Well..thanx :)...I hope someone can tell me if my quant score is too low. Anyway, so I've been preparing for the GMAT for 6 months now. Yea, it took 6 mnths because I work full time and also a game addict. I'd say about 3 months hard work is more than enough to make it through (atleast for many). I did not spend any money on books. Just took it from our city library. I did however spend 250$ on the Kaplan Question Bank. It helped a bit, but not a lot. The day of the test was great. (Oh I had one attempt before this but I didn't even complete it, cancelled my scores). One very important thing I should be telling future test takers is to keep reminding themselves to "move on". Its very very easy to get stuck on one question that looks easy but can't figure out the answer. I had the same problem, so I kept telling myself "move on move on"....the clock runs out much faster than you think ! So that's my biggest advice to anyone, do NOT spend too much time on any question..."move on"...else you will see yourself struggling towards the end. I think my biggest advantage was doing the Kaplan books and the McGrawHill books. Do ALL the questions in the book. Its worth the pain. All the best to every future GMAT taker.
