GMAT prep tests


Mateo

Hi All,

I was just looking for some GMAT prep tests and I found a little information that might be useful for anyone who is looking for practice.

800Score - only $40 for this self-study, online program
http://www.800score.com

GMAT Pill - more expensive (about $350) for online video classes
http://www.gmatpill.com

Then I notice that a lot of these prep tests get a lot more expensive. Does anyone have any more advice for cheaper and helpful prep tests? Many thanks!

These are good suggestions, Mateo. Indeed, the better test preparation methods are expensive - and 1-on-1 tutoring, which can cost more than $2000 is probably a very effective method but out of most peoples' reach.

For a bare bones approach, I'd recommend the following:

1. Find a free computer adaptive GMAT test to take online - I know Princeton Review has one, as do other providers - just run a Google search to find some.

2. After you take your test, you'll have a good sense of your strengths and weaknesses. Find resources to buff out your weaknesses. Again, Google is your friend, but check out Youtube as well - many people post coherent, straightforward approaches to how they personally would solve these problems - and the video format provides intuitive instruction even if it isn't exactly 1-on-1.

3. Take another practice test and repeat.

4. For more assistance, do check out services like the Princeton Review or Manhattan - who offer robust and adaptable sessions. These do cost, however, but the cost usually scales with the services provided. You can also check Yelp or Craigslist to find local tutors - and if you've already targeted your weak points you may only need a couple hours of instruction.

Have you heard of Nanyang University?

Yes but you probably want to ask about it in the right place, which would be the Asia forum.
