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.
