Hey Addict,
I've got 2 months left... What material should I focus my attention on and what should I save until later? Can you recommend a schedule? I'm looking to do 2 hrs each night.
Weaknesses: Verbal. Am hitting ~77% on all sections through 200 1000Series questions... Need to get to 90%.
Here is what I have:
OG 11
OG 11 Supplements
Veritas Prep Books
GMAT Plus
Manhattan GMAT Prep Books
Kaplan
PR
Retired MBA.com Tests
1000Series questions
I was planning on leaving
OG questions until 1 month left... not sure what you think about that... Plus I plan on leaving GMATPrep until the last 2 weeks.
Thoughts?
K. Veritas, GMAT Plus, Manhattan, Kaplan, PR - burn those or sell them. They are 100000% useless.
All you need is PowerPrep, GMATPrep,
OG, Paper Tests, and the only useful 1000 series are the SC's, too many of the CR's are taken from LSAT's and you're wasting your time learning those.
3 hours a day should be fine. Maybe even 4, do 1 during the day then 3 in the evening, or do
MTW Thursday off, Friday Sat, Sunday off.
What are your Q/V's?
Here's what I would recommend.
Write 2-3 GMATPrep's a week, then go over your answers and review/learn all the fundamentals from the questions you get wrong. Then try to get your accuracy higher by doing lots of questions from SC 1000, that's a great resource. If you're getting 77% there are probably a few concepts you're not understanding, perhaps tenses, moods, idioms, etc. Take note of the ones you get wrong and try to understand what the question is testing, then go learn that concept.
Again, but the first thing is to burn (or, sell) all of those books. Useless. Completely useless. I remember when I was studying off that crap, I'd learn their SC rules then go do
OG guide stuff and get completely demolished (they don't know grammar).
But yeah I *HATE* those books. The people who wrote them have never scored high, besides maybe Veritas.
