Not taken the GMAT yet but wanna make sure I do things the right way. First up, I'm a horrible test taker, so know that up front. And that has me considering paying for a tutor or something. And I keep seeing ads and posts about the 'top' or 'best' GMAT prep courses but I'm skeptical… Like, are they worth it or did you end up self-studying anyway? Trying not to waste cash since my current job barely pays enough as is (nonprofit life is rewarding but not financially!). Is it worth splurging on something like coaching? Would love to hear honest stories, good or bad!

So I'm at the stage where I need to start thinking about pretty to take the GMAT and I keep seeing ads and posts about the 'top' or 'best' GMAT prep courses but I'm skeptical… Like, are they worth it or did you end up self-studying anyway? Trying not to waste cash since my current job barely pays enough as is (nonprofit life). Is it worth splurging on something like coaching? Would love to hear honest stories, good or bad!
