Did not beat the GMAT :(

Hey guys. I've been checking this site out for a while. I've also been studying for the GMAT for several months now. I took the test Saturday and fared poorly. My background: I'm an aspiring grad student who wants to be a CPA. Although I've been out of high school several years, I thought if I studi...

Hey guys, where I'm testing in 1 month, just curious to confirm if the actual GMAT test is harder than GMAT Prep and/or as hard as people say it is? Thanks.

OG 11 - General Studying

Hey guys, I'm exactly two months away from taking my GMAT. Right now, I'm going through OG 11, and am noticing that these problems are challenging. A friend, who took the test, told me that the GMAT is a "tricky" test and to be careful. Being here everyday and reading peoples' stories, his...

Error in OG 11?

Hey guys, correct me if I'm wrong, but take a look in OG 11 (Orange Book) for 3.1 Test # 23 - in the answer section it is stated as I. 24/8,
II. 24/8 and III. 24/8. Shouldn't this be 24/8, 24/12, and 24/18, respectively? Thanks.

Hi Semi, I'm in a similar boat, follow Jim's advice. The only other thing I would suggest, just from preparing myself is that you should not spend too much time reviewing. I know you said you aren't under any time constraints, but I think it will be much more beneficial for you to review what you ne...

Good advice Alex and Jim. I'm in a similar boat in that I'm looking at an MS in Accounting. The state schools are bargains, and the Big Four recruit directly from them. You will still be CPA eligible and have the same career prospects as if you graduated from a prestigious private school. Also, I wa...

Actually, I also need at least a 450 also to get into a state university here in MA. I haven't taken any practice tests yet, but my official test date is Dec 13. My studies are progressing fine, right now I'm going through the OG books, and they are very helpful for reviewing, as everyone says. My i...

I'm strictly looking at MS in Accountancy, slim chance I'll try to squeeze in an MBA somewhere, this depends on how well I do on the GMAT and my finances. I'm eyeing state schools primarily due to cost.
