getting a 700 impossible?? [#permalink] New post   15 Jul 2010, 03:49
hello everyone... i am a cpa from the philippines and have 7 years experience in finance and is planning to take the GMAT for a possible masters studies or mba...

i took the sample gmat test for math and flunked big time, i got 7 out of 37 :(

but, as a CPA, i am determinined to do everything to get a 700 in the GMAT so that i can apply for a merit scholarship in a good B school in Europe ... any tips as to what book/reviewer/strategy to use??

i had calculus/algebra/stats in college but after graduation, i seem to have lost all the knowledge as i was bombarded with all CPA related topics...

Hi there - welcome to GMAT Club.

I would recommend you go through this study plan: gmat-study-plan-for-gmat-novices-start-your-gmat-journey-80727.html

I would not worry too much - you will get it back, you just to get the topics reviewed and get your skills aligned. As a CPA, you should not too much trouble with math. Verbal is usually the more challenging nut to crack...

thank you all for the reply.. i am determined in getting a 700 GMAT to compensate for my average undergrad GPA. I just started with the Princeton Review to bring me back the basics in Math and Verbal. I hope 3 months of preparation with atleast 2 hours of studying every weekdays and 8 hours duriring the weekend would be enough. I will update you as I progress. Thanks again.
