After taking a few months off to refocus on getting my goals together, I'm eager to start my studies over and be consistent with it this time. Would it be best to study one particular area for a couple of weeks and then switch to another area (quant or verbal) or would it be best to simultaneously study both areas. I've gotten so many different responses but would just like to know which method is more effective. My weakest area is quant by the way. If that helps any Smile

Hi aluniquesmith,
I saw your post in another Forum, and since other Users will likely benefit from this discussion, I've pasted by responses here:
I've never been a fan of an "all of one, then all of the other" approach to studying for the GMAT. It's important to build up knowledge and ability in both the Quant and Verbal sections concurrently; in that way, there's constant 'maintainance' of your skills. You don't necessarily have to study both Quant and Verbal every day, but intermixing the subjects on a regular basis would likely benefit you in the long run.
Test Takers who use a "book-heavy" study approach often have trouble scoring 700+, so you might need to invest in some additional resources. A September Test Date gives you plenty of time to study though.
Since you're just beginning again, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
