GMAT study tip

Here is a tip for those of you who may be struggling with your GMAT prep strategy.  Start with the generic prep books to get a sense of where you stand, overall.  From there, you can get advanced books, verbal, quantitative, or essay prep books depending upon your needs.  Once you have gone through several books with ease, take several practice tests.  The online version of the GMAT is very different than the old paper-based version, and requires different test-taking strategies.  Familiarize yourself with the test rules, and plan accordingly.  Remember, this is the foundation for a strong application.  Take the test seriously.
