GMAT prep....please guide!

by Success1 » Thu Jul 18, 2013 2:02 am

Hi,

I have 7 years of experience in IT and planning to give GMAT by the end of this year. Since been away from education in a way for about 7 years now, I have lost the touch. I will have to start everything from scratch and reach to a level which I am optimistic about.

Having briefed about my background now, I would like to know what materials are the best to start the prep from scratch? like everything from math to verbals everything will have to be started from scratch.. Anybody please guide?

Hi Success1,

It's useful to test your current abilities before you start studying, so that you can get a sense of your "weak" spots. Take one of the FREE CATs offered through MBA.com (the download package includes 2 CATs and some practice problems) and see how you do. The results could be ugly, but that's okay - it usually takes months to prepare for the GMAT, so your first practice attempt likely won't be great.
