Hello at all.
I am a completely new member from Germany. I am still in my undergraduate studies (3rd year). That means, that this will be my last year (graduating in May 2012). At the moment I am doing 2 exchange semester in the USA in order to improve my English language skills (which aren't really good
).
The main reason is, that I am attending a dual degree program, which means, that I will get a Germany Bachelor and a US Bachelor at the end.
I am a business student, with a major in Finance. My goal is to get into a reputable business school in Europe (Master in Finance or Management. MBA most likely not). This goal is highly competitive for me, because my "GPA" is only average and I also wouldn't consider myself as extraordinary smart. But nevertheless - try and error
In the last few days, I read several threads in this forum. I am quite sure that it will help me a lot, but at the moment, there are too much information out there...so I need some basic advises how to get started
.
1) So far, I didn't made any test to check out in which range I score at the GMAT. My goal is to achieve 650+. Can you give any tips on how much time I should slate for the preparation? As I told you, I am a student, I am sure I can study for a couple of hours every week, but the school keeps me quite busy :S
2) I read through threads in which people recommended books. But I never found a current post in which someone recommended the best/latest books you definitely should have for preparation.
This two questions would be my very first one in this forum. It would be very nice, if someone has an opinion for me. I think getting the books is one of the most basic and important steps for a successful GMAT preparation!? Following that step would be thinking about the right strategy, right?
Best regards,
mott
