GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

Hi Everyone,
I am one and a half months into my preparation and I have one very important issue which I hope one of you guys will help me resolve. I have charted out my goals and the path that I need to follow to get there (thanks to reading a ton of posts here) but I am now falling behind on my schedule even after putting 3-4 hours of diligent studying on weekdays and 6-8 hours on weekends.
Every blog/post that I have read says that "I(the author) completed Manhattan SC in a week ", but after one week all I was able to complete was just half of Manhattan SC. Here is what I do:
1. Go through each and everything that given in the book, making notes as I proceed.
2. Solve each and every problem, understand the solutions.
On an average I am able to complete 20 pages of any given book each day and 40 on weekends. I have still to start up on "RC", "CR", "Word Problems" and "Algebra" (I use resources from Manhattan)
According to my schedule I am to complete strengthening up my "Knowledge Base" by September 12 2014 post which I am to concentrate only on OG 13 and taking tests.
Please help me understand where I am going wrong. I have scheduled my GMAT on October 12 2014 and I would like to spend that last one month taking as many tests and completing OG 13 as many times as possible.
Also, let me know if there are any alternative methodology that you guys would like me to follow. One of the changes that I have decided to incorporate is taking up a couple of tests every weekend.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Firstly please understand that each and every individual is different. So do not worry on how long other people are taking to complete the material.
The focus should be to read and understand and for every individual that varies.
Secondly in case you are feel that by September you will not be able to complete your basics try to put in more hours but do not compromise on understanding the material because that is the most important part.
Though I would suggest you start taking tests once you have completed the basics of all the topics otherwise you scores will not be a true reflection of your preparation.
Good Luck!!

@Taruna,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I really appreciate it. I am trying to do my best to make sure that I donot compromise on the "Strengthening Part". Is it possible, by any chance, that you can share your schedule with me? May be I can learn something from that.
Thanks.
