Last month I was admitted to Thunderbird. GMAT was one of many factors to be evaluated by the Admission Officers.
1) First, instead of going crazy looking for books, look at mirror and ask yourself:
- What do I really know of Math? (In my case, I'm ok)
- What do I really know of English? (I'm Argentine, so my english in
gmat was hell)
- What do I really know about gmat tips and gmat strategies?
==> Do you really know your level? Sure?
2) Don't pay too much attention to "Kaplan is the only one", "Kaplan is worthless", "Princeton is ok", "I've got 750 thanks to Cliffs" and all that bullshit. IT DEPENDS ON YOUR LEVEL, ALL GMAT TAKERS ARE DIFFERENT REGARDING ENGLISH/MATH/GMAT-LIKE TESTS.
It's not the same being an American with excellent math skills, that being a non-native english speaker with poor math skills. If you're a non-native english speaker, don't try studying 2 weeks before the real exam. It's worthless. It's a process.
No book could lead you reach 700. If your TOEFL is 50, you shouldn't expect Kaplan give you 700. if your english is poor, buy 4 books instead of 1. If your math skills are a disgrace, buy 5 books instead of 2. It's up to your level. Perhaps you should take 30 full-length practice tests, not just 10.
Ask yourself how long you're expected to study for the exam (six months?, 3 months?, 1 year?), then you could make a real plan.
==> Buy materials with criteria. Make a plan.
3) Don't regret from doing an MBA just for your gmat level. You should concentrate on the whole application:
gmat + toefl + essay + resume + undergraduate scores + long-term goals + short-term goals
All that stuff is put into balance, then Admission Officers make your profile, and ultimately they decide if your aspirations are aligned with the university's goals.
==> Prepare the application with a broader perspective
4) Pay attention to gmat strategies. It's not just about english/math knowledge. It's about understanding timing, gmat tips, detecting suspicious/common questions.
Latin Americans are not used to doing gmat-like tests. Jeje, we don't have sat-like test!, so start taking tests
==> Star practicing full-length practice test + adhere to the time limits that each exam section imposes (trust me, respect the time limits, otherwise the practice test is worthless)
5) Undergraduate/TOEFL scores vs. GMAT score?:
Undergraduate GMAT Admission Officer
Math ok ok excelent
Math mmm ok ok
Math ok mmm ok
Math mmm mmm you've got a problem
TOEFL GMAT Admission Officer
English ok ok excelent
English normal mmm you've got a problem
English excellent mmm ok
ENglish mmm mmm you've got a problem
==> Before taking the gmat, understand your undergraduate and toefl scores
6) I want to reach 800?
Buy all gmat books you want to and practice for 5 years. However, GMAT is a tool to reach your goals, it's not your long-term aspirations. If your dream universities accept 650, prepare yourself for that level and go on.
==> Don't try to procastinate.
7) Attitude!:
Come on man!, don't you remember the undergraduate exams?, haven't you ever had a low score?. Don't start with "I can't, I can't" "This is not for me".
Be a man!, if you start with 400, stand up and say "I will practice so as to reach 600. Point". If you're a non-native english speaker, be prepared for be a man, jejeje.
==> Doing an MBA in another country requires maturity. If you couldn't stand the gmat tests, could you really be prepared for living in another country for 2 years?.
8) For Latin Americans, specifically argentine people:
whole application process: gmat, toefl, essays, resume, networking

Greetings,
You might find it interesting to note that the EXADEP is administered in some parts of Latin America. It is a Spanish language exam that is broadly similar to the GRE and, not surprisingly, it resembles the GMAT to some extent.
GMAC is also considering a test that includes a Spanish verbal component.
