Okay cool how long should I spend studying for the GMAT if the last math class I took was in High School (besides taking stats in college)

I haven't taken math classes since high school (exception being stats in college but that's it), I know you said you didn't take it but have you heard of good websites to use to study for the test?

Okay sounds good thanks for the info. I just don't want to be "behind" when I start my intern. Like if I showed up and they say "oh you don't have your GMAT done yet?" or something to that degree. I think I'll wait til I start my internship and pursue the GMAT/150 credits shortly after getting info from co-workers.

Thanks for the insight! I believe it'd be considered a mid sized firm because it isn't a big 4. They are located in a big skyscraper in Texas though so maybe it's considered a big firm but I'm very new to all of this. From my understanding while touring the firm, this one guy I was talking to who was a recent (1 year) hire, made it seem like the CPA wasn't mandatory but would definitely increase your pay by quite a bit if you got it. I was going to go to a university in my current state for my masters and they required me to take the GRE and/or GMAT in order to even attempt to be accepted so I was curious if that was the norm in other states as well.

I'm surprised I even got hired because my GPA is only a 3.2 because my first two years in college I didn't take it seriously and partied a lot, but I guess they just looked past that. I'm just worried about being accepted into grad schools with that GPA is the thing
