Hi Guys,
I havé 7 yrs of work exp, including 3.5 yrs of running my own business. I intend to go for my MBA now to the US for which A good GMAT score is a must. After reading about a lot of b schools, I understand that I need a 700-720 to get into a college of my choice. But achieving that seems like an impossible task. What do u think is a good approach for studying for the test, keeping in mind that I would want to start from the basics as 1)I did not have maths as a subject after my 10th..2)it's been over 7 years since I hit the books. I would definitely want to enroll with some coaching center but not before I am through with my basics.
Time should not be a problem as I can devote 6-7 hours daily. Please suggest a strategy which helps me get my basic concepts right and practice the right content for the test.
Looking forward to your positive response.
Many thanks,
K
PS- I am thinking of giving the test somewhere in feb-March 2015

Hi rineeshkalra,
As someone who is preparing for GMAT I would like to share how I prepare , which books I refer to etc
Time
2-3 months
Books Used:
OG 13th edition Book , Quantitavie Review , Verbal Review , 700-800 Question Set on GMAT club forum .
Maintain Error Log
Download the Excel Sheet of Question of OG 13 . This helps . Trust me!
Manhattan GMAT SC , RC , CR Books . Fab Books .
Kaplan Premier Book .
2 CATs and questions from mba.com
CATs from Manhattan GMAT , Kaplan GMAT , Princeton Review GMAT , GMAT Club Tests atleast 28-36 Full Length Tests . ( Though sounds heavy , yet its my way of looking at GMAT since I am a non native speaker and a slow learner .
Free Videos and articles on Youtube, GMAT PrepNow, etc.
Follow GMAT Club Forum
Studying:
Usually 6-9 hours on weekdays . MUST!
Usually 10-12 hours on Saturdays and Sundays. Usually 1 CAT on the weekend with review (weekend usually included going back to redo old questions, even questions I got right before) MUST!
Advice:
1) The books were pretty good, but there’s a lot of advice that conflicts from book to book, so it takes a little while to figure out what’s true and what’s not. The OG 13th edition is a MUST HAVE.
2) Find an expert to work with. Use a course or a tutor.
3) There’s a lot of bad advice out there about pacing, representative questions, etc. (and the problem is a lot of it’s free). Be suspicious. If you practice something for a full month and it doesn’t work, then it’s not going to help you hit your goal. Be prepared to learn some new things.
4) Stay calm and write everything down. GMAT questions are actually pretty straight forward if you just stay organized.
5) The Quant section is NOT a math test and the Verbal section is NOT a vocabulary test, so don’t treat them like they are.
6) Learn which questions to avoid.
6) Take the breaks, no matter how good you feel. Have a snack, a drink and run to the bathroom.
All the best bud!
Regards

Hae,
Thanks for your reply. After reading most of the blogs and posts on this forum, the approach suggested by you seems like the winning strategy. But ,my only pain point is the Basics concepts for the Quant section. Any specific book or a download where I can get only basics and problem sets to learn and practice?
I understand one should not relate GMAT quant with Maths, per say, but the questions are based on the maths concepts, right ?
