Best Answer:

Taking full-length practice tests is crucial to GMAT success. It's also important to familiarize yourself with the different kinds of questions that appear on the GMAT, and to learn problem-solving and time-management strategies.

It's hard to address your last question. Think about your career goals. Most b-schools will publish information about the career achievements of their alumni on their website, in addition to the interests of current students--look to see if your aspirations match theirs. There is no one career path to follow post-MBA program, but there are certain careers in which an MBA will help put you on the fast-track to success. Hope this is helpful, and good luck.
