from the text, I infer that LORs is short for letters of recommendation, I could be wrong.

Gmatnub is correct. AM23Finance CFA level III, that is great. I am looking into prepping for level I, but I am still researching if a CFA would be beneficial or not. I am actually new to the whole process as well. I just graduated, but I have been planning on going to business school, and trying to get into finance with my engineering background, since my 3rd year in college.

I just purchased my gmat prep material, but I have previously studied for the lsat, and I put in roughly 4 hr on weekdays and more on weekends as a student. Once I start working, I would probably put in 2 to 3 hrs on weekdays, and more on the weekends.

I plan on giving myself 3 months, where I will set up a rigid study schedule, and study intensely for it. Then, I will take a preptest, and hopefully I will be scoring in my preferred range, and then I will take the real exam.

Some posters have told me to follow a rigid study schedule, and prep with a deadline so you do not prolong the study period and burn yourself out.

I prepped for the LSAT for over a year, and I got burnt out. I do not plan on making the same mistake twice. Hopefully the GMAT won't be as bad.
