Introduction
Well, I need to begin this post by stating that these will be the most hardcore, sleep-deprived, exhausting six weeks of your life. With that caveat, lets jump into the basics.
I am the author of the eBook "
The Six-Week GMAT Study Guide.” I wrote this book after I developed a rigorous GMAT study plan for myself, followed the strict time constraints and study requirements, and achieved a 710 score on the GMAT in August 2015. I am writing this post because the GMATClub was instrumental in my success (a fact mentioned in the book), and I wanted to quickly summarize the plan for everyone taking the GMAT – it is the least I can do. Even if you plan on studying for 3 months, the study strategies that I present in this post will enhance your effectiveness.
Before I even began studying for the GMAT, I spent a week simply researching my study approach. I read every blog, website, eBook, and forum post on the topic of “GMAT study plans.” This study strategy is based on countless hours of research, comparison, and trail-and-error. Please, take what I am presenting and either follow it exactly or incorporate it into your studies. What I am going to delineate is the combination of the hundreds of user posts, expert opinions, published suggestions, and personal experience.
This post will go into some of your biggest questions regarding the GMAT and then will meander into some smaller tips that, I believe, are crucial to your success. While this post will cover every topic of the
The Six-Week GMAT Study Guide, it will not go in-depth or provide the day-by-day, hour-by-hour study plan as the book does.
GMAT Ticket
I recommended that you schedule and pay for your GMAT exam before you begin to study because you need a carrot at the end of your stick. If you do not schedule your GMAT exam and begin to study, you will be tempted to put off taking the GMAT because you do not feel prepared. A quick side note, you will never feel 100% prepared. I purchased my ticket for exactly 6 weeks from the date I was to begin studying. I purchased my ticket for the 10am test. I highly recommend the 10am test because it allows you time in the morning to warm up your brain, eat, and get your body working properly.
Additionally, if you do not schedule your exam, you will be less likely to complete a strict study guide that requires intense time commitments. If you schedule your exam before you begin to study, you will be highly motivated to complete this study guide correctly and to take your exam on time because of the hefty rescheduling fee.
Books
Lets move on to books. I would recommend you purchase seven books for roughly $150. You will use each of these books through your six-week study plan. You will begin with the simplistic Princeton Review, progress through the more advanced Kaplan Review, honed our skills with the GMAT Verbal and Quantitative reviews, solidify our approach with the Kaplan 800, and finish strong with the Official GMAT Review. As you read the descriptions below, you will understand why I recommended each of these books.
The Six-Week GMAT Study Guide – This is the book that I wrote; however, I am recommending this book for more reasons than simply personal bias. This ebook includes a six-week, day-by-day schedule for a 700+ GMAT score. Having a study plan that is proven and predetermined for you will allow you to check on your progress, focus your studies, and give 100% of your attention to the GMAT. This study guide does not contain any testing strategies or practice questions - it is a 36-page, day-by-day breakdown of what every day before the GMAT should look like and how every minute that you are studying should be spent. This book is a must-have for the serious GMAT student. There is no reason to spend hundreds of hours formatting a study plan that may not work when there is a proven day-by-day study guide available.
The cost of this book is roughly $28. You can purchase the 2016 version of this book at the following link. As the years progress, please continue to purchase the most recent version of this book available.

This book is a great introduction book and allows you to wrap your ahead around what is going to be required of you for excellence. However, this book can be read lightly– the content is not robust enough for a 700+ score. This is a great introduction book for you to begin to wade into GMAT studying and provides a good number of GMAT practice questions. Additionally, this book comes with six practice tests. While the tests are widely considered to be easier than the actual GMAT, they are great for getting into the rhythm of test taking. I believe they are extremely useful in the studying process.

Link to Official Guide for GMAT ReviewStudy Materials
Write down everything on flash cards. If you see something in the book that you think you may need to know on test day – write it down. These are your “things I must know on test day” flashcards. You will review your notecards at the beginning of each session. By the end of studying, I had 300 flashcards in my stack; many of my cards had a paragraph or more of writing. View your flashcards as your primary note-taking tool – you will prefer these to a notebook because they enable to you review and memorize the concepts with ease.
Begin an error log. As you take practice problems, you are guaranteed to miss some. In your
error log, you will keep a record of the problem that you missed, why you missed it, and how to do the problem correctly. You will review your
error log at the beginning of each study session. I cannot stress the importance of utilizing an
error log; this is your most important study tactic. If you miss a question in practice, you should not miss a similar question on the test – your
error log will ensure this.
