Hi All,
1st time poster here. I started studying around 2 years ago and stopped because I decided business school just wasn't in the cards for me. This thinking hsa now recently changed dramatically - my first diagnostic was absolutely terrible (540?) and then I slowly and gradually improved to my last practice test which was a 710. My main weakness is quant - I was consistently scoring above the 90% mark on my verbal.
This is a pretty broad question, but how do I start studying again? I'm hesitant to take a CAT right away because it seems likely that I'll get a low score and get discouraged. Is a better alternative to review the fundamentals through the quant MGMAT books that I still have and then work on the CAT? Broadly, my study plan is 2-3 months with a heavy focus on quant.
Thanks

Hi
It is better that you brush up your fundamentals in both Quant and Verbal and then take your mock test..

Hi 362jackson,
Since you're restarting your studies after a significant amount of time 'off', then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can re-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 4 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) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
