If you’re thinking of taking the GMAT, then rest assured you’re going to need some help. While there are a number of excellent preparation courses (at various price points) available both online and in classroom settings that can certainly lead to an improvement in your GMAT score, do you actually need to pay for GMAT prep?
There are many free resources out there to get you started and benefit you to test date and beyond.
Go direct to the business school…
If you’re considering an MBA but unsure of what the GMAT consists of, and how much work it will take to pass with a high score, there are plenty of online tests that allow you to gauge your level. Many such tests, such as these options from London Business School, are provided directly by business schools. They can be a great introduction to the GMAT.
