Hello guys,
I'm Federico, from Florence. I'm heading over to taking GMAT in 4/5 months and I found your forum while navigating on internet.
First of all, I read few topics and I found them really interesting and helpful to me. They avoided some mistakes I was going to do.
I tried to find a topic which is a bit similar to my issues but I haven't found it so here I am to ask you some help and some suggestions.
I am actually working so preparing GMAT is a bit harder than when I was only a student but I need to take this test because I would like to apply for a MBA class. I haven't chosen the short list of MBA faculties but I would like to reach a very good GMAT score to have the chance to go into a top school (so I'm aiming to 680/700).
As I told you, since I work for 9/10 hours a day it is not so easy to find time to prepare GMAT properly. As a consequence, I am a bit uncertain on which book/online course I need to buy. First of all I ordered on Amazon MGMAT bundle but, unfortunately, the 6th edition is not yet available in Europe. So, meanwhile I'm waiting it I am wondering which online class I could take and if I should take at least one book on quant to start to study GMAT. Can anyone suggest me a second choice, still helpful, quant book? Should I buy meanwhile the 5th edition of MGMAT Quant book? Or do you have other options to suggest?
I have visited some links found on this forum (GMAT Pill and e-GMAT) and during these days I have tried the Economist class as well.
I would like to ask you some suggestions on which of these online-courses may be shaped for me.
I noticed that GMAT Pill is an online class with videos and I am wondering if this kind of teaching may be helpful. I think it has lots of questions but I'm wondering if it provides also explanations on questions. For example, Economist GMAT Tutor explains every step and take me by hand as a baby through GMAT
Unfortunately The Economist GMAT Tutor costs really a lot compared to its competitors and I don't know if it is worth the money (it still a class which has an expiration depending on the price of the plan).
Finally, I would like to have a very flexible course which can be taken through smartphone, tablet or desktop so I can follow it everywhere I am.
Do you have any suggestion to make?
Thank you so much!

Hi Fede87,
There are plenty of different options when it comes to studying for the GMAT. It sounds like you've done a bit of research so far, but there are a few more steps you should probably take before you choose a GMAT product to purchase.
1) Take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT test (you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com). A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take the ENTIRE CAT in one sitting. Once you have those score results, you'll have a better sense of your strengths and weaknesses. You should also plan to report back here with your scores (so that you can get some additional advice).
2) Most GMAT companies offer some type of free resources (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.) so that you can "test out" a product before you buy it (we offer a free Trial at our website, so you should feel free to try it out). You should take advantage of ALL of them and see if what they're teaching helps you to answer any of the questions that you got wrong on your practice CAT. That "evidence" will go a long way to proving whether you should buy the product or not. In the end, you should choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.
4-5 months is plenty of time to study for the GMAT, but you're going to have to do a lot of work. Studying for the GMAT is similar to having a part-time job - you're going to put in 10-15 hours per week (or more) during your studies. Thankfully, the GMAT is a predictable, standardized Test, so you CAN train to score at a high level.

Hi Federico,
How is your quant right now? If it's not strong, or if you haven't done quant in a long time, start with our Foundations of GMAT Math book. It hasn't really been changed, so you can order 5th edition. If you're going to order one core strategy guide, get Number Properties or Fractions, Decimals, & Percents.
