Remember too that the GMAT is not related at all to business topics...its all algebra, calculus, trig, etc.
Unless you are applying to a top tier school (Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, U. Chicago, etc.), most will look primarily at your GMAT score, undergrad GPA, and your work experience...in that order.
Just FYI, to get into the University of Tulsa (not top tier, but definitely a well-respected, well-known school in the Midwest) you needed a minimum 3.0 GPA and a minimum 500 GMAT. You also had to have three letters of reference and a personal statement.
I took the GMAT with only a weekend to study. Granted, I am good at math and remembered alot of my high school and college courses, so I did fine with just a few days.
As far as the actual test goes, its all done on computer now so be prepared for that. Also, the test varies in difficulty based on how you are doing. I kept getting questions that looked like gibberish at first so I knew that I was doing alright. If you get 4x4 as a question, you are probably not in great shape. But I would definitely recommend studying hardcore for the math if that isn't what you are good at. Regardless of your background, all MBA schools should require Calculus, 1 or 2 statistics courses, as well as the prerequisite Accounting, Finance, etc. courses.
Oh, the other thing to remember is that the writing section at the end of the test (I believe it is at the end) is not graded and does not count against your final score. So don't sweat that part!
Any other questions feel free to PM me.
