so if you are applying for business school, pretty much everyone will have a full-time job. If you don’t have a full-time job and you’re applying, you’re not going to get in because you’re unemployed and you don’t have good letters of recommendation so expectation is that you do have a job and it is full-time and you also do awesome at it. 😬That’s a lot.
I know some jobs are very demanding and some people are stuck in 50 or 60 hour weeks.
my recommendation is to decide what is the most important aspect for you and adjust your priorities. If Business school and B.A. are more important, you should give your best time to GMAT prep and to applications which means you don’t do them after work at night but instead you do them before work or You figure something out with your schedule....
I only studied for about an hour and a half of maximum of two hours per day of active studying and question solving. I did that in the morning before I started work and then during the day I would study some vocabulary that I needed to learn because I was international and I would just read books at night to help my reading comprehension skills but all of my studying I did early in the morning before work. I did minimum amount of studying during work just maybe solving a few questions that I had trouble with or reviewing some of my mistakes from the previous tests but that was fairly minimal.
Based on your question and my previous answer this would mean I spent about eight hours studying between Monday and Friday and then I would probably study about four hours on Saturday and four hours on Sunday. I usually have 22 hour sessions on the weekend or maybe I would take a sectional test or something like that. Being about 15 to 20 hours a week of studying.

I think it was a mistake on my side not to have a single day off so I would recommend that you have a day off built into your schedule. That will help you have less burn out and be more social. I didn’t do anything besides work and studying for three months. I would also recommend that you create a calendar and you plan out what you’re going to do and what material you’re going to cover each of the weeks in each of the days. You can use the calendar to motivate you and stay consistent and if you study before work there’s nothing that gets in your way at 6 AM 😂
