Hi all,
I have the set of 8 MGMAT books - what's the best way to go through them, from your experience.
Currently I'm spending way too much time on each book and it is an inefficient way of studying.
I'm thinking this will be my new strategy:
1. Read each chapter one by one, do the exercises.
2. Take notes on each chapter.
3. Go through and re-read again, re-summarize the notes and add any new points that I come across
that I didn't notice before.
4. Do the exercises again.
5. Do the Problem Sets I and II in each book.
6. If I have time, do the question banks from each book.
Thanks

Have you taken a diagnostic test to assess your current weaknesses?
Going slow through the books is not necessarily a bad thing.

Hi,
Yeh i'm having the same problem. I started the 5 maths books a few weeks ago and its really slow going. I haven't much experience but like mohater said, going slow may be quite a good thing. If you're going slowly through the material, understanding everything you read and doing all of the questions, it is better than skimming through the books and having a patchy understanding of the topics. Go through it slowly once and the next time you go through it, even if its just for making detailed notes, all of the topics should 'click' in a fraction of the time.
If you're feeling it may be a mental block doing so much maths and seemingly going very slow, maybe try doing a couple of chapters and then a chapter or two of sentence correction. That way you can be making progress in both areas. It's not usually recommended, but each to their own.

My exam date is November 8 and I'm on holidays for 2 weeks in september... so am worried a bit I won't finish all the books in time - thus am doing 4 hours daily. I'm also only doing every other question now at the end of each chapter to speed things up and somewhat solidify each chapter's concepts, then I'll go back, skim over each chapter again and re-do the questions.