Begin a separate set of “mistakes I will not make twice” flashcards. There will be different mistakes that you continuously make – these are the mistakes that you put on the “mistakes I won’t make twice” flashcards. While the
error log tends to be a longer, more drawn out list of explanations, the “mistakes I won’t make twice” flashcards will be simple phrases that you put down to help you identify when you might be making a mistake during the test. The value of these cards is immense – you will countless mistakes during your test preparation; you owe it to yourself to not make the same mistakes on test day. Learn from them.
Begin an idiom log and write down every idiom you encounter from now until the day you take your actual GMAT test. Idioms are easy points on the Verbal section and you will need all the points you can grab. Idioms are the only content on the GMAT that you can memorize and expect to see on the exam – take advantage! When I was studying, I had my idiom log and
error log in the same notebook; my idiom log start from the back of the notebook and my
error log started from the front, eventually meeting in the middle. You will review your idiom log at the beginning of each session.

Study Strategy Overview
Finally, here is an overview of my six-week GMAT study guide. It is based on the conceptual timeline of four key tenants.
1. Learn
2. Internalize
3. Apply
4. Practice, Practice, And PracticeEverything that I recommend you do in this study guide is based around one of the previously stated tenants. These are proven concepts in test preparation – I have used them to score in the 10% on the SAT, GMAT, and LSAT.
You will spend the first three weeks mastering the GMAT, GMAT testing concepts, and question approach strategies. You will spend the last three weeks practicing, and practicing, and practicing. In essence, there will be two phases to your efforts. The first three weeks will be the “study” weeks where you learn the test structure, testing strategies, and question approaches. The latter three weeks will be the “test preparation” weeks where you take your recently acquired knowledge and apply it to practice questions under realistic GMAT conditions. The goal is that you will sit down on test day and feel as if you are simply sitting down for another studying session.
If you need more information on an effective study strategy, consider purchasing
The Six-Week GMAT Study Guide for only $5.
Week One Overview:
Starting this week, you live, eat, and breathe the GMAT. Your primary goal for this week is to understand the GMAT test, learn your strengths/weaknesses, and acclimate to intense studying. You secondary goal, yet equally as important, is to finish the Princeton Review book. The book you are working from is the Princeton Review.
Spend most of this week fighting through the Princeton Review. Your goal is to finish the book, not memorize every detail. The book itself is not that intuitive, you are primarily reading this book to get a comprehensive understanding of the exam and it’s questions. Take many notes and get a grasp of the problems.
Near the end of the week, take your first practice test from the Princeton Review book. You have spent the majority of this week learning about the exam and it is now time to put your knowledge in action. Try and take this practice exam around the same time that you will be taking the actual GMAT exam. The exam takes roughly four hours, so plan accordingly. Treat this exam like the real thing! Do not take extra breaks, skip problems, or eat. Be hard on yourself because the real GMAT has no mercy. Also, just for your own edification, I scored a 580 on my first practice test. Do not stress if your score does not match up with your expectations - it is your first time taking the GMAT under realistic circumstances. Additionally, it is generally considered that the Princeton Review’s practice tests are among the easiest and do not accurately reflect the difficulty of the real GMAT. You are taking this test primarily to feel the pressure of the real GMAT circumstances.
Week Two Overview:
Your goal for this week is to advance your GMAT knowledge by learning advanced test-taking strategies from the Kaplan Review. By the end of this week you will be well on your way to GMAT excellence. Additionally, you will take your second practice test this week. The book you are working from is the Kaplan Review.
Begin each study session with 30 minutes of review – study your flashcards, review your
error log, and review your idiom log. Following these 30 minutes, you will spend 4 hours studying your weakest section or strongest section, either Q or V. Alternate depending on your progress. Be sure to apply the strategies you are learning to the practice problems woven throughout the book. Please remember to continue filling out your study cards,
error log, and idiom log – these study materials separate the 650s from the 700s.
Near the end of the week, take your second practice test out of the Princeton Review book. This way, you will be able to measure your progress accurately when comparing this week to last week. As you know, there are disparities between practice tests provided by different test preparation companies (Ex. Princeton Review vs. Kaplan Review). You will move on to the Kaplan’s more difficult practice tests next week.
Again, take this test around the same time you will be taking your actual GMAT in a few weeks. Try to mimic the real-life GMAT scenario as closely as possible – ambient noise, no music, limited breaks, no food, etc. After you finish, go and enjoy your weekend. You earned it. For your own comparison, I scored a 620 on this test.
