Help to set up a study plan for 70 days [#permalink] Help to set up a study plan for 70 days   30 Sep 2015, 14:17
Hello guys,

I'm new at the fórum but a friend told me that you guys are the best!

Right now I've got a problem in my hand: I need to set up na study plan to score 600 in 70 days. I know that this is possible but, what I don't know is how I'm going to score that 600!
I have 3 hours every day to study monday - Saturday. total os 15 hours per week.

I already enroll in a GMAT prep. course here in Brazil and I´ve been studing cracking the gmat and tring to do some Official guide problems to. My biggest fear is the math since I'm all rusty about this subject.

Can someone help me set a study plan for this? I'm all lost in how I'm going to score 600.

Thank you very much,


Eddie

Hi Eddie,

You mentioned that you've enrolled in a GMAT Course - has that Course started yet? When is it scheduled to finish?

Have you taken any FULL-LENGTH CATs yet (as part of the Course)? If you have, then how have you scored (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)? If you have not, then do you know when you will take your first CAT?

Your score goal certainly seems reasonable, but until we have a 'baseline' score (for comparison purposes), it's tough to offer any specific advice. 70 days may or may not be enough time for you to get up to the 600+ level.

Hi EMPOWERgmatRichC,

thank you for your help.

The course already started. Yes I'd took the CAT a and I score 400. I forget the proportion but it was better in verbal, acctually much better.
I just bought the Foundations MATH and Number Properties from Manhattan.

I know that my weakness is with the basic foundations like: Algebra and number properties. Ratio is a little hard too...But the thing that I'm most concerned is this: I watch the classes and read the books but when I went to take a feel Question of math is appears another MATH. It's so weird and frustrating...


thanks,

Eddie

Hi Eddie,

For free math practice and help, I recommend that you set up an account at Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org). The site is completely free and makes the learning a bit more fun and 'game-like' (as opposed to the dry academic approach taken by most books). While the site is vast, you should limit your studies to basic Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry.

If you have trouble finding time to (re)-learn the math and work on the GMAT, then you might want to ask to 'pause' your Course for a couple of weeks and come back to it a little later.

Hello again,

I just finished the Number properties and foundations of GMAT math books by MGMAT. It really helped me to remember a LOT of math.
Now I would like to move on and finish the math part by studying the left over of math that is(I think): probability And statistics . What book would you guys recommend buying?


I set the test day to January 4. So I still got 60 days to finish the subjects and work a lot of questions.

If you guys could help me I would appreciate!

Thanks again,


Eddie

Hi Eddie,

It's important to take FULL-LENGTH CATs at regular intervals throughout your studies. If it's been some time since your last CAT, then it would be a good idea to take one soon, so that we can get an updated assessment of your skills. Once you have that score, you should report back here.
