Weekly 1-Month GMAT Study Schedule<\/a><\/h3>\n

In the words of our very own Chris Lele, “do you have what it takes – namely time – to commit yourself to GMAT prep?” If your answer is a resounding “YES!” then you’re ready for this Weekly 1-Month GMAT Study Schedule<\/a><\/strong>. It includes the Official Guide and Magoosh product, just like the others. However, this is a much broader study guide than the one above.

Math-Focused 3-Month GMAT Study Schedule<\/a><\/h3>\n

Maybe you’re a beginner, or maybe you just want to concentrate more on math review than verbal. In other words you’d rather go over data sufficiency sample questions than sentence correction question types. This Math-Focused 3 Month GMAT Study Schedule<\/a><\/strong> is for you! Although this plan covers Magoosh lessons on all topics, it focuses more heavily on the math problems so you can concentrate on strengthening your weaknesses. Oh, you’re a math whiz, you say? You want to concentrate more heavily on verbal GMAT questions? Then keep scrolling down to the next prep plan…
\n <\/p>\n

Verbal-Focused 3-Month GMAT Study Schedule<\/a><\/h3>\n

You have a strong math background, so you want to concentrate your GMAT practice questions to focus more on verbal during your GMAT prep. More critical reasoning section practice; less data sufficiency section. A little sentence correction and a bit of reading comprehension section; not so much GMAT quantitative section. You still have 3 months to study, but want to dedicate the majority of that time to improving your verbal skills (while still getting a good amount of GMAT math prep in). It sounds like the Verbal-Focused GMAT Study Guide Schedule<\/a><\/strong> is the study schedule for you! This study guide will cover all of Magoosh’s verbal problems twice<\/em> and a substantial amount of reading practice as well. Ready to get started? Then let the wise Mike McGarry lead you through this awesome 3-month GMAT preparation guide!
