Hi guys, I’m starting my GMAT prep tomorrow. My goal is to take the exam around mid to late September, so I have roughly 10–12 weeks to prepare. Do you know any good structured study plans that you would recommend? I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
There’s probably three main approaches - they’re fairly similar about the timeline and I’ll have some cost I’m basically all involve learning and practicing but just using slightly different resource resources:

1. GMAT Ninja 12 week plan - based on YouTube videos and articles on GMAT Club. Still need to buy official guide and some other auxiliary books. This is the cheapest option but it requires for you to be proactive and staying on top of things.
2. ⁠ get Manhattan GMAT books plus official guide. Everything you need is in one set of books. You’re not distracted by notifications and as long as you have motivation to keep going and pick up the book, you will be able to improve
3. ⁠ getting a course - there’s a variety of courses anywhere from $150 for self paced Magoosh to $1500 MGMaT or TTP live classes. The most expensive option but also one where you are forced to stay on schedule and there is an instructor to help you, there’s a very set study plan and you don’t need to look for any questions or practice materials as everything is outlined in the single study plan. Because the course forces you to study regularly, on average just likely provides the highest ROI and the highest score improvement but all the three options above have been used realistically to improve scores.

One question will be is how much you need to improve and that may determine which route you take.

Another consideration is are you self motivated or do you need somebody to kick you from behind.

And finally how poor are you is going to determine some of the options as well 😂 I was very poor so I could not even afford the official guide which is pretty bad situation, but in general I would say there are so many resources on GMAT club that being poor should no longer be an excuse as long as you’re willing to invest a little bit of time and into learning and finding and practicing

Thanks for your reply! Regarding the material, I have already bought the Official Guide and I also purchased a one-month subscription to GMAT Club in order to practice with the question bank. I’m also willing to buy the additional official mock exams and the extra official practice questions from mba.com if needed.
Unfortunately, I don’t currently have the budget for a full prep course, but I actually enjoy studying independently, understanding concepts deeply, and improving through practice. I’m highly motivated because the GMAT is basically the key missing step for my master’s applications.
I gave myself around 10–12 weeks because my goal is to apply in the first rounds. I’m ready to follow an intense study schedule and put in the necessary work. Regarding the quantitative side (math, statistics, graphs/data analysis) and English, I think I have a decent foundation. My main challenges are improving my consistency/focus, understanding the GMAT logic, and getting enough high-quality practice.
I already checked out the GMAT Ninja 13-week study plan and it looks interesting. I was wondering if you recommend following it, or if there are other structured plans you think are better. Also, realistically speaking, what kind of improvement do people usually achieve by following that plan seriously?
The only extra material I don’t currently have is LSAT material for additional verbal practice, but I’m open to suggestions.
My goal is simply to maximize my score over these next three months, work hard, and see what level I can realistically reach.

Hello all
I am planning to take GMAT around sept end so I have around 3 months or so. I am planning to get magoosh online coaching to get started on concepts building. Since I am working full time, I think structured study plan through coaching might help. I have ordered OG + individual quant verbal and DI guides. Do I need these three diff guides or just OG is enough? Magoosh will provide multiple questions and I will also take mock test in 3rd month

HI @Prajitp
Before you join, I’d recommend checking with current students.
Magoosh has relatively limited course content compared to some other options.

This is my understanding of the courses based on conversations with current students. I’d recommend talking to current students yourself as well.

* TTP is quite expensive compared to other coaching options like e-GMAT.
* e-GMAT is good, but it’s very comprehensive and may not provide enough personalized guidance.

A quick query - Upon searching for this question in the forum, it’s showing in the that “this message has been removed?” Is this question not relevant?

Curious to know if you appeared in a free official GMAT mock and what your score was Prajitp?

The preparation methodology, as your would appreciate, should be accordingly customized.

Can anyone tell me once we have GMAT score , how long does it usually take to prepare your profile, Lor , essays and everything for applying in any college ? With or without consultant
A month should make things very comfortable srichauhan199.

With or without consultant, in my opinion, is a bit of a moot point in this regard. One should not use the services of a Consultant to outsource the work. A consultant would work alongside you, bringing expertise in order to make the output, and hence the outcome, better.

Hi @WA@hhm7042, basic quant concepts such as averages, ratios, and percentages get regularly tested in GMAT critical reasoning.

Our book EducationAisle Critical Reasoning Nirvana has an entire section that details the role and application of Quant concepts in critical reasoning.

If someone is interested, please DM your email id and we will be happy to send across the corresponding section from our book.

I did not take mock yet since I am very out of touch of quant specifically, I would get a very less score which might demotivate unnecessary. I want to give mock when I am a bit prepared atleast half. What are your views?

Would agree with you. Do you have a Quant background in school though Prajitp?

If not, it might actually be more effective to engage with a private high-school mathematics instructor (not a GMAT instructor), build the basics, and then join a formal GMAT course.
