Hey Guys,
Some quick background: I've been studying to take the GMAT for the first time this year (originally planned to take it in early May, but will probably have to push it back). I've been using Manhattan Prep and also the GMAT official guides. I got about three months of studying in the begeinning. However, I pretty much fell off the horse in the start of the new year (basically a two - three month absence) due to work demands. I'm finally able to set a good amount of time to get back to studying. However, I find myself a bit discouraged as I'm not sure if i should start where I left off or just start all over again. Does anyone have any experience getting back into the swing of things?
There's a few paths I believe I can take. 1) Start from scratch and go through all the books and problem sets again. 2) Start from where I left off and swing back around to learn what I did previously when I do my final review. or 3) spend a few weeks in the beginning to go over diagnostics and a high-level review of everything I've already studied.
If you guys have any recommendations or suggestions on the most efficient least painful path to take, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks and good luck to all of you!

Hi zhangerdreams,
If it's really been at least a couple of months since you studied consistently, then it would make sense for you to start off with a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test. That score will give us a good sense of your current strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. Remember that a FULL CAT (with the Essay and IR sections) takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can talk through your study plan options.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
