DISCLAIMER: I also posted this on reddit.
Hello! I've set my goal to take the GMAT exam on Nov 17th this year. What I'm struggling with a lot right now is having a right study plan (there is just so much stuff on the internet/reddit I get very confused) and I was hoping some of you may help - especially if you are a REAL person and not a bot/individual bought by the online courses.
Background:
Now that you know a bit about me, my concern is related to the best way I can study for the GMAT with the exam being around 17th November, with a potential backup exam on the 3rd of December. So in 89 days I need to prepared for a very important exam.
So what I came here for is help regarding a study guide.
How do I go on about learning the foundation, error track, practice questions, which resources to use, when to do mocks etc. In the 89 days I have left, with the 5 hours weekday and 8 or even more days in the weekend. Ask me for more info or any questions, I just want a clear blueprint that I can follow.
Also I will keep you updated, week by week so it's more fun for you, and more gut wrenching for me (kidding, we love accountability).
Thanks!
Hello! I've set my goal to take the GMAT exam on Nov 17th this year. What I'm struggling with a lot right now is having a right study plan (there is just so much stuff on the internet/reddit I get very confused) and I was hoping some of you may help - especially if you are a REAL person and not a bot/individual bought by the online courses.
Background:
- Going into the 3rd and final year of Business Administration (in English);
- GPA on the rise: first year GPA was 7.00/10 (closer to a 2.00 I think when you convert it) and this last year it reached about 7.95/10 (so about 2.95). The first year I just couldn't be bothered about uni, but surprise surprise I had the "revelation" I need to LOCK IN and get ready for masters abroad.
- Also doing other courses to try and offset my bad GPA (statistics, math, finance related courses etc.)
- Had a treasury apprenticeship at a big bank, also went do Deloitte for a "audit summer academy" and now I am talking with someone for a potential internship (which I am going to start after GMAT) - So basically, until the exam I have a lot of free time for studying: 4-5 hours during weekdays, 8 hours weekends.
- My GMAT official practice exam was (don't you dare laugh!): 495 Q70, V77, D77. Which I expected to be worse, as I was very good at maths in middle school, but didn't do much in high school & uni.
- What I aim for is: at least 665-675 which I know it's a huge difference, some would say I am maybe delusional. But the doubts of my peers are nothing but ash beneath the blaze of my ambition - said me. Point being is that I target masters in finance at HEC Paris, ESSEC, Bocconi, ESCP, ST. Gallen and Frankfurt, and with my GPA being mediocre at best (while at least on the rise) I want to have the strongest application I can.
- GMAT resources I have:
- GMAT Official Guide 2024-2025 from mba gmat official prep. So the GMAT Official Guide, Verbal Review, Quant Review and Data Insight Review + starter kit.
- TTP which is soon going to expire. I find it alright, but I do strongly feel like they just want you to keep you paying for as long as they can. Materials are fine I guess, as I do believe I need a solid theoretical foundation. Got it late April, did a bit until June and just recently got back on it.
- And the GMAT Club which I recently kinda figured out, and wanted to ask right here about it.
- Also started looking at the GMAT Ninja videos.

Going through a few prep journey posts by people who've scored well or improved their scores could help provide some helpful insight. Even if you don't see yourself following someone's prep path very closely, perhaps what they did/used for a particular section (e.g. Verbal) is info you find super helpful. If CR is an issue, consider checking out Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for Critical Reasoning. When it comes to official mocks, consider saving at least one in case you retake for any reason.
