Much depends on where you stand today. I would suggest you take up a practice test preferable GMAT prep (from mba.com) and see your score. You could take the prep test after couple of weeks of prep, where in you can get yourself familiar with the question types and no of questions etc..Once you know where you stand..you can better plan to reach your target score.

Most people take 2-3 months but agree with Prasanna - you need to see where you stand now and how that compares with where you want to be.

"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."
