There is no fixed rule that can determine the time required for the prep. It varies from one person to the other. It might take 6 months and I would not be surprised if you score well after 4 weeks of prep. I would suggest you take a practice test and see where you stand vis a vis your target score. From there on we can make a plan you can work on.

Agree with Prasanna. Most people take 3-4 months of regular study (every day) but some take less time and some take more. Research the schools to which you want to apply and find out what kinds of scores those schools consider "good" scores. Take a practice test to see where you fall before doing ANY prep and then use the resources here to build a study plan.

"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."
