hi...
so i left sc half way coz it was getting a lil tedious and started with math fr a change of taste...
was wondering...i m following the mgmat guides for both math and verbal...
for math ideally how much should i spend on each guide...coz i went thru the frst one it seems to have a lot of material to absorb...just so that i dont fall behind back on the pace and start taking it lightly...just wanna know ideally how time is good enuff....

from the look of the guides...it seemed a day or two max wud be sufficient..but it took me around 4 days to finish number properties...!!thats slow rite? and btw my math is good.

Depending on the score of course, but if you are shooting for 700+, you should plan to spend 1 month on Math and 1 month on Verbal, possibly 1.5 months on each if you are overly busy, so your speed is WAY too fast. I would not move on until you are comfortable and have a good understanding of the subjects and can answer almost all of the questions, and don't uneasy.

I stuck to math and then did verbal, but you can variate as it pleases you, just as long as you do a diligent job at covering the material - make notes if you need to.

good advice!....

i think i am currently not at liberty to spend 1 mth on each given the time constraint...planning to give the gmat by mid nov max....but i guess if delaying the date can give me enuff time to come to the 700 mark...i mite as well do it...time shall tell...:)

thanx a lot bb... :)
