Hi,
How do you manage to get out of a rut? I've been pretty inconsistent regarding my study plan. I stopped studying about 2 months ago, and I have not been able to get back on track. I know I must study and I have enough time to do so. However, I'm lacking the motivation.
I'm dealing with some stuff right now that might have thrown me out of track. For instance, I'm not enjoying my job anymore and I want to move to a higher paying position in another company in order to guarantee my financial stability. Has this happened to you?
Anyways, I'll really appreciate your advice.
PS: For anyone wondering, I'm subscribed to Target Test Prep, and I have not been able to continue their course.

Same I can feel you, after all of that is happening around I can not bring myself to study It is like brain will like to do anything but study :s
The only solution I see is to force yourself to study.

Hi AE11,
From a psychological-standpoint, I suspect that most (if not all people) over the last year have felt a certain degree of uncertainty, unhappiness or even straight-on depression - so any demotivation that you might be feeling right now about your GMAT studies is understandable (as those feelings might be the extension of other feelings). There's also something to be said for how each individual "learns best" - and it might be that your study approach thus far hasn't been a great match for your personality.
The overall task of applying to (and ultimately attending) Business Schools requires that you commit a great deal of resources (time, money and energy). Thankfully, the process can be broken down into small pieces, so you might think in terms of 'small wins' along the way (and that's not just in terms of the GMAT). Anything that you can do to further your ultimate Goal to get into your first-choice School can be seen as a 'victory' (and that could be gathering data about Programs, writing sample Essays, discussing your plans with an Admissions Expert, etc.). The GMAT is arguably the most challenging piece of the application, but the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Test, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. If you want to take some 'time off' from your studies, then that's fine - but make sure that it's actually time off. Taking some time to clear your head is a smart move, but if you're just lamenting that you should be studying, then that's not particularly beneficial.
Before I can offer you any additional advice, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied in total?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
