I'm studying now...
I'm currently enrolled in Kaplan’s Prep course. IMO, as an English major, I think you’re better off than I am with an Econ degree. I’m not sure if you’ve started studying or how much you know about the test. So here’s a few tidbits just in case…
The verbal tests your ability to reason and to decipher pertinent info … via short and long passages. Plus there’s a whole portion on grammar (which I suck at!). There are no “business” related questions… like micro/macro econ or accounting stuff. The math portion is based on a 9-10 grade level… algebra, geometry, and simple arithmetic. The essay section(2 different argument essays) is graded separately and not coded as part of the possible 800pts. From what I’ve heard, not all schools are interested in the essay score but it’s a toss up.
The worst part about this test… is that it’s only a CAT test now (computer aptitude test). Basically, depending on how you answer each question (getting it right or wrong) you will get either a harder or easier question next. Plus, you have 75 minutes to do all verbal… no separate sections. They can throw any question at you… sentence correction, reading comp passage.. or critical reasoning.. one after the other in any order. Same goes for the math section.
Not going to lie… it’s a rough test but I think with your english background you will have more than half the test on lock. Also, the key is learning the techniques and managing your time.