Be sure to spend time reviewing your test. Look through the questions you got right as well as the ones you missed. Why did you get a specific question right but then missed the same type of question later? Those are discrepancies that you need to address. Be sure to add missed questions to your
error log, which should be getting pretty lengthy at this point, and idioms to your idiom log.
Week Three Overview:
Your goal for this week is to finish the Kaplan Review. You should be soaking up every little detail that this book gives you – it is so good! Continue to study with a high level of focus and dedication; you cannot make up a missed study session. The book you are working from is the Kaplan Review.
Additionally, you are going to step up the number of practice tests from one-per-week to two-per-week. I believe that, if you can successfully complete two GMAT tests in one week, you will build up stamina to crush the actual test. A major part of the GMAT battle is simply being able to stay focused for the entire 4.5-hour test – doubling up on practice tests will help you reach the level of consistent focus that you need to have. You will take your Kaplan practice tests this week. In the past years, these tests have been decidedly more difficult that the Princeton Review practice tests.
Plan your week around your practice tests. On the days when you are not taking a practice test you should be finishing up the Kaplan Review. Begin your study sessions with 30 minutes of review – study your flashcards, review your
error log, and review your idiom log. After the first 30 minutes of review, spend 1.5 hours studying your strongest section, either Q or V. Immediately following, spend an additional 2.5 hours studying your weakest section. Remember to continue filling out your study cards,
error log, and idiom log.
Be sure to review your practice tests after you take them. You owe it to yourself to learn from your mistakes. You are putting in countless hours of studying; you need to be sure to capitalize! I scored a 610 and 640 on these two tests.
This was one of the hardest weeks for me. Having to do two practice tests and studying on the days between? Brutal! But, this week was absolutely critical to building my stamina. I found that half of the battle is being able to stay laser-focused for 4.5 hours. When you take two practice tests in a week, you are proving to yourself that you can handle 9 hours of intense focus with a short span of recovery time. As I was taking the actual GMAT, I would often reflect on the fact that I crushed two GMAT exams in a week during my prep – taking one more was well within my capabilities. Way to go! Keep on pushing. It will all be worth it in hindsight.

Week Four Overview:
Congratulations, you are halfway to the main event. Over the past three weeks, you gained a rock-solid foundation on the test structure, testing strategies, and question approaches. Now it is time to practice, practice, and practice. Your goal for this week is to get your timing down. This week, you will be doing countless practice problems under time limits so that you feel the pressure and learn how to adapt your knowledge to time constraints. This is the week that it all begins to come together. This week, your confidence in your abilities will flourish as you honed your recently earned skills through practice. The book you are working from is the GMAT Verbal/Quantitative Reviews.
For the first half of the week, spend 3 hours per day in the GMAT Verbal/Quantitative books. At this point, your knowledge and skills in each section will be fairly even. You will be spending 1.5 hours per day in each book.
At this point, it is critical that you begin to time yourself as you go through practice problems. Depending on what your skill level is, you should group questions into sets and give yourself 1.5-2.5 minutes per problem. I would recommend grouping the problems into sets of 20 and giving yourself a 30 minute time limit to complete all of the questions. Set a timer on your phone and buckle down to crush some problems. Of course, you are always aiming for a high level of accuracy. So, give yourself a reasonable time limit and work your way up to an intense 1.5 minutes-per-question time limit.
Mid-week, you need to take just the Verbal and Quantitative sections of a practice Princeton Review GMAT exam. Your goal is to complete all of the problems in each section with a high level of accuracy. Judging from your results on these sections, you will know if you need to place yourself under more rigorous time constraints or not. Just to clarify, you will not take the AWA or AR sections – only take the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the practice test.
Near the end of the week, take your next Kaplan practice test. Sit down and take the test in a replicated GMAT environment and under similar restrictions. On this test, I scored a 580 – it was completely demoralizing. I questioned if I was making any progress at all. I wanted to give up. But I am so glad that I did not throw in the towel! If this test does not go well, do not fret – that just means you need to redouble your efforts and focus. This was my response to this mid-point failure and it paid off with huge dividends.
Be sure to review your performance. Take note of your mistakes, where your timing was off, or where you did not perform as you believe you should have. Figure out the root of the problem; was it stress? Lack of focus? Lack of stamina? Address the issue that is marginalizing your test performance. Be sure you are filling out your
error log and your “mistakes I won’t make twice” flashcards.
