re: Any tips on taking the GMAT?

I used the official guide (OG), the OG quant and verbal supplements, and Target Test Prep for quant.
It took me a couple of tries but once I started using Target Test Prep, it took me to the next level. Almost all of the online companies offer free trials so see what you like.
Also, what are your goals with the GMAT? Are you aiming for a 500-600 to get into a state school or 700+ for a M7 school? Your resources and time spent will change.
Stay away from expensive courses and any of the Kaplan stuff, it's a waste of money.
You will be incredibly frustrated at first but keep at it. The GMAT is a standardized test and can be learned over time. Take it from me, it took me almost a year to get a good score.
Good luck.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

Answering the question to the type of score you need and our target school will drastically impact the decision as the other posters have said.
