Hi Guys,
First off, I would like to thank you all for your helpful posts. I have learned a lot of great information from reading them.
I'd like to give you some background on where I am at in the process of preparing, and then I would like to open it up for feedback.
I originally was going to take the GRE, since I thought more schools were starting to accept it and I had already begun preparing for it when I thought I was going to do a Master's in Science, before I had decided to do my MBA. I later decided just to take the GMAT since some schools still do not accept it.
I currently work in sales and work close to 70 hours a week, leaving little time for studying, let alone sanity
I told my boss a few months back I would be taking the month of December off to study for the GMAT.
I took the Veritas Prep online test prep program, and was pleased with it, but had limited time to work problems outside of class.
I completed it about a month and a half ago, and have been studying intermittently since that time.
Starting today, the 8th, I am planning to begin a rigorous study regimen for the next two weeks until I take the test, on the 23rd.
I realize this is not an ideal time frame, but it was the best I could do in my circumstances.
I would like any advice from forum members who have already taken the test and scored well on how to best use the little amount of time that I have to do the best possible.
I took two practice tests so far, one from Indiana Kelly that they offered for prospective students, and one of the Power Prep tests, although the Power Prep was the old version of the test. I scored a 600 on the Kelly test, and a 162 verbal and 152 quant on power prep.
Thank you very much. And have a Happy Holidays!
