Hi - could you please send link? [email protected]

I haven't started studying for the GMAT and just started my research on what materials I should get to begin studying. I see everyone recommends the Manhattan GMAT reviews vs Kaplan or Princeton Reviews. Any thoughts? All suggestions are highly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi sullyann1229,

If you haven't taken a full-length practice CAT yet, then you should plan to do so. You'll likely see some questions that you don't know how to answer and you'll probably have pacing problems, but it's important to establish your strengths and weaknesses.

You can download 2 free practice CATs from www.mba.com. Set aside 4 hours and take the entire CAT. Once that's one, you can post your scores back here and receive some advice.

Since it sounds like you're just starting off, you should plan for 3 months of solid study time (it might even take you longer than that) to properly prepare.

Keep a really great error log. I was stuck at 600 for quite some time until I started logging my errors. I ended up jumping 30 percentile points after I started. Try www.examdecoder.com 's error log.

Hi there,

My advice would be to sign up for trials of several GMAT prep programs and see which one fits your study personality the best. Make a list of what is most important to you and find a program that fits the bill. Do you value a money back score guarantee? Do you prefer a classroom setting or would you rather do most of your studies on your computer or phone? When you determine what's most important to you and examine how you best learn, you'll be able to find the most optimal program for you.

Regards,

Elizabeth

"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."
