Whether you are just beginning your MBA journey or fine-tuning your path to a 700+ score, GMAT Day is designed to give you a competitive edge.
Hello everyone,
First, let me give you some information about my background: I am a Brazilian recent graduate in Economics (in Brazil), and I am currently working. My plan is to apply for a business school in 4-5 years from now, but I really want to start working on the GMAT now, since my current job is not too stressful and time consuming and the test results will be available for 5 years. My final goal is a 700+, and I am thinking about taking the test for the first time (and hopefully the last) 3-4 months from now.
Before starting my preparation, I decided to take the free MGMAT CAT and scored a 580 (Q37, V33). It is no a terrible score since English is not my first language, but it is far from what I want.
I would really appreciate any advice on how to prepare, how to study, and how much effort I will have to put into it in order to achieve my goal.
Thank you very much guys.

Hi bl12345,
You ask a broad question, so I would suggest that you do some research, visit the various GMAT company websites and gather the necessary information. There are plenty of options when it comes to preparing for the GMAT (classes, self-study, tutoring, etc.). Most GMAT companies offer some type of free resources (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.), so that you can "test out" a product before you buy it. I suggest that you take advantage of all of them, then choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.
1) How many hours do you think you can study during a typical week?
2) When you took this CAT, did you take the FULL CAT (with the Essay and IR sections)?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

EMPOWERgmatRichC,
Sorry for the lack of information.
I took only the Quant and Verbal sections on my CAT.
I see myself studying 1.5 - 2 hours a day on weekdays and 5-6 hours on weekends, so a total of 12-16 hours a week for 3-4 months.
Also, my plan is to go over ALL the MGMAT Guides, then over most of the OG questions, and take 5-6 Practice CATs. Do you think this is enough for a 700, or should I look into more resources?
Thank you.
