Crash Preparation of GMAT in 1.5 Month - Looking For Suggestion [#permalink] New post   06 Jul 2018, 23:56
Dear Friends, I plan to do a 1.5 Month Crash Preparation for GMAT. the GMAT Score Doesn't matter but I want to maximize the score. Anything Above 650+ is OK, though a 700+ will simplify things for me. Have decent Mathematics and Verbal Background and had prepared for GMAT some 5 years ago with couple of 700+ score in manhattan prep tests.

Looking for a Suggestion on a course / preparatory method which can cover below.

a) An Integrated test preparation planning, Accessible mostly through Mobile
b) Has the planning guide for a 30-45 days.
b) Topic-by-Topic Online/Mobile study material (Android) and FlashCard
c) Covers the DI / LR / Stats and AWA
d) Has min 4 preparatory full length Test. (I don't intend to take more than 4)
f) Can devote only weekends and 30 minutes per day during travel.
g) Preparation can be covered in 5 weeks. 4 back to back test alternate day. 7th week will take the GMAT.

To give a further background and motivations: I have around 13 years of Mid Management experience and have a specific B-School and Course in mind and intend to apply only there within this season. I have done top MBA from Top-5 and Engineering from Top-15 colleges in India. Even though I considered myself really good at studies, I had middling acad-scores only and really relying on my work-experience. Have Chutzpah for a Full time program only and not looking for E-MBA etc. The real motivation of doing this second MBA is change the field from Corporate Financial Management side to PE/ VC/ FM side.

Appreciate your suggestions. Direct me towards a link if there is a similar topic already discussed on this forum.

If you want to achieve a great score in little time it is very important to know where to foucs on, but as there are many more smarter people than me in this forum I will just link a couple of threads which are very helpful if you have to make the most of your prep time:

Hi Anu, this caught my attention and was wondering why you think so.

I would think that GMAT score definitely matters, more so in your case since you seem to have average academic scores.

Hi anu21v,

The GMAT has gone through some changes since you took it 5+ years ago, so we need to get a sense of how you would score right now. Since you're (re)beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those results, you should report back here and we can discuss how best to proceed.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

More than anything else, I don't feel i have time to devote for more than 1.5 month at a stretch. In any case I don't intend to apply at a top college. Whatever score I get 580 or 750 I would apply to this program. The college I plan to apply takes people at 610 as well.

Hmm. So it appears, there is no mobile based 1.5 Month course which can be used for GMAT preparation.
