GMAT Courses
You should begin preparing for the GMAT one to three months before test day. You may need more time (two to five months) if you have been out of school for some time and need to brush up on material. In general, you should spend at least 50 hours preparing.
There are two main options: a GMAT online course or a GMAT class course.
Online courses are an inexpensive way to get started and learn the fundamentals. Online courses are perfect for students who do not live where reputable classroom courses are offered or who don't have the time.
A GMAT classroom course will be more expensive and may take time, but it provides in-depth support and motivation. Many students use an online course to start and then use a classroom course to focus on weak areas.
