19 Days to GMAT... [#permalink] New post   26 Sep 2006, 13:23
Hi Guys,

I'm new here and this is my first post, I was thinking of registering for the GMAT on the 19th of October and I was wondering if 19 days is enough for studying for the GMAT, if I'm going to start studying on the 1st. and what is the best strategy to study for the GMAT?

I have purchased the following books:

Kaplan GMAT 800, 2006-2007 (Kaplan Gmat 800)
Cracking the GMAT with DVD, 2007 Edition (Graduate Test Prep)
The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 11th Edition
The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review
The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review

are these good, and do I need anything else?

Thanks Guys,

I really appreciate some advice here. :lol:

If you're really good, you're set. I have no information to judge that, so....

As for materials...please see my post here...

You're going to need to provide a little more information. Are you working full time while studying? It's going to be tough getting through all that material that you have, especially if you are also working full time.

What level are you currently at, and what level do you hope to get to? Some people start out at 500 while others start out at 700. If you are at 500 and hope to get 700 on the real thing, 19 days is not enough time. If you are at 700 and hope to polish your skills so you score to the best of your abilities, then 19 days is probably enough time.

I can tell you that when I first opened a GMAT prep book, I realized that I had forgotten a lot of the math I learned in high school. It all came back pretty quickly, but I had to do a lot of review for the first 2 weeks. On the other hand, I had a better handle on the verbal from the start.

Good luck.

Yes, I work full time, but i'll be taking a break for the period before the test (1st to 19th) so i'll 100% free for studying only.

About my level i don't know yet, but i'll take the prepTest tonight and i'll tell you, but i think my level is around the 500 right now, let's hope for the best.

About the math thing, i'm sure that i can get things back really fast, i was really good in math back in high school.
