I used to score around 550-600 in mocks a month ago. I took a complete break from studies for almost a month and now I want to restart the preparation. Please guide whether I should revise my notes before I get into practice mode? What should be the plan? I was practicing (quiz+review) around 40 Q every day.

Hi Gayatri259,

Getting back to studies after a break can be quite challenging. It takes considerable effort to stay motivated right till the end. It is important that you have a proper study plan and clear deadlines which will help you to stay motivated. Let me share my insights on how to plan your preparation.

As you are coming back after a gap of a month, I recommend you to take a mock and assess your current level. Analyze your performance and identify the weak areas. You need to identify the reason behind the struggle as well. The reason can be due to gaps in conceptual understanding or lack of application of concepts. Once you identify -

  • Go through the concepts (Start with your weaker area)
  • Learn the right methodology to solve the questions (Most important)
  • Take sectional quizzes for that particular topic
  • Move to the next topic only if you get at least 80%

Follow this process for all the topics and once you are done with all the topics, start taking mocks. If you are able to score around your target in a couple of mocks consistently, you are good to book a slot.

Having said that, I emphasize on learning the right methodology so much because GMAT is a test of application of concepts and it is important to use the right strategies to score well. And as I mentioned earlier, make sure you have a proper study plan with clear deadlines. Make sure you get it right this time.

If you are open to suggestions, GMATWhiz is one such unique course which provides you with a personalised study plan that is integrated with the course, with clear deadlines.

It uses AI to provide you with real time improvement modules after every practice quiz .It provides you with additional concept videos and practise quizzes to help you improve. This helps you overcome your weaker areas in a specific topic right away without having to put in additional effort to identify your weaker areas.

For further guidance, it would be helpful if you can provide me with the following details:

1. The time you are able to devote to studying each day
2. Resources you used for prep
3. The structure and study plan you followed
4. Your target score
5. Your target month

Feel free to write back if you have any queries.
