Help with GMAT / MBA

I’ve decided I want to do an MBA depending on how well I do on the GMAT. So does anyone have any advice for preparing for the GMAT or any resources you used. Also need to make a study plan of sorts so any tips on that also appreciated.

Target Test Prep is good. Also there is a free Magoosh app for iPhones to test vocabulary.

Also, I think you should first decide if you want to take the GMAT or the GRE.

Thanks for the help🤝I’ll check out Target Test Prep but I’m definitely decided on GMAT over GRE based on my research.

My only problem is that based on my earlier career choices (I.e. from when I was 16 and wanted to be a lawyer😂) I have not done much maths since then, so I’m playing catch up relearning quadratics etc etc. but I’m sure I’ll get there eventually.

One reason I like the GRE better is that is has a calculator. Also, the GRE is accepted in other fields other than finance if I changed my mind and wanted to do a PhD in Neuroscience. I'm applying for a FT MBA this year though and have opted to just go for a test waiver. I've gotten one before at a T15 school.

Dolorem aut laborum et non. Sequi enim fugit adipisci ut. Voluptatibus reiciendis quaerat illum expedita ea. Et ut vel minus voluptas facere.
