I try to study early in the morning.
The fact that I have to start working from 9 am keeps me focussed.
This makes my weekdays a lot more productive than weekends.
I have been able to complete the TTP material this way.
All the best with your prep.


Thanks for your tips.actually i am doing 1 hour study after work.

How do you get motivated? I put a target score on my bedroom wall with the crests of the schools I wanted to be admitted to.

...maybe spending less time on Social Media will help you find time to progress through the TTP study plan.

Posted from my mobile device
Very good advice. I have taken a break from all social media (except WApp which I need for work).
Recently, I noticed that I was spending a lot of time watching YouTube videos. I am trying to cut that down as well.

Rahul007123 : Have you taken a full mock recently? That should give you an idea of the gap between your current & target score.
If you are already very close to your target score, then that's wonderful! If you feel that you need more time, then give yourself that time.
GMAT Prep is like a marathon (not a sprint). It took me nearly 6 months to work through TTPQ (studying approx. 2 hrs every day). YMMV. :)

MBAaustralia has already given good advice on avoiding burn-out. Burn-out can really hurt your prep. For example, I have noticed that if I push myself too hard (study 6+ hours with workload), then I don't feel like studying for a couple of days. I try to keep my prep consistent. I set daily targets for myself (which are challenging but not too challenging).

Here's another great article by Scott on ideal prep time.

I'm glad to see you are using TTP! Can you provide some more specific details about your work hours?
