Hello everyone,

I've been studying math (MGMAT Math Foundations) as I'm quite rusty because I haven't taken any math lessons for more than 5 years,

Lately I've checked some the sample questions for GMAT math, and they looked pretty much complicated to me,

My questions are,

How many months am I supposed to study gmat to get an avarage score like 650?

I have my own startup which was featured on popular blogs and magazines, I have some good achievements, and I have been running a sole proprietorship since my 19 (I'm 24 right now).. so I have time to focus on GMAT.

I want to enroll to an MBA program in California, would 650 be enough to enroll to MBA programs at universities like CalState, SF State and others?

I'll be really glad to read your recommendations for me!

Thanks,

Oz

Hi Oz,

For most Test Takers who are just starting out, I recommend that you plan for a 3 month study program. Some people need less time, some people need more, but it's important to not lose sight of your goal. To score a 650 will take you X amount of time; we can try to guess what that X is, but we don't know enough about your abilities just yet to say for sure.

Have you taken any practice CATs to gauge your ability? You can download 2 for free from www.mba.com. If you haven't taken one yet, then take 1 and post back here with your results.

As to your question, a 650 would be enough for you to apply to any US Business School. Keep in mind that the application process is 6 or 7 pieces (some schools do interviews, some don't), so you have to account for more than just a GMAT score.

"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."
