I hadn't taken a test in about 25 years, so I was very rusty about how to prepare for the GMAT. I bought the GMAT Review Book (published by GMAC) and I registered on mba.com to get access to online exams. I found out later that just about everything in the book ($50) is available on mba.com for free - except you do get more sample test questions in the book. I didn't really think about taking the prep course although I heard later from others that it was really helpful, particularly for the math portion.
I knew that I'd do fine on the english and writing sections, but wasn't confident about the math so that's where I focused. Amazing how much algebra and geometry I have forgotten. I spent about 2 months studying for the test (3x/week for about an hour or so a day). I felt that I was prepared. Made my appointment at the testing center - several weeks in advance - and spent half a Saturday taking the test. As I thought, I did well on the english and writing sections but fell down hard on the math. Still did well enough overall to get a pretty good score.
