Has anyone here done or is planning to sit the GMAT next year? I am preparing to sit for it for my MBA.

I don't think it's so common for MBAs to ask GMAT... is it?

I dare you to draw a two-toned spotted weewee behind the last page and call it

I'll eventually take the GMAT - I plan to study for it over the course of a couple of years.

If it requires no specific knowledge, how can you study for it? theres basic math and grammar type skills you need to know. plus practice makes perfect.

Kind of defeats the purpose of the test though doesn't it? no, the basic skills are tools to help you solve the problems, what they actually are testing is reasoning, logic, etc. very much like the SATs in that respect. its not a test of memorisation if thats what youre getting at.

I took the GRE, but I think it's similar to GMAT in many ways. Absolutely hated the logic portion of it. The best way to prepare for these exams is just to take as many of the sample exams as possible. Bon chance!

Yeah, practicing how to make cookie cutter molds in the head. Standardized tests... they permeate my dreams. Will you be working and doing school at the same timeÉ. The french keyboard is killing me.

...But I really wish that getting into school was simply a matter of presenting one's school transcripts, test scores, and nailing the interview(s). - These will almost always be the most important considerations though wouldn't you say? - As others have said: take as many practice exams as possible under exam conditions. Familiarity and pacing is what you need.

Has anyone here done or is planning to sit the GMAT next year? I am preparing to sit for it for my MBA. Yes (and have studied for/taken the LSAT and GRE years ago when I was an ambitious Ivy League dork that cared about having a "career"). The Princeton Review-style courses may be worth it, if you find it hard to summon the discipline to actually force yourself to study/practice. I took the Princeton Review series for several of the tests and found that the instructors were well-prepared. I still needed to take as many practice tests as I could to improve my pace and discipline (my attention wanders on the math problems -- after solving them, I like to go on mathematical tangents for alternate solutions). ...But I really wish that getting into school was simply a matter of presenting one's school transcripts, test scores, and nailing the interview(s). Alas, there are the personal statements and recommendations too -- those are my Stalingrad when it comes to the grad school rejections process... I guess that I just don't have the political savvy to re-enter the hallowed halls of academia. F*ck 'em all, I say. Oh... I'd think that finding other people who don't think you're a f***tard shouldn't be *that* hard unless you really are a f***tard. If it's been awhile and you need an academic recommendation and the profs don't remember you, that might be a problem. As for the personal statement, it seems to me that should be the easiest and funnest part of the application process. For me it hasn't been about "what is the admissions committee looking for?" but more a kind of soul-searching about what I was expecting to get out of higher education.
