Hi Folks,
I want to start my prep for the GMAT Focus edition and so I have been "googling" around for a couple of days to find a good prep. program for the GMAT. My Mock scores on experts global were mediocre (approx. 550) - have been out of University for 10+ years now. I bought the OG 23/24 already as additional material but I`d like to have an online prep course to get the foundations.
As of now, I am unsure between Magoosh (the cheapest option, about the quality I don`t know much), TTP (the most costly of the three), and E-GMAT (the "study plan" is not realistic according to reviews)...but I guess there are many other options. The thing is, I don't want to mix - just pick a course and stick to it. Also, I can`t pay for it like 1000$.
Any advice for a "GMAT Newbie"? What to choose so that I can afford it and get into a program where I can build the foundation to a solid score?
P.S. I`d like to take the exam in Spring 2024 - due to my workload, I can spend only a limited time studying a day
Any further advice on how to prepare?
Thanks!

Hi. Welcome to GMAT Club.
I’ll give you some unsolicited advice and you’re welcome to use it how you wish.
First of all I guess I would say that everyone has their path. We all have different situation in different strengths in different challenges .
I would recommend to you not spending 6 to 9 months studying. Many reasons why it’s a bad idea. I know it may be or may seem like the only way but it’s a really tricky option. Let me ask you this, do you remember anything from 609 months ago? I don’t 😂
My recommendation to you would be to try to condense it as much as you can because GMAT is based on the number of nuance and subtle rules that you will not be able to keep in your mind without constantly refreshing and if you have to constantly refresh then the amount of time you will actually spend on learning new material will decrease with every day and eventually 90% of your time will be spent on refreshing and 10% of learning new things. So I would really really encourage you not spending a long time studying.
If you have to spend a long time studying, I highly recommend that you make your own notes that you review from time to time and that you can refer to leader specifically commenting on traps and problems and mistakes and things like that
And in terms of the best course, there are a few things to consider and if you are taking your test in the spring, there’s a good chance you will be taking the new GMAT focus edition which is in someways better and easier because it does not contain sentence correction and it does not contain geometry but it does have some annoying integrated reasoning questions which I let’s just say annoying.
So if you are going to take the test in the spring, again you don’t need to study sentence correction and geometry.
If you intend to start now, I think the best choice for you will be in Magoosh because it’s valid for one year. It’s the cheapest option and if you are going to take a long time that’s the one you can use. If you are going to do it more intensively that it’s worth looking at the other course options.
Sorry I’m rambling a little bit. The bottom line is I recommend compacting your prep into a four month or three month sprint. Are you can avoid studying some material if you’re taking the text test next spring and finally for this long of a stretch Magoosh is the best option 😇

Studying early in the morning may be more effective than, for example, forcing yourself after work. If you're going for the Focus Edition, reduce the material you cover (don't study SC and geometry, for example).
When it comes to resources, gmatclub itself can be a helpful resource to include in your prep path with the many free questions and explanations posted. There's also a free gmatclub math guide (pdf) you can download. Leveraging trial periods and seeing what others have done/used to improve their scores could also be helpful.

Have suggested Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for CR to students.
