Effective method of using Manhattan Prep [#permalink] New post   20 Feb 2018, 15:09
Been using Manhattan Prep for a month now, thought it touches nearly every aspect, it is a lot of information so I️ wanted to ask from anyone who knows the most efficient way to use it.

Hi bosho1,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) What has your study routine been? How many hours have you studied each week?
2) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
3) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

1) I️ aim for 15 hours at least per week so around 3 hours per day. My current routine is reading each guide and then answering the OG problems attached to every chapter and that hardly goes well. Right now I’m reading the Word Problem guide.
2) I️ have taken one CAT test once I️ got the Manhattan Prep and it was pretty low 37 Q and 30 V, so clearly I️ have a lot of work ahead of me.

3) I️ plan to take the GMAT hopefully towards the end of spring (April) or early in the summer.

4) I️ plan to apply to business schools late summer or early fall in time for Spring 2018.

5) I️ plan to apply to the schools in Texas Area. Texas Christian university, Southern Methodist University or UT Dallas and probably take a shot for UT Austin in a Masters in Accounting.

Hi bosho1,

If it's been at least 2 weeks since you took that initial practice CAT, then you should plan to take a new, FULL-LENGTH CAT (with the Essay and IR sections) sometime soon - perhaps this weekend. It might be that you've actually improved over this last month of study - and if there is a marked improvement, then you might want to continue studying as you have been studying.

1) What is your goal score?
2) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?

Yes, taking another practice exam is in the works.
1) My goal score is 750 but I just hope it’s not wishful thinking.
2) Going forward I’m hoping I can consistently do upwards of 15 hours a week.

I use MGMAT.I study each chap, complete the questions and go to OG and finish those questions. I try to look for questions in that area in the forum as well.
