Hi everyone, this is my first post and I'm going to try to make it as clear as possible.
Well I'm a Parisian guy so please accept my apologies if I make any english mistake.
So basically my dream or goal is to integrate a good business school for a Master. More precisely, I want to go to the Stockholm school of economics which requires at least a 600 points score to the Gmat and a 100/120 for the Toefl.
I will have to take the Gmat on december or beginig of january, which gives me aproximately 4 months to learn how to destroy this exam because swedish school also give a lot of importance to the academic results (Understand that mine are short).
The problem is that as far as I can remember, I always sucked in mathematics, no joke, I'm a total wreck.
So I immediatly thought I would have to take private tutoring, prep courses, or maybe both. That's why I started looking in all the possible directions and went to the Kaplan center in Paris, asked for prices and advices, and also took the kind of pre-test.
The result: 490 (51% Verbal / 31% Quant) [ The verbal part is very easy for someone whose mother tongue is english!!!]
Honestly I have to say that it was more or less what I expected regarding to my skill for mathematics.
They told me I should take an unlimited prep course during over 3 months (1500€) and maybe the Mathrefresher (300€)
Meanwhile, I also sent an Email to a Private tutor (Charging half the price of Kaplan per hour =75€) who told me that it wouldn't be necessary to do both. He also told me that he wouldn't do Kaplan prep if he was me but Manhattan which has better teachers and better materials.
So actually I don't know what to think anymore, I'm a bit confused and lost. The only thing that I'm sure about is my willing and my determination to kill this test.
Does someone has any piece of advice for me, some feedbacks, opinion, or experience to share?
Thanks
