Manhattan Books + OG + GmatClub Tests?

Hi cafecorridor,

Many Test Takers who use a 'book heavy' study approach end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level. While there's no way to know whether that will happen to you or not, your Score Goal is above the 90th percentile (meaning that 90% of Test Takers will never score that high regardless of how long they study or the number of times that they take the Official GMAT. As such, you will likely end up needing to invest in some additional resources (including some non-book resources).

Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
