GMAT Prep Time

by nosfuerato » Tue Nov 20, 2007 2:52 pm
Hello all - I am new to this forum and have so far found a lot of useful information. I recently decided that I will be going back to school for an MBA at the University of South Carolina. I've spoken with the school and, while they do not have a firm GMAT score requirement, they say that if a candidate gets at least a 600, has a 3.0 GPA in undergrad and has sufficient work experience, they will be accepted. With this goal in mind, how long would it typically take a person to prep for the exam. I plan to dedicate 10 hours of study per week. I know that's a very subjective question but any opinions would be useful for me. Thanks!

I usually recommend 2-3 months. Check out: https://beatthegmat.blocked for an example of what one study schedule could look like.

Good luck!

Are you applying for next fall? If so, you don't really have 2-3 months to study, but you could hit 600 without that. Have you taken a practice test yet? There's a free one on www.review.com that you can take to get a feel for what to expect. It's a good test.

10 hours a week will probably be sufficient. Get the Official Guide and Cracking the GMAT as soon as possible, and download the free GMATPrep tests from www.mba.com.
