Back in college, just about a year ago — many of my friends started preparing for the GMAT and GRE. Within just 3–4 months, they managed to score really well. It’s not that I never thought about doing the same; I absolutely did. But at that time, my family advised me to take a step back and first understand why I wanted to take those exams. They said, “Figure out your reason... don’t just follow the crowd.”
And honestly, they were right ,I lacked clarity then. So, I followed their suggestion, joined the corporate world, and thought I’d gain some exposure before making a decision about an MS or MBA.
Fast-forward a year into corporate life , I’ve seen the grind, learned a lot, and now I do feel that an MBA might be the right step forward. But wow, preparing for the GMAT while working full-time is a whole different challenge. The office deadlines, the constant fatigue, the daily chores —: it’s exhausting trying to balance everything.
Sometimes I can’t help but wonder: why didn’t I just prepare back then? When I had fewer responsibilities, more time, and fresher energy. Right now, every study session feels like a mini battle of focus and stamina.
Still, I’m showing up day after day ..ugh yeah..because I know why I’m doing this now. But yeah, just being honest... it’s hard.

If, for example, you find it hard to study in the evenings after work sometimes, consider going to sleep earlier and studying early in the morning. May be a better fit sometimes.

Most people take the GMAT while working a job, and yes, it is really hard.
I would recommend trying to restructure your day so you can study early in the morning before work because studying after work is really a pain and not productive at all.
Not sure if you have flexibility to do something like that, maybe at least on the days you work from home. Try to get up at six put in 1.5 hrs (I don’t think you need much more than that in the morning since it’s really productive and I wouldn’t push past that timeframe). Review what you’ve done yesterday, an hour of learning and then 20 minute quiz of 10 questions at the end to check your learning and apply what you have just learned.
