I am in the very early stages of applying to Bschool, having less than 1YOE, my plan is to apply September 2025 or 2026 (more likely).
Being far from any deadlines, I wanted to know if it is advisable to study 10-15 hours/week until September, and then study more intensely from September onwards and take my GMAT around Dec-Feb, depending on how close I am to my target score (650 FE). I am plan on completing all of TTP in preperation for the GMAT, which does not appear to be doable in 6 months at 10-15 hours per week.
Would you advise against this strategy? I am wary of potentially forgetting previously learned material and simply "running out of steam" by studying for 9-12 months less intensely, vs 6 months very intensely. On the other hand I can see how slow and consistent learning can be helpful for achieving true mastery of topics. Would love to hear your input.
A part of me wants to enjoy my first summer not studying in years, another part of me wants to go all in on GMAT preparation. Does finding a middle ground of studying 10-15 hours/week and perhaps only focusing on one section make sense?
Thank you

Hi Andrew.
The answer really depends on what works for you personally and how you prepare.
Some people would likely find preparing over the course of 10 months or more dragging things out or might have difficulty retaining what they learned for that long of a period. I'm certainly not saying that preparing for 9 to 12 months would not work. I'm more saying that some people might find it way less than ideal.
For others, whether they prepared for 6 months or 10 months wouldn't make much difference.
You can make it make less difference by thoroughly learning the hows and whys of topics so that you remember them because you have logical frameworks supporting your memory.
In any case, preparing over a long period can work fine as long as you stick with it, learn topics thoroughly, and review topics from time to time.
On another note, you may not need that much time anyway. After all, it could be that you already have much of the knowledge and many of the skills necessary for achieving your target score.
You can get a better sense of how much time you'll need by taking an official practice test after preparing some and seeing how you do.
For some tips on how best to prepare to achieve your target score, see this post.

A score remains valid for 5 years so you could take it now or later if you wanted. One thing you could do without fully committing to prep right now is taking an Official Focus mock after getting a bit familiar with the material. If, for example, you're already very close to your target, perhaps you decide it makes sense to just get this "done with" right now.
All the best whatever you decide. Some info below that may help if you take a mock.
