Re: GMAT Study Plan - How to Start your GMAT Prep [#permalink]

Does anyone have the link to the Manhattan GMAT's table with the different edition problem number conversion? I couldn't find this on their website. I currently have the new 4th edition of the Manhattan GMAT prep books, but I have the older 11th edition of the GMAT Official Guide book. I need help converting all the OG 12th problems listing to OG 11th problems in the MGMAT 4th edition. I would greatly appreciate the help in finding this conversion table. Thanks, Hanzi15

Hi everyone,
I have decided to start with GMAT today and plan to take May's test. This is the first time ever I begin with GMAT. I see many of you have your names listed here and share your study plan. I want to find some motivation to go along this road so I registered here.
I'm really, really weak in math so I have decided to start with it first, just aligning with the study plan suggested in the first page.
I wish for strength, patience and persistence in the 3 months to come. :D

Hi meiying612, welcome and enjoy the information you will encounter during browsing here. Almost for every part of the GMAT is enough infromation available. Start by getting familiar with the different topics ind math and verbal and do one of the available diagnostic tests. Important books are listed throughout the forum, but OG12, MGMAT (all 8 books), Powerscore Bible are mentioned as best for prep. Good luck with the preparation and keep us updated...

Hi, I am looking at applying for Masters courses this time next year. I did one of the GMAT tests just to have an idea of what it's like and I scored 530 with Q35 and V28. I have purchased the MGMAT books and OG12 book and the separate verbal and quant books too. I am looking at doing the tests in mid June. I am aiming for at least 680 and preferably 700+ to stand out. Was a bit disappointed with my mark but at least my scores were quite balanced. Did worse in DS for quant and CR and RC for verbal. PS was so so but I did well in the SC so was pleased with that. Best of luck everyone

I gave myself about a week to familiarize myself with this forum and read through many of the recommended material before starting to study. In the end I decided on getting the MGMAT material for my study, and so far I have not been disappointed.

Welcome to GMATClub  of course there is a way to improve your reading and the best way is - to read more! You can use multiple resources: 1. Professional reading - Wallstreet Journal, Economist, Financial Times, Harvard Business Review etc., as well as many more, which have a more scientific orientation as America Science 2. Fiction - there is a special thread here on GC, which gives you some options to choose fiction books, which may be more interesting to you. -> books-to-read-improve-verbal-score-and-enjoy-a-good-read-76079.htmlAfter 1-2 months, you'll notice how things change! Learning by doing! Feel free to ask more questions! Regards,

Hi , I have started my gmat prep, following the approach suggested by BB (Thanks mate!). But I have dedicated my first month to Verbal , since it my weak area. Following this I will at attack quant, which I am hoping should not be a difficult task, considering my comfort level with maths. I needed some guidance from bb. As you suggested that by the end of the month, one should devote some time trying out the tests targeted at that specific area, I was unable to compile a list of tests to check my comfort level with Verbal. Tests like the mgmat, gmat prep, kaplan princeton etc are full length and I wanted to keep them for the last month's prep or should I attempt the verbal section of few of these now,and keep mgmat and gmat prep for later (since they are good indicators of the real Gmat score) Also I have already appeared for the gmatprep1. I wanted to reset this, by removing the log files from the folder(the first test, so that I can practice Verbal) to get a new set of questions. Will this also reset Gmatprep2 , which I wanted to keep for the final days of my prep. I hope I am not sounding stupid  Please suggest how should I assemble the verbal part of the tests without losing the oppurtunity of appearing on the full length test , once I am through with my prep Regards, Meher

Hi there,
My first post! I'm looking to take the gmat in august (14th) or in september. I've already studied a part of the program, essentially the basics : algebra, geometry, critical reasoning (love this part!).
I'll be off 5 weeks in july and august. It is sufficient to aim a 700+?
What preparation do you recommend?
thanks a lot!
Lyes

Hey everyone, After much deliberation, I have finally decided to start preparing for the GMAT. I plan to take the test in the first week of September and will try to send in my applications for the first round, by mid/late October. I will also start working on my recommendations and essays simultaneously, while preparing for the test. I plan to study 4-6 hours a day, at least six days a week, and follow the study plan posted here. I have absolutely no math skills and plan to take a GMAT prep test tomorrow to see where I stand. Let's see how it goes.  The following is the tentative list of schools that I plan to apply to: Northwestern Kellog UC Berkley Michigan Ross UCLA Anderson Emory University U of Texas, Austin North Carolina USC Marshall Georgetown University I haven't included any of the top 10 schools in this list, but I want to apply to at least one. Which one of them do you think I am most likely to be accepted to, given my background in journalism? Also, am I being too ambitious/unrealistic? :s Take care.

Hi Guys,
My name is Vaibhav. I joined the club around 2 days ago. I am a Test Lead with a leading software giant with an experience of around 6 years. I know that it is a bit late to wake up and start preparing for the GMAT but I have made up my mind to give the GMAT this year, most prolly by October.
I have gone through in numerous pages in this forum and am confused on which books to buy for the preparation. I am quite poor in Maths, though the verbal and other sections could be my strengths. I was looking at a simple strategy to prepare for the GMAT and get a good score (Around 720)
Your assistance is appreciated.
Regards
Vaibhav

Vaibhav Hey Vaibhav, You are in the right place. The forum has loads to offer. To start just do the following: - Get acquainted with the GMAT, question types etc. You need the OG to start with. Go through the questions and try to answer some. - If you have done that already, make it a point to finish all the OG questions. Do that very carefully. Make sure you understand the explanations properly. - If you don't get some concepts or feel you are weak in something, you can look at other alternate sources as well. That you can post on the forum and people will tell you what. - After you finish the OG, take a GMAC practice test. If you are in the 650+ mark, take a date for the GMAT after a month or so. - Now will be the time to consolidate. I personally like MGMAT books. So I recommend you to go through those. - This forum is invaluable. If you say you are weak in quant, just follow the quant sub-forum. People post brilliant questions everyday and they are solved by experts. - If you get stuck, just post! All the best!! Regards, Shouvik.
