Hello All,
I am trying to take the GMAT in order to apply for January MBA deadlines. I took the diagnostic test from the Official 2019 Guide. I scored below average in Quantitative, I struggled with the concepts. In verbal I did well. Read Comp Above average, Critical Reasoning Excellent, and sentence structure average. I guess I need a study plan that is Quantitative based. I read through the concepts and did 50 more problems in the official guide, but then read you should be saving these for the actual practice tests so I stopped. I am starting to develop an error log now, and am also going to be buying the Manhattan Prep books in the near future. I read that on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday you should be reading theory and practicing with questions while marking up in your error log. Then Thursday, Friday, Saturday should be redoing questions, revisiting concepts, and making flashcards from the questions incorrectly done twice. How should I incorporate this technique into actual material given my goal of applying by January? Is this a good technique?
Thank you!

Hi Brendan,
To start, there are a number of different ways that you could study for the GMAT - and a variety of different practice materials to choose from. Before we can discuss a Study Plan that might best fit your needs, a bit more information is required.
Since it sounds like you're relatively early-on in your studies, it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). That score will give us a more-defined idea of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi btwhite,
While all the advices you have received are valid and would have worked really well for some students, it is essential that you do not get overwhelmed by them. Like you have rightly identified, study tips must be incorporated in a study plan instead of using them in isolation and in a haphazard manner. I think you will find this article on creating Personalized Study Plans to be very useful in creating a study plan for yourself.
We are conducting RC webinar and Quant workshop this weekend which would be very useful for you. In the RC webinar you will get to learn how to read a passage of any length and topic effectively so that it becomes simple to comprehend what the author wants to communicate through the passage. In the Quant workshop you will get Personalized insights on how to achieve your Target Quant Score. Register using the below links to reserve your spot.
