Hi,
I'm currently trying to prep for the GMAT. I'm really bad at math and alot of the concepts I've forgotten and don't remember. I've registered with Magoosh to assist. I'm trying to tackle their 3-month plan being that I've scheduled to take the test April 2018 so that I can apply for priority deadlines at the schools of my interest but I'm finding it hard to follow that plan being that I work full time and am currenlty taking the last 6 credit hours for my undergraduate degree and I'm married with 4 kids. I'm super swamped! Considering this, I'm behind on their 3-month plan but I do not want to follow a 6 month plan being that I won't have time (if need be) to retest prior to the max deadline of July. If I take in April and do not like my score, I will have time to retest prior to the July final deadline. Can anyone help me? Offer any suggestions or strategies to help me better retain and study in order to do a good job considering my schedule and time frame left...tips and tricks....

nekiwa07 – A lot of people find it difficult to take time out to study for the GMAT. Having said that, I must say that you are in a particularly difficult situation.
First things first – something has to give. Studying for GMAT is a huge change in everyone’s life and to make time you need to make compromises, whether its reducing social commitments, or getting more take-out (cooking less), or spending less time with kids. So the first thing you need to do is “make time” and communicate the people who are/will be impacted. This is a very important conversation that you need to have.
Second – plan. Write down when you would do what. Its absolutely important that you do this. Things get etched in our memory and we are more determined to execute once your write things down. One more thing – keep your plan simple. For example, study for the GMAT for an hour at 6 am every day. If you have things planned, and it’s the same time every day, you won’t need to decide whether you need to study or not. The fewer decisions you need to make, the more likely you are to study. One last thing – only plan 80% of your available time. Never 100%. Why because some things always come up at the last moment and you may need the 20% cushion then.
Third – evaluate and iterate. Take time out every week to evaluate whether you are able to execute on your plan or not. Figure out the reasons and improve your plan iteratively.
I hope the above helps!!
