Hi! I just started preparing for GMAT. I plan to do a MBA in 2018 after I complete my Bachelors from NTU Singapore. I plan to take the GMAT in Dec 2016. Any advice how to start your preparations? Can you recommend a 6 mth study plan.
I currently have the 3
OG 2015 books. Should I buy any other resources or take up online prep courses?
I got a score of ard 520 in my first mock test. MY Quant was ard 40-42 and my Verbal was below 20. My target score is >700. Also how are my chances of getting into a top university as I only have 3 years of work experience.
Thanks,
Manick
Hi, I believe
OG alone would not be sufficient.While you get lot of guidance through this forum,you can always get additional materials and prep well since you have time.I prepared using veratis online along with
GMAT club tests and some useful references books(details I can provide if you wish).this helped me move my mocks from 540 to a 620 in a month's time. I heard
mgmat is also very good .can provide more info if needed
Posted from my mobile device Hi! I just started GMAT prep and I am not sure where to start. This forum has been very useful. What is your opinion on Veritas online? I am deciding which online course to take.
Can provide more details on which reference books to use and about
mgmat as well? Could you recommend me a study plan for abt 5-6 mths ? I work 9 to 6 and it very difficult to study on the weekdays.
Thanks a lot!
Hi
I feel strategy provided in Veratis has worked for me,it has helped me improve Quan a lot.I havent worked much with
MGMAT,you could check with someone who has used
MGMAT ,but i have heard from friends that it definitely helps improve Verbal.I have a lot of reference materials but due to lack of time, i couldnt go through all of them. While
OG is a must , more importantly,the correct strategy to solve
OG questions helps improve scores. 5-6 months is ample time for a target score of 700 as long as you are on the right track.
If you are working, atleast 1 hr a day should help ,and weekend you could pull out more time(around 4-5 hrs per day). The more you practice, the better the scores. So, the lesser the breaks you take inbetween the study plan, the easier it will be for you to remember and work on the strategies. Also, since you are in the beginning, it is very important to identify your areas of weakness before you directly start with a plan.
GMAT Club tests helped me a lot, so i will definitely recommend that along with GMAT prep tests.
Hope that gives you a fair idea of where to start off! All the best for your exam.
About details of the materials i have , you can provide me your mail, and i will mail you the list I have.
Thanks!
