Is 3 weeks enough time to prepare for the GMAT from scratch?  I need to get a 529.?

3 weeks is definitly pushing it- if you have exams coming up... I'm willing to go with a no... but if you have a LOT of free time (and I mean a lot, because it takes a lot) then you could pull it off- its just hard. Either way you look at it... if you do prepare, and write the test... and don't get the mark you wanted sure you don't get in... but you do gain valuable experience.. and you can always take it again next year. If you don't take it.. you won't get in... and you don't get the experience. Either way.. I'd take it even if it means you'll fail it just so that you get the experience. Graduate schools look at the higher mark.

I got my MBA just before my xxth birthday.  As Dear Abby used to say, "And how old would you be in three years if you don't get that degree?" She was right.  You can be three years older without the degree, or with it. \nI am very glad I did it - I basically started a whole new (and more lucrative) career in finance, but my electical engineering background helps immensely.  \nTwo recommendations: 1) pick the absolutely best school you can - don't go to the community college or you'll be wasting your valuable time, 2) consider strongly leaving your current job/company when you get your degree - that's the only way to capture your new value.

Yeah just take a few pratice tests from the practice books. Then I reccomend doing a Princeton Review or some other training program, though costly it'll get you results. Almost everyone's score goes up after taking those. Mine did too. And be sure to take the PSATs.

If I had to guess, I'd say on average a couple months. If you check their website, or The Princeton Review's, you can do a sample test to see where you stand now. With that, and knowing what score you need, see if you need to work really hard or not at all. I would say you're better off taking the test once and maybe having to repeat it, than studying like mad until you're convinced you'll ace it.

I'll assume, since you plan to take the GMAT, that you're applying for an MBA program. Just do it. Apply to the grad schools. Anything even close to a 3.0 is considered pretty damn good by grad schools, as long as you have good recommendation letters and you're not a lazy bum. A second bachelor's degree won't help you with much.

Yes you can prepare on your own there are books available at book stores.But rather you should join some classes.There are many clases running crash courses for 15 days or 1 month.They give you pretty good idea about the exam.The reading part is the one which requires most of the efforts.I think you should join sm classes because its a lot of money for the exam so dont take any risks.

need: Transcripts and recommendation letters from previous school, TOEFL, GRE/GMAT if applying for grad school. If you do not have money to pay for it, have to find whatever is necessary for Financial Aid - proof of no money (bank statement, parent's salary), and have good idea for  "statement of purpose" (wanna make the world a better place, in this specific&realistic way, which requires education)\n\nCan only work for your university, part-time (up to 20hrs/week), and likely in related fields. Maybe can do full-time summer internships and 1-year Optional Practical Training after graduation.

If your employer is aware of your background, then they're going to be lenient about your lack of knowledge. Ask questions! The first 3 months you are there should be spent getting onto the learning curve.

When you register on ets you should be able to get some free stuff from them, I got their CD practice for the GRE and it was excellent (I know you said GMAT).\nThe other book I found to be helpful was Kaplan, do not get princeton review, Kaplan is more helpful specially the section on the back.\nNO CALCULATORS ALLOWED
