1 month to test date!! [#permalink]

17 Oct 2005, 20:00

Hi, I just found this site through Google and wished I had done so sooner!!

My exam date is roughly 1 month away and I'm a little intimidated by the quantity of material I have to cover feel confident walking into the exam. I'm taking a Kaplan course right now and it is helping, but my Diagnostic was a mere 460 :cry:

, since then I also got the Princeton Review 'Cracking the GMAT' and have been going back and forth between them. So far so good.

Now it seems like the defacto standard in GMAT prep is OG 10th ed, a book I've never even heard of till now! Can someone give me any tips and strategies to help prepare myself in such short a time frame? even point me in the right direction?

P.S.
I'm 24, with a BComm, working for 9 months doing web dev. for a Canadian wireless company.

Heya,

First of all, the OG stands for the Official Guide, which is the closest-to-the-real-thing prep book out there. It's published by ETS, who gives the GMAT, and contains a huge question bank full of practice questions and explanations. I'm a bad example, I never bought it (costs a fortune for us Canadians, eh?) but most people here swear by it. By the way, they're up to the 11th edition now.

On the diagnostic, what was the score split between verbal and math? Were you able to identify specific concepts and areas of weakness to review the basics?
