Hello all. I'm just beginning my GMAT expedition and am trying to get a good grasp on scheduling/timing of studying and taking the test. I think I need reassurance more than anything.

I'm currently a Junior in undergrad just beginning my second semester. I'm planning buying some books and begin studying on February 1st. I'm thinking about taking the GMAT on April 25th. Does this sound like a doable schedule? I'm planning on just buying the "Official Guide" books and utilizing a bunch of flash cards I found on this site and others.

Any advice anyone could give me in terms of studying, scheduling, book choices/recommendations, hours per week of studying or anything generally would be awesome.

Thanks in advance!

Check that page out for resources, info, and books to buy. Also check out my blog for a view of my journey through GMAT. Keep in mind most schools require a significant amount of work experience so in my mind, taking the GMAT now is not the right time for you unless you plan on applying only to the very few schools that accept people just finishing their undergrad degrees.

Thanks mayonnai5e,

I am applying to schools directly after undergrad. So far I'm looking at Stanford, Yale and Vanderbilt. I know those are three schools that are friendlier to undergrads. Do you know of any other top-30 schools that are in the same category?

"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."
