Hi all,
I'm going to be a senior this year and I figure its time to get started with preparing for the good ole' GMAT.
I figure to be very strong with the verbal section and the prep will mostly be for my math. I've taken up through college Calculus but haven't had a dedicated math since my freshman year. I'll probably take another math in the spring semester to get some fresh exposure.
So, my question to everyone is simple: Which program will be the best for a classroom environment with a heavier emphasis on the Quant section?
Thanks!

you don't need a program and you don't need calculus for gmat math either. sign up for a gmat test date in 2-3 months (give yourself some wiggle room but not much) and that'll force yourself to study.

Thanks, I was gonna buy a few books anyways but I'd still like a classroom environment as well. I've always been great at algebra and but less so at geometry/shapes/vol/diameter...that kind of stuff. Is there a lot of that on the exam?
Here to learn and hopefully pass on some knowledge as well. SB if I helped.
yeah need to know those
yeah need to know those geometric rules and theorems....it goes up to an Algebra II level but that should be it. one of the guys on this forum has a study guide/cheat sheet of some sort, do a search for GMAT and you should find it.
Make sure whatever book you
Make sure whatever book you get has information and prep material on the new section that was added in June to the GMAT.
My guess is a lot of books out there won't be updated yet. Would really suck to show up without having even looked at it.
Also, if you are only heading into your senior year, I would focus more on recruiting and try to take the GMAT next summer. The score is only good for 5 years so if you take it too early you'll have less wiggle room later.