Finally, take a day off this week. Seriously, I mean it. Go outside. Enjoy a movie with friends. Do not even think about the GMAT today – you need a well-deserved break. If you do anything, simply review your
error log and “mistakes I won’t make twice” flashcards. As I have stated throughout this book, your mindset is everything. Use this day to refocus your mindset, to envision your future in business school, and to reinvigorate your dedication to destroying the GMAT.
Week Five Overview:
This week, you will focus on developing your approaches to the highest difficulty questions. By this point, you are well prepared to score a 680+. You have mastered test content, question approaches, and timing. This week, you are going to advance into the 700+ range. You will spend the week attacking the hardest questions that you will face on the GMAT. The goal for this week is for you to answer extremely difficult questions with a high level of accuracy. This week, your focus is not timing – your focus is learning how to approach difficult problems correctly and how to complete them accurately. The book you are working from is the GMAT 800.
This week is akin to marathon runners training in high altitudes. Marathon runners want to train under the most strenuous conditions so that, when they compete in races, they are over-prepared for the common city or rural marathon environments. Marathon runners want to push themselves to the limit in the most difficult of circumstances; this week, you will be pushing your GMAT abilities to the limit with the most difficult problems you will face.
As you have seen by now, the GMAT continually increases the difficulty of your test as you perform well. When you answer a difficult question, the test makers throw an even more complex inquiry at you. This is why you are spending an entire week developing your approach to difficult GMAT questions. Your goal is to enhance your abilities so that you have a high probability of getting even the most difficult GMAT questions correct. Increasing your probability of getting difficult GMAT questions correct will inevitably push your GMAT score to a higher echelon.
In the beginning of the week, begin your study sessions by spending 30 minutes reviewing your study materials. After your review period, spend 3 hours working through the GMAT 800 book. The questions in this book are extremely difficult. When I was working through this book, the questions took dramatically longer than questions in any other book. Do not be discouraged if you are not blazing through the questions – the purpose of this week is for you to apply your skill set to the toughest questions you could possibly encounter.
Near the end of the week, take a Kaplan Review practice test. As always, spend 30 minutes reviewing your
error log and doing practice problems before you take this exam. Additionally, be intentional in your effort to mimic every detail of the GMAT exam. This test will likely be your best score and an accurate predictor of your eventual GMAT score. Hopefully, you will feel extremely confident in your answers due to your experience with complex problems this week. I scored a 680 on this exam and my confidence soared – I had bounced back from the dreadful 580 the week before!
Additionally, spend a study session simply reviewing your approach to all of the different problem types. You will want to flip through your various books and review every type of problem there is. As you review each problem type, mentally evaluate your ability to quickly recognize this type of problem, formulate an accurate approach, and efficiently arrive at the correct answer. As you come to specific problem types that you do not have confidence in, take as much time as necessary to bolster your understanding, approach, and confidence in said problem type.
If you score a 650+ on your practice test this week, be very excited. You should be able to crush the actual GMAT. You are scoring incredibly high even in the midst of exhaustion. Imagine how you will score when you are rested and have had a few days off?
Week Six Overview:
Before you start this week, let me assure you – you have not done enough. The GMAT is a comparative test and this is the last week you have to comparatively set yourself apart by pushing yourself harder than anyone else. You may feel like you are ready – you are not. You may feel like you can take the week off – you cannot. Push through. The book you will be working out of is the Official GMAT Review.
This week you are only focusing on timing and practice tests. Timing will make or break you; you can have the best approach in the world but mess up your timing on one question and you will throw off your entire GMAT performance. This week will give you measures that help ensure that this does not happen to you come test day. Your goal this week is to perfect your timing and boost your confidence for the impending GMAT.
Take one of your two official GMAT practice tests early in the week and take one later in the week.. This test will be an accurate indicator of your performance on test day. I scored a 670 on the first exam and 690 on the second exam. These were the exams that made me feel confident in my ability to score a 700+. Please note that I never scored a 700+ throughout my test prep – my 2 consecutive high scores simply gave me confidence that I could/would rise to the occasion on test day and break the barrier.
Spend the rest of your study time completing practice problems. Spend 2 hours doing sets of practice problems from the Verbal section and 2 hours completing sets of practice problems from the Quantitative section. I recommend that you split the questions into sets of 10 and give yourself 14-15 minutes to complete a single set. Focus on perfecting your timing during these sessions. Also, focus on maintaining your testing stamina. Give yourself minimal breaks, just as the real GMAT exam will do.

