Hi all,
I am new here, and I would like to say that this site is valuable resource to conquering the GMAT. Now for my question. I recently was accepted as a provisional MBA student at my University. Since I am currently a pharmacy student also, I got to skip most of the admissions process. (No interview etc, no 2 years of work experience.. I just filled out a 1 page form and gave my resume to the adcoms) If I wasn't in pharmacy school, it wouldn't have been this easy. As a provisional student, I get to take several MBA classes, before taking my GMAT. The condition to my official acceptance is to get a 500 on the GMAT. I've done some research, and it seems like a 500 on the GMAT is pretty sub par to average. (Which is good for me). Being in pharmacy school already, I don't think I will have time to study that much for the GMAT. I plan on taking the GMAT in March or in the summer (or both?)
Given my short amount of study time and lack of time in general, how should I spend the little time I have studying for the GMAT? Any tips? How difficult is getting a 500?
I have already ordered Kaplan Premiere on amazon and the official GMAT book that contains 900 questions.

Hi cocopuffs,
500 is a 38th percentile score on the GMAT. That means that 62% of test-takers can get your required score--including those who haven't studied at all. The percentage will be even higher among prepared test-takers.
That said, there is no way to evaluate your chances of success until you've taken a practice test. Fortunately, you have one coming to your door! Your Kaplan Premier book includes a computer-based diagnostic and 5 computer-adaptive tests. Take a practice test or two, and let that baseline score guide your studies.
Thanks for choosing Kaplan, and let me know if I can do anything else to help!

I think that for many test takers, any decent GMAT guidebook will do for a 500. So the Kaplan Premier is a good option. Also make sure to incorporate some of the OG books (at least the OG 12) for question practice. And don't forget to take the GMATPrep CAT's.
