HI GMAT Club,
This is my first post about my very rough start with taking the GMAT. First, I agree with everyone who thinks MGMAT books are the best...They indeed teach you the fundamentals of math and verbal. I took the prep course earlier this year in March-May and for the most part did my homework while working as a bookkeeper and eventually a tax preparer during tax season. The instructor was really smart and totally gave us insight on how to prepare. I studied about a month and a half after the class had ended about 8-10 hours per week. Nonetheless, I felt fatigued studying every day and even on the night before the exam, I felt stressed out. But I never lost confidence in the material. My score was 430 (Q32, V18). After I took the test, I joined this club to seek some advice. I'm now using an error log, re-reading all the MGMAT books, beginning with SC, RC, and CR, and utilizing this website for support. My new goal is to try to study for at least 100 hours, working on OG ed 12 problems and taking the practice exams, such as GMATPrep, GMAT Club free tests, Free Kaplan, and maybe Veritas. I'm open to study groups, watching videos, anything that pertains to boosting my verbal. I've already taken all my free CAT exams from MGMAT and will probably review those again.
My concern is that my verbal may not improve immediately, especially in RC. I heard that reading an article per day and perhaps a gmat fiction will help.
VinceCPA and fellow Accountants - I'm trying to get a MST/MSA and eventually a CPA. I have a long road ahead!
I would welcome any advice or feedback on how to have better studying habits. I have approximately three months to study and a little more before applying for Fall 2011 in late January of next year. Best of luck to everybody.

Hi Andreweng,
I know a bit about where you are coming from, having to get through tax season while also trying to study for other things. If you are anything like me, this likely through off your game on test day. Also, I really only felt like I understood the more advanced concepts after going through the MGMAT series a second time. It was the like the first pass helped with the basics and fundamentals. The second pass reinforced and I built on that, finally understanding some (though not all) of the advanced concepts. I still have problems with certain areas as I have NEVER, not in school nor in my professional career, dealt with some of these concepts. Still, you don't need to get it all, just enough, to get into the higher score zone. So that being said, if you haven't already, I would suggest a second pass through the books. Also, as you have the books, have you used their online version of the error log? This will tell you, based on the multiple CATs taken on their website, where your strong points and weak points are. You can use this to concentrate on the weaker areas and thus get a better return on your investment of time.
As for your career goals, I think that's great. It sounds like your path was similar to mine. I also started at the bottom as a bookkeeper, working into tax prep, then moving up from there, eventually taking the CPA. Now I also have a CFE and looking at further education/licenses. As for your MST/MSA, that's a great idea. I know that a LOT of CPAs go exactly this route as you can get the units necessary to sit while also earning an advanced degree. Send me a message if there is any advice I can give. Believe me, I've been there and I understand a bit of what you are going through!

Hopefully this is one of my last updates before I take the real deal. I have now finished my second pass through the MGMAT. The Verbal was pretty darned easy for me by the end. I had skipped the advanced Verbal on my first pass so the stuff was actually new to me, even though it was my second time reading the books. If I missed some advanced question, it was likely a dumb mistake on my part. It's funny for me to see the large disparity in my understanding between Quant and Verbal. In Quant, I think I've got a good shot at 71 - 75%, but Verbal - hopefully - will be a LOT higher.
At this point I'll take my remaining MGMAT practice tests, one more GMAT prep test, then the real test. In my area there are plenty of test windows at the test centers (I just checked and can literally sit TOMORROW if I want) so, assuming my practice tests go as hoped, I'll schedule the test for later this week.
