Hi Sandeep4motwani

I most of the points have been covered in the posts above, I'll just provide you with a tip:

If you can study with a time-table ie study regularly, have lesser distractions go for the Manhattan books, and practice here on GC.
However, If you a person, who can not study regularly ie you have many commitments and find it hard to take out time from schedule, go for a online-course.

Online course will not only provide with a framework to study and improve but will also help you keep a tab of how much you have completed and where you stand.
Also, subconsciously, since the online courses are of fixed duration, you will try to complete the course with that time frame to not let your hard earned money go waste !

Dear Sandeep,

One can definitely self-prepare for GMAT (I did ). All the best for your preparation!

Hi Sandeep,

Since it sounds like you're just 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 scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