Practice Tests
Finally, let me expand on my use of practice tests. I used the practice tests from the books that I recommended above for the majority of my studying. The Princeton Review tests are generally considered to be the easiest GMAT practice tests and the Kaplan Review tests are generally considered to be some of the more difficult GMAT practice tests. However, in my last week of studying, I took both of the free GMAT provided practice tests. The logic behind this decision was that I wanted to take the most realistic tests immediately before the actual GMAT so I was as acclimated to the experience as possible.
You have to download software to access the official GMAT tests:
Link to Official GMAT SoftwareI am a firm believer that anyone can score a 700+ on the GMAT. I am by no means guaranteeing you a 700+; that is totally on you and your work ethic. However, I am an average student who simply worked extremely hard; if I can accomplish something that I believed to be impossible, I firmly believe that you can as well.
Your Study Environment
Ok, now lets talk about your study environment. I heavily suggest that you conduct your daily study sessions in a coffee shop and that you do not listen to music while you study. The goal behind these recommendations is that you need to over prepare yourself for what you will experience on test day. In the testing center, you will be unable to plug in your headphones and listen to Beethoven. Studying in a coffee shop with no music will over prepare you for the annoyance of ambient noise. I am a firm believer that you will test better if you study in an environment that mimics the actual testing center. Learning to answer questions under time restraints while the conversations of strangers saturate your airspace is a powerful tool come test day.
Your Outside Life
I did have a life outside of studying, but that life was highly orchestrated. I would be sure to workout at least 30 minutes per day. I believe that this was critical to my success and would encourage you to adhere to a similar commitment. I cut out TV, drinking, and eating unhealthily. I would also encourage you to mimic this. When I was not studying or working, I would relax with friends and family, never bringing up my studies. Finally, I would seek encouragement when I needed it; the support of others was absolutely critical during this process. There were times when I literally threw my books down and quit – it was only by the support of others that I would scrounge up my papers, sit myself at my desk once again, and hammer out another four hour study session.
Focusing Your Studies
A major question that I had while I was preparing to study was, should I focus on the AR and AWA sections or just the Verbal and Quantitative? To answer this question, I found it effective to only focus on the key sections of the test - Verbal and Quantitative. These are the two sections whose scores make up your overall score, a fact that will be delineated in your study books. I did not study the AWA or AR sections (these will be further explained in your study books) at all – I only practiced them during the practice tests. While schools don’t look as seriously at these scores, it is still important that you show competence in these sections. If you need to study these sections more than I did, simply toss them into your daily practice problems – most of your prep books have sets of problems for these sections.
Where to focus your studies is a complex topic – if you need more information, consider purchasing
The Six-Week GMAT Study Guide for only $5.
Your Mindset
You have to take what you are doing very, very seriously and consistently a study schedule. The moment you start studying you have to have the mindset that you are going to war with the test makers – they are your mortal enemies from day one. You have to be committed. You have to be determined. You have to be zealous. There are thousands of other students out there right now trying to score higher than you – you have to beat them with preparation.
Test Day
You have been training for this moment for six consecutive weeks. This is your time. It is all a mental battle now. Remind yourself that you are prepared and you are capable. As you read through the following suggestions, please adapt them for sake of your commute to the testing center. You want to leave your residence so that you arrive at your testing center 1 hour early.
1. Wake up early, around 6am. Start your morning by going for a 30-minute walk, jog, or run.
2. Get a large breakfast with a lot of protein.
3. To score well on the GMAT, you need to dress well.
4. By now it should be approximately 8am. Spend at least 15 minutes in meditation before you leave. Speak positive things about yourself; remind yourself that you are more than prepared to score a 700+ on this test.
5. Following your moment of meditation, attack a set of 5 practice problems out of the Official GMAT Review in both Quantitative and Verbal. Treat these problems as if they are the actual GMAT test and crush them! Do not pick problems out of the GMAT 800 book; choose some problems from the Official GMAT Review.
You need to bring the following items to the testing center:
1. Two Forms of Identification
2. Printout of Your GMAT Test Registration
3. List of 5 Schools to Send GMAT Score* (this is important, the scores cost $35 per school to send later on)
4. Water Bottle*
1. Snack*
2. “Mistakes I Won’t Make Twice” Flashcards*
*You will not be able to bring these items into the testing room. Many testing centers provide you with a locker to store your items. You will be able to eat and drink during your short breaks, but you cannot look at your cards.
Please PM me for any personalize questions or suggestions!
