So, my first studying stint was back in June. Studied for a solid month, before I got side tracked with work and a mini vacay...Since second week of July until now, have not had the time to contribute as much due to work and other work-related activities. I made significant progress in the material, but if you don't keep practicing, it's hard to retain all the information, especially in quant. My test date is scheduled for 26 August, but I think I am pushing out. I completely bombed another practice test this past weekend (530 31Q 30V) after I made significant improvement 3 weeks ago (600 42Q 31V). With Labor Day weekend around the corner, I wanted to create an intense 7 week study plan to begin the week after LDW through end of Ocotober (new projected test date) in order to hopefully achieve my desired score of 700+
I'm using the following as studying sources:
OG 12 (Quant, RC completed; SC / CR 90% complete)
Quant Review 2nd Ed (complete)
Verbal Review 2nd Ed (50% complete)
MGMAT Strategy Guides
Powerscore CR Bible
Does anyone have any suggestions on approach? Maybe a detailed study calendar they can share that's worked for them? I'm working about 50 hours a week so it's not easy juggling the both, but I will do anything to get the score I want...700+...anything else is non-negotiable!
Thanks

I would be sure to do plenty of practice and error log review between each test. I think as test day looms some people have an urge to binge on CATs, which is exactly the wrong thing to do. Find your weaknesses, focus on those and use the CATs as a way to gauge your progress every week or two AT MOST. Doing tests doesn't make you better, reviewing them does.

Hi,
It's all about focus man! If you get side tracked by justifiable or non-justifiable reasons, the final impact it has on your over all preparedness is devastating!
That said, I think this article will really help you:
