Hello All,

I just finished my Masters and planning to pursue PhD at a public school here in USA.
I got a GMAT waiver for my Masters due to my Undergrad GPA. Now the school needs at least 600 GMAT score for my PhD.
I have 2 months to apply with a score. I need you expert advise and a Strategy to score atleast 600 with 2 months of study. I can dedicate atleast 2 hrs of time everyday (and more hrs during weekends) due to a full-time job.
I need the right books to study for each section for a sureshot 600.

Thanks.

It depends a great deal on how close you are now, and what areas you need the most improvement on. Have you taken a practice test yet?

I have not started yet. I might need to refresh all sections. Being a very quick learner, i need the right books and strategy.

If you get one or more of our books, it comes with access to our set of 6 practice exams. I recommend that you start by taking an exam and using the provided comprehensive assessment tools to look at what areas you need to improve in, so that you can specifically target them in the next 2 months. You can get our entire set of study materials, but it's certainly a lot to do in 2 months. You can cover a lot of ground in that time, but most people take a while longer, and you may find that there are some areas you don't have time for.
