Any advice for studying for the GMAT?

What I did was get a couple of the prep manuals with the tests in the back...then I studied, and I took the practices tests on a saturday morning - just like the real deal...I learned what I was weak at and studied it more...I did ...you can do this...the most important thing ios to be comfortable with the testing format...take the practice tests exactly like it was a real test...study what you mess up on and you will do fine....I think I studied Petersons...get a couple or 3 different ones...and be sure to find out what format you'll be taking the test - online, paper?  then train for that format...good luck!

First off, not all schools will average your scores, despite the twin replies above. Some will only look at the most recent.\n\nIf math is your weakness, I suggest a not-specifically-GMAT book for a brush-up, from the Teach Yourself or Schaum's Outline Series. Then look at the kinds of questions there really are on the GMAT.\n\nIf grammar is your weakness, get a writing book with exercises. Remember, parallellism is the key!\n\nIf critical reasoning or reading are your weaknesses, just read as much as you can.\n\nUse the Princeton Review book or better yet take a class with them (or with me if you're in Switzerland). A website I sometimes recommend is www.testmagic.com though they have some links that worry me...

repetition is key. make notecards and carry them with you. study with other people and take turn asking questions.

Yes, virtually all the accredited MBA programs in the U.S. will require the GMAT examination.  A small few may accept the GRE instead, and an even smaller number may consider you without any entrance exam, but I think it would be highly unlikely that you will find any quality program that will give full consideration unless you take the GMAT.\n\nTake the GMAT!

I took the GRE last summer.  The most important thing is to focus your goal by looking at the average scores for the programs you are interested in.  This way you know if you need to focus on math or verbal.  Then you can use your prep time most efficiently.\n\nTo prepare for the verbal, I subscribed to the New Yorker magazine.  It was much easier to read the magazine for a few months than to cram some vocab cards.  how boring!\n\nI bought a prep book with 7 practice tests.  After each test, i graded each type of question - analogies, etc, to see where my weaknesses were.  Then I studied that type.\n\nIf you study hard, I'm sure you'll do well.  But i found that the recommendations were much more important in my app than my gre scores.\n\ngood luck!

A couple of the most important tips:\n\nStudy every day; don't wait until just before a test.\n\nStudy only what you don't know; don't go over things you already know.\n\nIf you search the Internet for "how to study" you will find loads of web sites with more ideas.

As an MBA, I would recommend that you first take some english classes.  You need to improve your english language skills first and foremost.  Don't bother studying for the GMAT yet -- it won't do you a lot of good.

I found that my actual GMAT test was a bit harder than any of the practice exams I took.  I did Kaplan classes and a number of published study guides.  Though the test was a bit harder, the guides were a big help.

What helped me a lot was Kaplan's GRE Exam book. It prepared me for the whole exam. In the back it has word lists, prefix/suffix lists, top GRE word lists, synonym lists, etc. Studying these lists and doing the practice exams in the book and on the CD helped me the most. Make flash cards using the lists and study hard!\n\nI studied the book for about 3 months prior to the exam and passed with a 570 verbal and 660 quantitative, 5.0 on the essay part. I highly recommend the book and it's not too expensive. Around $20 or $25 if i remember correctly.

It would be good to read over your part of the book...oh....about twice, then make notes out of index cards. Depending on how many more days you have, you can study for the test without wasting valuable time looking for your textbook.

gmat - "graduate management aptitude test"\n\nits like an entrance exam for MBA studies. they test you in three areas that is your english knowledge, your writing skills and quantitative skills.

With a reasonable amout of time and effort put into studying for the GMAT you should be able to score 100-200 points more in the test than you would have if you had taken the test without preparation.\n\nAn extra 200 or even 100 points on your GMAT score is likely to make a great deal of difference in how the business schools you want to apply to view your application.

Study your book and your notes.  Reread them, copy sections out, and try to explain the concept(s) to someone else without interuption - that was the best way for me...but take the time to find out which way helps you to memorize the material.  Classical music is said to help studing, but then again so is chewing gum. There's not one single thing it is merely studying your hardest.  Test will get easier the more you stud and the more you more the teacher's style of testing.  But don't cram the night or even the week end before the test.  Have a regular study habit.  I've been told what you don't know by 10pm the night before the test there is something like 75% or more probalblity that you won't remember it for the test.  Remember to get a good nights sleep before the test and have a good breakfast before the test as it is important to have a good have a clear head.  Remember to reread the question before answering just to be sure you know what is being asked, and take your time.

RELAX, don't study, it's a waste of time, review a Barrons GMAT book a few weeks in advance if you must, but don't stress it.\n\ntake a few exams from the study book, just to see how the style of the test is, so you won't be up for any suprises\n\nbut really, relax, you obviously aren't relaxed because you can't ace gmats ;) but you can get a perfect score!\n\nGood luck!
