Hello all,
I am pretty new to this site...as you can imagine, I am overwhelmed. Too many question to be answered....where do I start....Need help!!!
Briefly looked over Eric's 80 day strategy...Looks like, Eric followed Kaplan & Princeton...
First, prep courses are too expensive, are they worth? I am out of college 10 years ago....YEAH! you can say I'm oooold. I was about to apply for MGMAT's online course (my state does not have in-person classes from MGMAT)...but I thought, it's better to self study first to see where I lack. Is that a good idea?
Secondly, Here is my dilemma....from the review at least, it seems like MGMAT books are better. However, these books are the most expensive ones. The whole set of books (along with OGs) are about $224 bucks, where as Princeton's Cracking the GMAT and Kaplan's GMAT Advanced 2009-2010 are at fraction of the cost. Additionally, reviews are not that good. Any advice what to choose from?
I am planning to take the GMAT in couple months...yeah, I don't have time. Adding to the equation, a full time job and a family (w/ two little kids) to attend to.
I just joined a study group locally with another three people, but seems like these guys have books already, some have Kaplan, some have Princeton and other books...I got a feeling that they are not interested in MGMAT books because of huge expense. I am unsure, what kind of a study group it would be, if eveyone decides to study their own books! In any event, my intention to follow the best books and advice the study group as well.
You guys seem like pretty active in the forum...I will stick around for sometime for your review.
Appreciate your help.
