Wow from a 350 to 710, that is freakin awesome, how about a debrief?
Honestly, the 350 was definately an anomoly and was probably not truly my base. Having said that I certainly did what one should not do when preparing for the GMAT. When I initially started the 1st time around I only used the
OG and PR Cracking ghe Gmat. I actually used the "review" section in the
OG for my learning material. The PR book is not sufficient if one wants to do well. It leaves out many details and perhaps assumes one already knows. I also never took a practice test and assumed I would get it on test day. Well on test I panicked and did not even finish either section. The second time around I used all of the ManGmat books and studied for a little more than two months. I studied all the time and did not have a social life at all. My schedule was something like this:
Late July until 10/16.
Sun and Sat 9am to 1pm. Then about 2pm to 5ish. No evenings.
M-TH 8pm to 11 pm. I did not study on Fridays
I also studied during my lunches at work. Again, the ManGmat books were great and really spelled everything out.
