Do you think it's worth taking a GMAT prep course?

Asked by Soledad almost 12 years ago

Everyone's situation is different. Obviously if you know for a fact that your math/verbal test-taking skills are atrocious, then yes, a prep course is probably worth it. But if you've historically done well (or even reasonably well) in those subjects, I'd suggest the following... When you register for the GMAT, you'll receive free test prep materials. When I took the exam several years ago, they sent registrants a book of ~1,000 practice questions and answers. I'm not sure if they still send these books or if they instead provide software, but either way, they'll give you plenty of practice materials. Spend 1-2 months (depending on how much free time you can devote on a daily/weekly basis) and go through all of the practice questions and answers... then go through them again. Finally, schedule and take your GMAT. If you're not pleased with your score, THEN consider taking a prep course and retake the exam. The fact is, one can take the GMAT almost any given week, so you might as well at least give yourself a shot at the exam without spending the time and money ($1000+) for a prep course if you don't really need it. At worst, you'll get a subpar score the first time around, then take a prep course, and most likely improve the second time around. And for that second time around, you'll already have 1-2 months of studying under your belt, so you'll know which problem areas to really zero in on with your instructor.

Do you think the status of the MBA has been lowered now that it has become status quo? Before getting your Bachelor's was the *thing* and now everyone needs to have at least an MBA to even "matter". Makes sense?
