"The GMAT is a beast. First thing first, what do you want to do after grad school? That should help determine what school you want to go to and what GMAT score you need to get to be admitted. Getting a MBA from one school can have a different meaning than getting one from another and you should be aware of that.
(My friend Jon and I long before he considered going back to school)
I initially paid $800 to take a GMAT prep course at ASU and they gave me those GMAT prep books, although I'm sure you can buy the same on eBay. Just look up GMAT prep and make sure you get a Quantitative and a Verbal/Qualitative book. The ASU course didn't do a lot for me, probably because I didnt study that hard on my own. I got a 570 the first time I took the official GMAT and I knew I needed a 660ish to get in to BYU/ASU. A year later I studied a lot on my own and that really helped me. I bought a GMAT Kaplan prep cd off ebay for $15. It has 6 prep tests. After studying on my own every day for 2 months I got a 680, which was good enough.
The reason I mention my scores is because Day1 at the ASU prep course, they made me take an old GMAT and I got a 450. If I can improve from a 450 to a 680, then I know you can too. Biz school has been awesome. Its harder than I thought it would be but also rewarding. I'd love to answer any qs for you..."
