I studied for a little over 4 weeks total (nights and weekends, while working full-time) and scored a 770. So yeah, it's possible. It depends how solid your concepts are in the first place. In my case it was mostly refresher. If you're learning them from scratch you may want to leave more time.
Wow ... thats real awesome !
So , when u say refresher ... do you mean u had taken the GMAT recently or that you haven't spent too much time out of school and hence the concepts weren't too rusty
Now , I get the part of slogging for the next few weeks (and living in the library ... nay , my-nose-buried-in-my-books is more like it
)but it will help immensely if you can provide some details on how you went about u'r prep .
For eg. how many hrs /day /weekend-day and more imp. what books / papers did you go thru' .
Here's my plan based on some input :
1) Kaplan 2005 - theory and questions only - no tests yet
2) Do Diag. test
3) Kaplan 800 - all q's
4) CAT Tests (2-4)
<<5)
Kaplan Verbal Workbook --- iffy >>
6) 1st PP test
7)
OG
<<8) AWA ------ iffy>>
<<9) LSAT Verbal Coverage , SC from
MGMAT , Challenges from here --- iffy>>
10) CAT Tests (2-4)
11) 2nd PP
12) ETS Paper Tests
The iffy part is if I have the time , and if I need to focus on that particular section
While this list seems kinda complete and others do something similar , what I'd like to know is with severe time restrictions , is this study list (needed)/sufficient ?
It seems to me that you are in a good position to provide some input given your very relevant experience
Any feedback will be much appreciated .
Thanks.
