Hello everyone, Currently planning to take the GMAT in 2-3 months from now... I just started doing some basic research on the exam and found this website to be an extremely useful source of information... Many users have posted detailed explanations about their test day experience and preparation...but the question that I can't seem to find an answer for is.... Where to begin? Does anyone have any advice on how I should start preparing for the GMAT? I am contemplating if I should purchase the Official Guide for GMAT review, 13th edition or start off by taking a Kaplan course or Manhattan GMAT... What are your thoughts?

Hi all, I am planning to take GMAT this year. What is the major change that is taking place in the format of GMAT? Also, how frequent is it that the international universities grant scholarships to international students? I have a year's work ex and plan on pursuing MBA soon, preferably from one of the global top 50 universities. Since it's a heavy investment, I want to know the options of scholarships/aid. Can you guys help me out here?? Thanks a ton! :)
