Hi all,
I need your help on planning for GMAT. I will try to make this short
Background: non-native. moved to US in middle school from eastern Asia. SAT - 720 math 600 verbal.
I finished B.S. in Acct and Fin at a state school with a low GPA, a bit below 3.0. Yes, I was one of those armatures who thought I could get a job by networking only and didn't care much about GPA. Found out that is not true for recent graduate positions.
I started my career at a small CPA and worked for 1.5 year,and then I was able to join a mid-sized accounting firm. After another year, which is earlier this year, I got into one of the big 4.
I'm really enjoying my current position, but I believe this is the perfect time to plan for MBA.
The target school is Wharton.
I am planning to take GMAT sometime in Feb 2017 which gives me about 1 - 2 month time to study.
My first GMAT was back in 2013 or 2014. I went through a few pages of OG and took the exam, scored 550 (Q43 V22 I think).
I strongly believe I can get into 650+ if I take one of the verbal prep course. I'm good with math so I think I can study for quant myself.
With that said, I need some advice on how to improve my GMAT score from 650+ to 700+.
My GPA sucked so yea I need a strong 700+ which will be a big challenge. Good news is I'm going to apply for Jan 2018 deadline so I still have time.
Also, which GMAT prep course should I purchase for verbal?
Thank you for reading my post!

Hi Midnightll,
If you're just re-beginning, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a bit of practice first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the general content and question types first, then that's fine - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so it's likely that you will need more time than you've planned for. Thankfully, you've given yourself plenty of time to work on the GMAT before you apply to Business School.
