It's a test you need to prepare for but it's not that hard. You can't take it cold like the SAT. The types of questions are a bit trickier and more specific. If you don't prepare, you will spend too much time trying to figure out what they're asking. You can get a CD or whatever and just familiarize yourself with the types of questions and be fine.

I got the Barron's prep guide before I took it and that seemed to be all I needed. The test didn't seem all that hard. Depending on your educatoinal background, the math portions might be difficult.

I'm currently studying for the GMAT myself...the math part is a piece of cake for me, I'm concerned about the writing assessment and the reading comprehension. I guess visiting SoonerFans every day isn't the best way for me to prepare! :P

Anyway, any pointers in regards to GMAT preperation would be greatly appreciated!

Do a lot of practice tests and practice questions from those prep books.

Just write in "Chuck Norris" for each answer, and you will score 8,000



It's been 15 years since I took the GMAT, but I agree with SoonerinKCMO -
get a book and study up.

i used a cd back in 98 and it was all i needed for prep. the written part doesn't really matter unless you get a low score. the key thing to understand is the math problems, they aren't something that you saw a lot of in school. schools brag about their average GMAT score so the higher it is the simpler it is to get into the program.
