Hey guys, my name is Derek and I'm new to the forums here. I rushed my first GMAT attempt back in the spring of 2011. At the last minute, I decided to apply for the MBA program at a local university, so I didn't have a lot of time to study. I recently decided to re-take the GMAT and apply to ph.d. programs. I am hoping to take the GMAT in a little over a month. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I attempt to crush the GMAT. This forum seems to be a great place for those prepping for the GMAT. Thanks in advance for all the help you guys will offer.
Hi Derek,
Welcome to the BTG forums.
You're certainly not the first person to underestimate the GMAT and rush your prep.
Before you commit to retaking the GMAT in a little over a month, I suggest that you take a free official practice test (test Link
official practice test: https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx)
Doing so will give you an idea of the work required to reach your target score. There are other great reasons to take a practice test early in your studies. They are outlined in this article I wrote for BTG: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2013/05/ ... st-already
Cheers,
Brent
