I only have 30 days to study for the Gmat.

Here's someone who retook an exam in about 30 days. They improved their V31 to a V40 and mention a variety of tips and resources in their post. If possible, try to also find shorter ways to solve questions. Sometimes, for example, you can leverage the answer choices while solving Quant questions. If you want to brush up your Sentence Correction idioms, there's a list on the gmatknight website you can quickly download.

Hello,
I only have 30 days to study for the Gmat. I will study around 25h in each week.
For the quant part: Would you go through the Manhattan strategy guide books or rather just solve problems and if you don't know how to solve a problem just look up the solution and try to understand it?
Since my time is limited reading through the books will probably take a lot of time.

Hi Schachfreizeit

Since you're targeting a quick turnaround (around 30 days or so), I suggest you follow a more personalized approach. Books offer same material to every user with zero personalizatiotn. They are completely do-it-yourself. Books are not interactive and they can't give you feedback as to where you're weak and what you should next to improve your scores. Moreover the recall from a book is not that great. There are much better methods of learning than learning from books. You can go through the recording below to understand how to strategize your GMAT prep in an effective way.


And I can definitely help you with the study strategy and study plan. GMAT is a test which focuses on application of concepts. So, you need to make sure that you learn not only the concepts but also their application. Please schedule a call with me using the link below so that I can guide you in a better way.
