The Truth About GMAT Preparation Time<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Sankha<\/a> scored a GMAT Focus Edition 715 with just 30 days of preparation. While Dhananjay,<\/a> who worked 60+ hours a week full-time, needed 18 months to prepare and score the same. What did Sankha know that most GMAT test-takers don’t? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
