I have been preparing for about 3 months now.
I first took the test in June and got really panic striken. I should of canceled my score, but for some dum reason I didn't and scored very low on the test.
I know that I can't prepare for every possible question, but I've read some of the other postings and some of the club members have prepared for 6 months and they did very well. I plan on taking the test before the end of the year, (when exactly I don't know).
Anyway I have been using Nova's prep book. I believe if I feel comfortable enough with problems as well as start to time myself and then take 3 or 4 practice tests I should be ready to conquer the GMAT. If anyone has some advice for me, please do so.
