I've purchased OG11 recently as well as Kaplan 800. I will receive these texts on Tuesday (7/10).

I would like to take the GMAT in the beginning of 2008. I am getting married in fall and then honeymooning for 15 days, so studying intensly in the next few months is not going to happen.

I would like to casually browse through the texts though until I have the proper amount of time to devote weekly in the winter and early next year.

Do you recommend that I take an exam prior to doing any reviewing? I am curious as to what progression I should take, give that I am unsure where I will need more review.

I have a finance degree that I obtained in 2002 and I work at a financial firm right now. I was born and grew up in Chicago, IL.

Hi Ryan:

I think that it's wise to take a practice test prior to your prep, just to see a baseline score. I recommend taking one of the GMATPrep practice tests. GMATPrep is produced by the makers of the GMAT and features actual, but retired, GMAT questions. It is the best indicator of your actual GMAT performance.

You can download the GMATPrep software for free at MBA.com.

Best of luck and congrats on the wedding!

That is what I was thinking of doing. I downloaded the software a few days ago and was going to take it to see where I stand.

I am also hoping that this will allow me to see which areas I need more text assisstance on....

Thanks for your help and for the congrats Eric!
