GMAT - the test that stands between us and our dream B school. Obviously there are other factors like application, essays, LOR & interview, but in my opinion GMAT score is the most important as it allows the admission committee of a particular school to judge all applicants on an even scale.
All top Bschools take GMAT scores ( quant, verbal & AWA) very seriously. So, thats why it becomes very important to prepare well to crack the GMAT and get a great score.
Now, anyone can score better in GMAT with good preparation in a structured format. Many of us still struggle for good GMAT preparation material and GMAT mock tests. We suggest the following approach for getting a good score in GMAT.
1) Give a Diagnostic test or a trial exam ...just to see where you stand & know GMAT format.
2) Start with Tutorials from verbal & quant books
3) After you are done with the above books go to difficult books like Kaplan 800 . Tougher books dont tell you the basics and start with higher level questions. So dont jump to these directly.
4) Then if you are comfortable, take full length tests periodically to see improvement in scores, to judge your ability to handle entire test together and to discover new improvement areas.

Nice Post. Most Students dreaming to pursue their studies in a Top B-School. Passing GMAT is necessary. So the important thing is how we prepare for the exam. Books is good idea but we have to take expert training. I just gone through a website of e-GMAT [http://e-gmat.com/]. They provide Audio Visual Lessons to their students. At e-GMAT they make sure that you prove a good understanding of the basics before you attempt more difficult problems. Register for FREE trial.
