GMAT Success in 6 Weeks

by rjbennett1 » Wed Aug 31, 2011 2:59 am
I need some advice from all of the experts out there. I have the next 6 weeks to study full time to achieve my goal score of 680. I will not be working during this time so I have approximately 8 -10 hours per day to study for the test, which equates to approximately 320 hours of study, which I feel should be sufficient.

I struggle with the math section of the exam and received a 610 the first time i took the test last year.

Would love to hear thoughts on the best books, strategies to use in order to be most efficient with my time and increase my score the greatest.

Tutor?
DVD study such as www.beatthegmat.com?
Or just use textbooks?

I took a PR class the first time around and did not find it very helpful.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

It depends on what your current level is. Download the GMATprep and give a practice exam. It will tell you your current level and areas you need to work on.

Once you know that people can guide you from their. Your target is achievable. Take the first step and get back on this thread and we can help you figure out a strategy from thr!!

Take Care and cheers!!

Thanks for the reply! I got a 580 on the practice test... was solid in the verbal but the whole math section i struggled on so it's difficult to pinpoint specific weaknesses.
