Dear GMAT Experts,

My name is Jason and I am a 20-year old BSc student from the Netherlands.

After I finish my BSc I want to directly do a Master's Programme. This requires me to score a minimum of 600 on the GMAT. The GMAT is something that is fairly uncommon in The Netherlands. Most universities don't require a GMAT in order to be accepted.

I have 5-6 months to prepare, as I will have to take the exam in July-August. I have about 10 hours per week to prepare. I hope you would be able to help me with the following questions:

- Which books would you recommend me to buy? Are books the way to go to study for the GMAT? I have downloaded these GMAT apps already, for some studying on the go.
- What is a good source for test exams? I read that I should do a test exam every week in order to see where I need to improve on.
- A 600, for a BSc student, is that something that is do-able? At the moment, my moral is just very low. Somehow, I don't see how I can pass this GMAT, next to going to university full-time.

Any help is much appreciated,

Jason

Thank you very much for your response! I actually haven't bought any books yet. So do you have an idea which one I should get?

What I see is that the courses on the link are very expensive ($280-$2800). Is that something you can do without?

Thanks!

Jason

Jason,

What the above user has said is correct. You will need to buy the OG regardless of whatever other course you buy, since OG has official practice questions. Do the diagnostic test and see where you stand.

I don't think 600 should be a problem if your foundations for the test are strong. I can recommend a few books. PM me if you have any specific requirements of what the books should cover.
