I am so glad that I found this site!
I was searching for GMAT prep guides and I was pretty lost on what to buy. I ended up reading the forums for about 3 hours last night. It looks like there are a lot of great books out there but I am struggling to find out which ones I really need to buy. I have just over three months to study for the test.
When I first started thinking about doing the GMAT I downloaded some tests and started taking them and they scared me to death. I graduated with a Finance/Marketing degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a horrible GPA of 2.8. I will be applying for my MBA at the same school but with a GPA of 2.8 what do you think I need to get on the GMAT for them to look at my application?
I have not researched what my strengths or weaknesses are yet but I feel like I need a lot of work on the basics. I am also a visual learner and tend to fall asleep if I try to stick my face in a book for more then an hour.
With all that being said I have a few questions I could use help with!
1. What score for a state school do you think would be acceptable?
2. What study materials/books for a visual learner would benefit me most?
3. Is two hours a day a must for taking the test in three months? (Working full-time)
GMAT Exam Date: May 4th, 2011
Books recommended:
OG 12th Edition
OG Verbal Review?
OG Quant Review?
Manhattan GMAT SC
Powerscore CR
Manhattan GMAT RC or RC99
Quant books?
What order would be beneficial to read the books?
I appreciate in advance all the support other members will give me in the next few months!

Exploring the website for three hours, you probably already found this: best-gmat-books-77703.html
If not, review it and perhaps ask a few follow-up questions there. For verbal, you have the right idea: Powerscore CR and MGMAT SC are the most reliable. Only buy an RC guide if you notice a problem with that question type. For quant, most find the Manhattan math series quite effective. And yes, the OG is a must.
For visual learners, reinforce concepts learned with high-quality questions. The first choices should include the OG, GMATClub forums, GMATPrep, as well as the online CAT's and question banks from Manhattan. However, make sure that you conceptually understand these concepts. You need that skill for the test.
Two hours a day might not be enough. For the weekdays, do what you can. But for the weekend, you need to invest a great deal of time for a good score.
How to define an acceptable score depends on the school. The application process, of course, involves a lot more than the GMAT (as you probably already know). Don't focus too much on that now, though. Just put all your efforts into constructing a solid study plan and following through.

Thank you for the response!
I just finished my first GMAT Prep Practice Test and I was reluctant to post this but I scored a 422 (Q27,V22). I thought I would score above a 500 but then again I am trying to relearn the basics first.
I did purchase a bunch of books to help me out.

I figured it was worth the money as I can always resell them when I am finished for at least half of what I paid.
