next 25 days. Is this possible? I got a 29 V and a 29 Q. RIght now I am going through Mcgraw-Hills's 2013 edition GMAT book. I do not have a lot of disposable income at the moment so I was just wondering if anyone could suggest any good free online help that could push my score above 550.

A 60-point increase over the next 25 days is definitely attainable. The important thing to do now is analyze each practice test to identify your weaknesses (gaps in content knowledge and/or test-taking skills such as time-management and endurance). Then work on those areas.

If you're looking for free resources, we (GMAT Prep Now) have plenty, including complete (and free) modules covering Data Sufficiency, Reading Comprehension and AWA. We also have free video lessons throughout our site.

Cheers,
Brent

"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."
