Is there anyone preparing for the GMAT exam these days or did anyone have a chance to sit in the exam lately? If so, please share your experiences. Also, could someone please recommend some really good books for GMAT? I know that everyone would name Kaplan, Princetonreview and Official GMAT Guide (10th or 11th edition), but I am more interested to hear from those guys who have taken the exam lately and they actually prepared for the exam using these books. Which book reflects GMAT’s level of difficulty best? Please share anything you can. Thanks

Re: GMAT Exam and Related Questions
anybody taken kaplan courses? i want to but they seem so expensive...are they worth it?
Re: GMAT Exam and Related Questions
well, right now, Kaplan is offering GMAT course for 1300 dollars …Princetonreview is offering it for 1250 dollars…
are you aiming for top 20 business schools only ? I guess, if someone really wants to go for a full time MBA program after working for 5 or 6 years, he better go to a top 20 program, otherwise, it is really not worth much. Every other tom, dick and harry has an MBA degree these days from state schools.

thanks for the reality check!
i just met a family friend on the train today who is my age (22) is an auditor for private clients, done with her CPA, going for CFA AND has bought her own Co-op in queens!! i felt like such a loser!
1300 for kaplan sounds expensive…is it really worth it?
Re: GMAT Exam and Related Questions
You seem to be too young to be qualified for a Top 20 business program. Do you have a solid 3 years work experience? No doubt, Harvard/Stanford/Duke/NYU like to bet on young horses but then, those young horses must have shown some inevitable signs of entrepreneurship with an outstanding academic background. So far taking a Kaplan Course to prepare for GMAT is a good idea or not, honestly speaking, it would entirely be a personal decision depending upon many factors e.g. your current verbal and quantitative status, motivation to study by yourself etc. I would suggest searching the website whose link was provided by teen dabbay walla in his post. It is a wonderful website.
