Hi,

I'm about to embark upon a frugal study approach for the GMAT. I just bought MGMAT study guides off of Craigslist, but the unique codes have already expired. I was wondering if there was anybody out there that has already "beat the GMAT" that wouldn't mind sharing their login information with me. From what I've researched, MGMAT is the bet prep program out there, and I'd like to take advantage of their online study aids and practice test. Your help is much much appreciated and thank you in advance for your help.

Hi ah30195,

You might get more of a response if you post this in the "Lounge" Sub-Forum (on this site).

When it comes to properly preparing for the GMAT, there's no way around the fact that the process costs money (it costs $250 just to take the Test), so it's understandable that you might want to try to find the cheapest way to prepare.

Most Business Schools would tell you that your GMAT score is the most important part of your application. If you try to "cut corners" on this part of the process and (as a result) your score is lower than you hoped/needed, then the ENTIRE process unravels (you won't be able to apply to any of the schools that you had planned to, when you had planned to, no opportunity for scholarship money, you'll have to take the GMAT again (for another $250) and then you have to start over and spend the money anyway).

This is all to say that you have to decide if risking your entire Business/Career future just to save a couple of dollars is worth it. It might be better to think of this as an investment in your future and not an expense to be avoided.

"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."
