<p>Alright, first off, I know you guys are probably going to think what I'm doing is ridiculous, but just bear with me and help me out as best as you can. </p>
<p>Having said that, I'm a sophomore and I'm thinking about doing some light GMAT prep. Right now, I go to a nontarget, and I'm aiming to go to a top Macc program to give myself a shot at ibanking or consulting, and if that doesn't happen, i'm hoping for Big 4 TAS and then getting into a top MBA. </p>
<p>Because I'm aiming for the top Maccs and my work experience/GPA aren't spectacular, I'm aiming for no less than 730 and ideally 750+ on the GMAT to give myself a shot. So my question is, are there any good books about general GMAT strategy and things I can do in everyday life to prepare for the GMAT?I've started to read the WSJ and things like that more often, but is there other stuff I can do to help myself out when the time comes?</p>
<p>The best way to prepare for the GMAT is to do the problems. The Test is very learn-able with limited amount of concepts being tested.</p>
<p>The math section tests at most 30 different mathematical concepts that after enough problem sets will become second nature to you.</p>
<p>The verbal is the same with sentence correction i believe having 8-12 different concepts and memorizing certain grammar rules and combinations. The reading comprehension has 5 different type of questions. The last type of verbal which is i believe termed as logic reasoning(?) has 5-8 i believe.</p>
<p>Go buy the official GMAT guide, and buy the Princeton books, those i found very helpful. Get your hands on as many problems as you can and do a couple a day, like 5 from each problem type, probably take you an hour. </p>
<p>If you start to understand your mistakes i guarantee that after 3-4 months you will be in the 700+ range no problem. About 2250-3000 problems later :)</p>
