2. I have already strated with my GMAT preparation on my own. However, I wish to join classes as it provide GMAT coaching+TOEFL+Post exam consulting at Rs.30000. So, in short its a ONE STOP SHOP. Is it a right decision or can there be an alternative ?

Hello

I am 33yrs old man , who wants to take up MBA for extending my knowledge about corporate level business and to find contacts and associations to start up the kind of companies I want.

I am financially well off, never did any job in my life for salary. But did some local businesses and know trades at town level .

I do not have a mathematics background , my degree is in science and biology where I have been a meritorious student.

I want to give GMAT exam in 6 months or so , and I am absolutes clueless about the maths part.

I live in Hyderabad , I thought of joining princeton / manhattan / times...some institute but after going through some videos about coaching and materials , I felt , may be I should WARM UP a bit before I can actually take up the class.

Looking for some personal guidance or a study group or a regular email correspondence who can understand that I am at level ZERO and striving to rise up .

Looking forward for suggestions.
