I would like to take the test in about three months, can anyone give me some pointers? I took Kaplan's self diagnostic quiz tonight and it appears I need to brush up on my algebra :nervous:

 

is this similar to the CPA?

 

kaplan is bullshit. i did Princeton review, it's way better. their strategies are much more effective.

i got 715 on my gmats

 

What is the difference between their strategies?

 

I got 800.

 

have u taken the kaplan aswell?

 

PR helps you develop strategies to pace yourself well through the test. the method you need to tackle various questions to save a ton of time is better explained by them

i personally have not. but i know several friends who have and their take on it was that it just explains and teaches you what appear on the gmat and how to solve their problems with no special/effective strategies.

GMAT is unlike most CATs. imho there is a particular way to get er done specially with barely anytime.

 

what would u say the difference between the gmat and gre are?

 

I never took GRE, so i am not quite sure of the exact differences, but i think GRE is much like a super advanced SAT.

gmat is all about quick thinking, doing math with no calculator, and to top it off has negative marking.

 

ahh i see im horrible at math so im glad im taking the GREs
