GMAT club post:
Hi GmatClub Members,
It's a pleasure to become part of this awesome community. I embarked on my GMAT studying journey yesterday with a full length diagnostic and began my studying today. I wanted to get some feedback on my strategy and plan. I have taken the MCAT, I know the importance of coming up with a standardized test schedule and sticking to it no matter how painful! I plan on taking the GMAT in mid July, leaving me 3 months of preparation. I plan on starting with quant review, verbal, and lastly IR.
Quant Strategy (My plan is to break up the quant section by the Manhattan all the quant units)
- Read the Manhattan "All the Quant" by unit while doing all the end of section problems. Hoping to read through each unit within 3-4 days.
- At the end of each "unit," complete the corresponding problems in GMAT OG and GMAT OG quant review.
- After completing the GMAT OG problems while also keeping a detailed error log, utilize GMAT club problems specifically for that unit, continue keeping error log up to date.
- Plan on leaving 1 day of the week for Error log review, 1 day of the week for relaxation.
- Repeat this for each manhattan unit (FDPR, Algebra, Word Problems, Num Properties, and Geometry)
Following completing all of the units like the above I would begin to look at full length exams.
Some of the questions I have regarding fine tuning this strategy are below:
- How long do you guys think I should give myself for each unit to complete all the above tasks, 1 week? 2 weeks? Of course time also depends on my baseline strength in that topic but in general. With two weeks I was thinking one week for reading+OG material and 1 week of GMATclub questions. Let me know if this is too much time. I know having enough time for verbal is also important.
- How many GMAT club problems should I be aiming to do? I don't want to rush through the OG but I also want to give myself time to attack a lot of GMATclub questions. I was thinking 50 GMAT club questions per day on each respective topic once I am done with the OG material.
Regarding verbal I plan to follow a similar strategy schedule.
Lastly, after spending some time reviewing GMATclub and it's resources I've found multiple ways to access GMATclub questions, which method of accessing the questions/question banks do you all feel is most efficient and straight forward?
Thanks for taking a look at my schedule. Please provide any and all feedback in regards to the current timing I have (ex 2 weeks v 1 week for a unit), materials, and any things you guys would change. Thank you very much and hope you are your loved ones are staying healthy.

Hello, SeriousSLOBO, and welcome to the community. Since you already have the Manhattan Prep guides, or at least the one for Quant, you might find this GMAT Club Study Plan useful. You could adapt the plan to fit your own needs. If it is structure you want, then that plan has days, study times, and topics all mapped out. A couple things you said from your post resonated with me:
* Spend adequate time reviewing. Too often, those beginning their prep make the mistake of attacking a bunch of problems without a proper analysis of mistakes. This can lead to exhausting valuable study questions and materials without any real progress being made in terms of understanding the content.
* Keep a detailed error log, one that is personal and tracks why you really think you missed each question. Sure, some questions, particularly in Quant, might be more related to topic, but others, especially in Verbal, might have less to do with overall content and much more to do with not reading carefully or too hastily choosing an answer choice.
* Let go of x-questions-per-day thinking. Sometimes you might get more out of 5 questions in a day than 50. Work your way up to longer sets. This process is kind of like a cross-country hike or a marathon. You might have zero days, those in which you make no progress into new territory, but you should be logging those miles week after week.
* GMAT Club Quant questions are top-notch, often more difficult than the upper-level material on the actual GMAT™. This is good for training purposes if you are aiming for a high score, but if you are in the 600 ballpark, you might find the material more challenging than what the Level meter indicates, and that could prove deflating.
* For Verbal, if you do run out of official questions--you should not on a three-month schedule, to be honest--you may find other high-quality questions from the GRE® for RC or even CR, as well as the LSAT for more difficult CR questions. (I would steer clear of the RC passages, though.)
* You can also consider online, module-based learning for additional coaching/practice. You can check the Marketplace for different courses or reviews.
However you decide to structure your preparation, I wish you good luck. Although I agree that a plan can be useful to follow, a little flexibility within that plan can pay dividends down the road.
