Hey everyone!
In 6.5 weeks I will be taking my GMAT exam (Oct. 2nd to be exact). I have been studying full time for the past 1.5 weeks, and I feel quite overwhelmed because I do not know how to study effectively for the test. Until now, I have been studying for +/- 9 hours per day (only focusing on either Quant or SC) while not giving myself enough breaks during the sessions. I know that this is overkill, and I can also feel that I am overstudying (feeling tired, distracted easily, and not retaining information as well as before).
The hardest part for me is prioritising how and what to study. Therefore, I have a few questions:
- Should I combine studying for Quant and Verbal on the same day?
- How do I most effectively study for the Verbal section? (especially RC and SC)
- Should I make practice exercises every day, or should I first focus to cover ALL of the theory?
- Do I even need all the study materials I have? (listed below) And which ones should I prioritise?
Study Materials:
- OG Materials 2022
- Manhattan Prep 'All the' series
- Magoosh (videos & practice questions)
- 'Advanced Quant' from both Manhattan Prep & OG 2022 ----- Haven't opened these yet
- Powerscore CR Bible ----- Haven't opened this yet
- Kaplan Verbal Workbook ----- Haven't opened this yet
- I also like to watch the GMAT Ninja series for all topics
Some additional Info:
- The coming 2 weeks I can study full time, the 4 weeks after that I will only be able to study 4 days per week
OG Mock 1: 610 (Q47 V28) - This is kind of my 'base score'
OG Mock 2: 620 (Q44 V32) - Did this today, felt quite tired and did not have a lot of concentration, hence the lower Quant score.
The other 4 Mocks will be made every Saturday for the coming 4 weeks
My target score is 690+, since I want to apply to the CEMS MIM at some good uni's in Europe.
Thanks for the help!

If you have the Official-Guide 2022, activating/using the online Wiley version could be helpful. You can create timed practice sets (i.e. 10 SC and 10 CR with randomized difficulty) and it automatically records questions you've attempted as well.
Consider saving one or two mocks in case you retake for any reason.

Hi Thimo2001,
Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, but your current timeframe is based around just 2 months of overall study - so there will likely be a limit to how much you can improve in that time. Based on your first 2 CAT Scores, a 690 might be achievable in that timeframe, but you already appear to be studying too much (and we do NOT want you to inadvertently 'burn out' before your Official Exam).
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) Are you planning to take the At-home GMAT or are you planning to take your GMAT at a Test Facility?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to and what application deadlines are you facing?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
