Hope you were able to polish some of the rough edges from last week. Now we start getting a bit more serious. Week 2 is where the math and logic behind GMAT questions start feeling less chaotic and a little more predictable.
Weekly time budget: 10 to 15 hours total
Week 2 rules (so the group stays aligned)
Week 2: Number Properties (Factors, Multiples, Divisibility, Primes, LCM GCD, Remainders)
This is one of the most high-leverage GMAT topics.
If number properties are weak, Data Sufficiency becomes painful and error-prone.
What this week is really about
By the end of Week 2, you should be able to:

Weekly time budget: 10 to 15 hours total
Week 2 rules (so the group stays aligned)

Week 2: Number Properties (Factors, Multiples, Divisibility, Primes, LCM GCD, Remainders)
This is one of the most high-leverage GMAT topics.
If number properties are weak, Data Sufficiency becomes painful and error-prone.
What this week is really about
By the end of Week 2, you should be able to:
- Instantly recognize when a problem is about factors vs remainders
- Avoid mixing up LCM GCD and divisibility logic
- Translate remainder statements into clean equations
- Stop brute-forcing numbers randomly

Target:
- Either reach 80% accuracy on 20 questions, or
- Build a clean streak of 15 correct
You have two ways to do this. Pick the one that fits how you usually study.
Option A: Manual practice (no Forum Quiz subscription needed)
Click the links below, sort by Kudos and solve questions directly on the forum.
Option B: Forum Quiz mode (recommended if you have the subscription)
- Build 2 quizzes: (1) Factors & Multiples, (2) Remainders
- Goal is the same as Option A: 80% on 20 or a streak of 15
- Do small sets (15 questions). Review after each set.
Timing ramp for Phase 1
- Set 1: Untimed (focus on setup and accuracy)
- Set 2: Soft-timed (generous time, still process-focused)
- Set 3: Normal pacing only after accuracy is stable
Phase 2: Official-style questions (only after Phase 1 feels comfortable)
Once the practice sets feel comfortable, it's good to start testing yourself on official-style questions:

Common traps to actively watch for
Keep it simple:
- Treating remainder questions as divisibility questions
- Forgetting to define variables before plugging numbers
- Solving LCM GCD by intuition instead of structure
- Random number testing without constraints

Critical Reasoning - Assumption
This is the natural continuation of Week 1 foundations.
Assumption questions test whether you truly understand the argument, not whether you can spot keywords.
What you should get out of this week
By the end of the week, you should be able to:
- Predict the assumption before looking at choices
- Use negation confidently without second-guessing
- Distinguish necessary vs sufficient assumptions
- Eliminate tempting but irrelevant answers faster

hr1212 How many weeks' plan is this. I am asking so that I can back calculate from my target GMAT date and plan accordingly because I have already spent time on basics. Please let me know

We have the first 8 weeks focused on building the basics. After that, we’ll spend a few more weeks on test-taking strategies and how to structure your practice across medium and high difficulty questions, along with planning your mocks.
