From 0 - 700+ to access to Harvard. [#permalink] New post   06 Oct 2011, 10:28
Hello guys,

It's my first discussion here and I feel like a child in a toy store.

Let me introduce my situation. I'm working abroad with no chances to attend to courses or specific trainings to pass GMAT test in a brilliant way.
I decided to apply to a MBA program but I discovered the existence of this test: the GMAT!!!

After some researches (passing through the official website) I discovered the existence of several books but, as usual, none of them can be defined a bible for this test.
I noticed that, to access to some famous universities, you must obtain very high results to this test.

Here is my question:
Which book should I buy, now that I'm in an easy-to-reach place, to achieve the results of 750 points?

I don't know which would my test result be at the moment. I would like to know if it is possible to achieve this result studying (and working at the same time) before the elapse of the 2nd time window to be accepted for next year MBA in Harvard.

I'm looking at a self-training to be done after working time (even if I know is not the best way to prepare such an exam) and I need to buy all the books to be carried along with me.

Thanks very much for your suggestions and tricks and tips.

Read this thread it gives reviews on all of your various options. I'd personally recommend the Manhattan books. Its hard to say if you'll be able to improve your score in time without knowing your baseline score. mba.com has 2 free official practice tests.

I think you need to assess and find out where you stand right now, and then see what path to choose to destination, say HBS median GMAT, which is 730 something..
Download GMAT Prep from mba.com, take one of the test and find what your score is.. that will tell you how much you need to improve and in what areas specifically.
Manhattan GMAT books + OG are good enough to lay a solid base for most people. of course, mock tests and practice will come later..
I think you will be able to look for better directions once you have taken a GMAT prep test as diagnostic :)
Good luck..
