Hey guys!
Like almost all of forum members I’m here in order to get the best out of me and achieve 681 points in GMAT. It is my priority for the end of this and 2-3 months of the next year because I want to enter the undergraduate program on a Swiss university.
I live in Germany where I finished high school 4 months ago, as it didn’t went as I planned, I have to go my way through the GMAT.
I don’t really have special concerns because the whole test is my biggest one. English isn’t my native language and I wasn’t the best in math at school but what I see, is that one can learn for the test like I did before my finals which I’ve completed above my average grades.
Besides that everyone here is doing his or her GMAT after the undergraduate program. For that reason I lack the knowledge which others acquire during their first college years. There’s a possibility I could study (only) math because I have an invitation of the local university but it is rather a short-term solution that I don’t like because I lose time I could invest into the direct preparation. I don’t really know what to do but I know that I do not want to graduate in math
.
I’ve already looked up some threads that seemed to be helpful and I’m one step away from buying my books for the preparation. It would be the Manhattan set and the official guide. The goal of this thread and my plea to you is to point out some books, courses or websites that may help me in this situation. You can find more detail below.
Time: 6-8 months
Goal: 681 points and Business management studies in Swiss
Books I own: -
What I do: I’ve just prepared my ereader and some English books that were pointed out in the book thread. As I’m aware of my weak English I plan to read more than it was advised in that thread.
Request: Estimation of my situation and some advices about books or for further steps

Hi age95,
I have a few questions about your overall timeline/plans:
1) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
I ask because most Schools require an applicant to have an Undergraduate Degree and a certain amount of work experience (usually several years worth). Since GMAT Scores are good for 5 years, if you took the GMAT in 8 months, then it's possible that your score would 'expire' before you ever have a chance to apply with it.
2) Is there any particular reason why you're trying to prepare for the GMAT so 'early?'
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hey EMPOWERgmatRichC!
The enrolment deadlines for the autumn semester is 1 February to 30 April. Everything that I need, as a foreign person, is an internal test that is provided by the university or an external, international test like GMAT etc. I think GMAT is a better option because you can repeat if you fail to achieve your target points. Besides that I don’t need any work experience or such things.
In that case I have 6-7 months to complete GMAT with 680 points. I started so early because I want to make sure that I will start my studies in September 2016.
