­Hi thomaskiran960,

Regarding your work schedule, I always advise my students to create a thorough study schedule so they know exactly when they will be studying each day of the week. If you do not do that, you’ll be shocked at how studying can get pushed aside for all the other things you have going on in your life.

Regarding your performance, I think you may need to adjust HOW you are preparing. So, one important piece of advice is to ensure you are studying in a topical way. In other words, be sure you are focusing on just ONE quant, verbal, or DI topic at a time and practicing just that topic until you achieve mastery. If you can study in that way, I’m sure you wil start to see incremental improvement. For some more tips on the best way to structure your studying, here is a great article:

Good luck!

Thank you so much for your feedback. I am actually prioritizing studies everytime I am off work and do everything after. Fixed schedule of studies does work. I am just doing my best with how much time I have.

Hello,

I somewhat faced a similar situation but I benefitted an advice from a fellow aspirant. Focus your time on improving your accuracy in high difficulty questions.

This would automatically help you in the timing department.

This struggle is part of the journey of acing GMAT and I wish for you to overcome this stage soon. :)
