I bought a Manhattan prep book and worked it and took timed practice tests. Got a 740

750+ and I only did the original GMAT ones. It included the general, verbal, and quant books. I also bought the extra tessts and the quant only test.

To expand on this. Took a practice exam to get a baseline. Then studied randomly throughout the day by doing 10 practice questions out of their online test bank. Did this for around 3 months. Then taking practice exams evenly spread throughout that time with the last one 2 weeks before the actual gmat so that I could iron the last few things out.

Would advise against the expensive ($1000+) prep courses like Veritas. I did Veritas and thought it was really well put together and educational but when I took the actual test I felt Veritas prepped me in the wrong direction. Ended up doing a bunch of free practice GMATs online and retook it. Can’t remember the exact increase in score but it was decent. I felt the free online practice GMAT tests was better than Veritas.

750 using only the official GMAT practice tests (2 included plus the 4 available to purchase). Try those out with googling wrongly answered questions before dropping $$$ on courses

Just needing a safe place to vent. We were extra vigilant about the holidays with our two kids under the age of 5 requiring everyone to test and be vaccinated and keeping our gathering extremely small. Nope…not enough. We are now quarantined because my kids can’t be vaccinated and are too young to wear masks. Thankfully my husband and I can rotate parental obligations so we can work, but I’m exhausted and it’s year end so extra busy.
