Hey,
I was wondering how many hours per day do other people prepare for the test?
How do you schedule preparing and doing something else so the preparing doesn't make you a no life that doesn't do anything else than prepare for the test?
SHOULD I prepare for the test all the time?
Any thoughts?
I don't want to turn into a zombie that does nothing but prepares for the test !
How do you balance it all out?
Thanks in advance for the answers

Hi Musicat,
Studying for the GMAT is probably unlike any type of studying that you've done before - to score at a high level, you can't really 'cram' for it. Instead, most Test Takers have to train consistently, often for several months, to hit their goals. In that way, it's similar to learning a musical instrument or training for a marathon. The process takes time.
To that end, you don't have to study every day, but studying in 'small chunks' throughout the week (with larger 'blocks' of study time on the weekends) is quite common.
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I did 1.5 hrs in the morning (before work) and then another 30 mins during lunch at work, reviewing my mistakes and doing quick memorization/testing of formulas and arithmetic I needed to memorize as well as any vocab words i needed to study.
Then at night after work I would do an hour of reading classics in English (GMAT fiction)
Then on weekends I would do 3-5 hrs that included doing a test by the end of my prep. However in the beginning I would just either study or take a sectional test ( Q or V only).
Every morning I would start with reviewing what I learned the day before. Reviewing my mistakes and make sure I knew how to solve each question I was stumped with (eg groups or overlapping sets or counting or combinations).
PS. I did not do any breaks or days off. That was hard. Would recommend one day a week to take off but probably not on a weekend.
