Test tomorrow.

Anyone taken the GMAT? I should be taking it sometime in July. I'm currently taking a month long prep course, which I'm hoping should clear out some cobwebs on some subjects I haven't dealt with since 8th grade. Anyways, any advice would be welcome.

I took the GMAT back in the summer of 2009. I took a free practice test a few months before the real thing and I bombed it, so I knew I'd have to study up before the real thing. I didn't take any classes that summer and spent a couple of months studying and doing practice tests from Peterson's Master the GMAT. Then I did fine on the GMAT, at least well enough to get into the program I wanted to. So my advice would be to study and practice, practice practice. If your prep course doesn't provide enough practice questions or exams then spend the $30 or so and get a book.

Thanks everyone. I hate that "too much rep in 24 hours thing. I'll try to get everyone when I can though.

There ended up being stuff they didn't tell me about, so the stuff I didn't study for I fell on my face. But I passed the **** out of the stuff I did study. I gotta go back Thursday and retake the stuff I failed. More studying! Woohoo... -_-

Go back to take the stuff you failed? Is this the informal Math and English entry exam that some colleges have? What subjects did you struggle with?

Either way, good luck.

Ya, I was surprised when she told me to come back and take the stuff I failed. Must think I'm cute.
I guess so. I have no idea how they do it in other colleges though. Math. They had a whole lot more than they told me about so I was rusty.

you sure it wasn't music and not math?

They are going to put in you in their pre-algebra equivalent course.

If you're going for a science/engineering major, then building a solid math foundation is incredibly helpful. Otherwise, just push through those two basic algebra classes that most people take, which isn't a big deal.

I think you'll be just fine.
