Hello everyone,
I plan on contributing in a positive manner to this site. I just need to get the hang with posting.
So I took a practice GMAT test last year sometime and I totally bombed it(430), I've pretty much have been putting it off until recently.
I did a lot worst on the math portion versus the English portion.
I earned my BS in Accounting and my long term goal is to work a big accounting firm(preferably The Big 4) I finished school with a 3.1 gpa and the masters program I want to get into is The University of Oklahoma online masters program for accounting. I've spoke to the admissions office and they told me that the online program is a lot more lenient on their requirements compared to the in class program.
This is my study plan... the end goal is a 700(I know going from a 430 to a 700...)
I know that my biggest weakness is the math. So after purchasing the Manhattan GMAT Prep books I realized that I needed to start even below that so I purchased
the foundation math GMAT book. That's where I'm currently at, I will meet with a tutor once a week for now but hopefully we can start meeting twice a week by April. I plan on studying 8 hours a week and taking the test in July or August. So in total I plan on studying 160 hours.
Pretty much what I'm trying to ask is if this sounds like a solid plan 1st get a better understanding of the foundations of math required for the test then really jump into the GMAT studying.
Any comments, tips, and advice is appreciated.
Thank you!!!

Hi ljjuaerz,
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) How many months ago did you take that practice CAT/mock? Was that the only one you took or did you take any others?
2) Did you do any GMAT studying around that time (and if so, then what study materials did you work with?)?
3) What is the application deadline for the Program that you're interested in?
Raising a 430 to the point that you could consistently score 700+ will likely require at least another 3 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. From what you describe, you will likely need to commit to more than 8 hours a week of study time though (or you might need to plan for a longer study timeframe). Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.
For free math practice and help, I recommend that you set up an account at Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org). The site is completely free and makes the learning a bit more fun and 'game-like' (as opposed to the dry academic approach taken by most books). While the site is vast, you should limit your studies to basic Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry. After spending a little time re-building those skills, you can start your GMAT studies.
