Study Plan- Need Advise Urgently

Thanks Piya for the advise . By: For first 15 days, brush up all ur basics, do u mean I should be doing all basics or quant basics?

I have just begun studying but I definitely recommend doing a foundations book- I know MGMAT has one for math. I am not sure where you can get a verbal one. What materials do you have?

36 and 19 are not your average scores and might indicate a fundamental weakness in your preparation and knowledge. But it's not impossible to bring your score up.

PS :I got 36 and 19 during my first GMAT attempt. Improving from 36Q-> 49Q and 19V->40V will involve a combination of knowing and applying concepts and using correct strategies for different sections and sub-sections. I need GC members help here to devise a strategy for the improvement.

1. Get the MGMAT or Veritas Prep Math Fundamentals book. I've heard good things about both the books and I am sure it'll help bring you up-to-date on the basic concepts.

PS: I got MGMAT books .

2. Then, if you can, enroll in a Knewton class or buy either the MGMAT Bundle or the Veritas books. These are comprehensive resources that will definitely aid you in your preparation. Choose between them - they're both good.


3. Get the Powerscore CR Bible. Definitely get MGMAT SC.

PS: I got both the books.

From here on, devise a strategy that would basically involve a familiarization phase and a practice phase. First gain proper understanding of concepts.

PS: Can you please advise which would be correct approach :

Approach 1: Learn concepts of all the subsections SC, CR, RC , PS, DS and just do MGMAT exercises. After completing this, do questions from different question banks like OG, OG Verbal and Quant and GmatClub topic wise questions.

Or

Approach 2:Learn one concept do all the questions for example in case of Number properties complete first topic; Prime numbers and divisibility and do all the questions for GMAT Club forum. In this way complete quant and then follow same approach for verbal.

Or

Approach 3: Complete each MGMAT book and after completion of each book do questions from forum. That means in case of quant complete all 5 books and do the topic wise questions from forum. After completing quant section move to verbal and follow same approach

Approach 4: Start Quant and Verbal lets say SC in parallel and do questions from forum.

Please advise in case you thing any other approach is better.

Then finally take practice exams and see where you stand. If you're consistently scoring >700 in your practice tests (esp. GMAT Prep), then you're in good shape. If not, go back and re-do your problem areas.

PS: Sure will do that and will share my experience

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Thanks shaselai for your advise.

Now a days I am concentrating on my strategies, considering I will be devoting 11.5 hrs to office(including traveling), do you recommend any specific study plan or study plan

is ok ?

Thanks in advance.

The reason I am asking this question is , I am planning to apply in R2

@Whip, you have been very helpful so far.

ok. since you need an overhaul and you have taken the gmat already you could skip some formalities on the novice page but I would suggest following it for maximum effect. Also, since you are applying in R2 i guess you have maybe 2+ months squeezing in 3 months max so you could tweak the plan around to fit your needs. good luck!
