Anyone who's looking to pursue a MBA needs to take the Graduate Management Admission Test — or the GMAT for short.

You may think the exam will be a breeze, but it's possible you've forgotten how to buckle down and study for such a big test, especially if you're a few years out of college.

There are several great tutoring services that offer personalized test prep, but they can get expensive. Since the exam alone will set you back $250, opting for an affordable alternative may be better for your wallet.

Fortunately, the following courses will teach you everything you need to know about the GMAT, and they are all less than $50.
