Has anyone written, or currently studying for the GMATs?

I am planning on applying to a PhD Management program for September 2011, so my first step is to write the GMATs. I am pursuing entry into the PhD program without a Masters degree, so I know I need to get a really strong score.

I am pretty far removed from the world of academia at the moment, so just looking for some camaraderie. Any advice from BTDT mamas would be fantastic as well.

I took it last fall. It wasn't too bad. I've been a sahm for 7 years and was last in school 9 years ago. I had about a month to study, and read the GMAT for Dummies book plus did the online tests provided by the GMAT company. I did get my BA from a very academically strong college and read alot which I think helped my verbal scores. I didn't do quit as well on the math portion as it's been decades since I took algebra or geometry and I had never studied statistics. Lots of business related story problems and percentages.

Good Luck.
