Welcome to GMAT Club - Start Here!

Thank you and it is great to have you a part of the GMAT club.

my recommendation based on my experience to everyone who’s working and taking the GMAT which is probably the vast majority of people, condenser preparation into a three or four month time period.

Would work well for me, was studying first thing in the morning. I would get up at 6:30 or something like that and I would study for about an hour and a half. Maybe two hours. it will be different for everyone.

I would always start by reviewing yesterday‘s material and reviewing key takeaways. I would then dive into the chapter I was covering that day. I would read it as I was reading I would be creating notes. I was using the Kaplan book. Then I would usually do a 10 question quiz at the end of the chapter and check my results and see how I did. My goal was too get 90% of the questions right. If I got less than 80, that meant I had to do the chapter again. 80% was my minimum passing grade.

That was the major bulk of studying I did for the day. Through the day, I would do other busy things such as learning vocab, grandma rules which are longer tested and any formulas I needed to memorize. I have a neat list of square root root of three similar.

I could do some additional practice during lunch if I felt I needed to do more questions where I wasn’t feeling confident.

Then at night when I would go back from work, I would read books and fiction to help me improve my reading comprehension skills as well as my sentence correction skills though again sentence corrections is no longer tested. But I wouldn’t do and I wouldn’t do any studying besides the morning. This would allow me to make sure I finish my chapters and studying during my most quality time and I would not procrastinate and put it off to a later time because I did not solve a lot of questions, I would only solve maybe 20 questions if I did another 10 during lunch, I didn’t have to spend a lot of time practicing, reviewing, and then preserving my error log and making sure that was fresh.

Something else I would do at night review my error and sort of chuckle at the mistakes I’ve made and see how much of grown. I wouldn’t try to solve the same questions over and over because that’s pointless but instead I would explain to myself why I made a mistake, what the correct solution was and why that is the solution and why did I make the mistake and why I will not make a similar mistake in the future. I would let careless mistakes sort of slide during the beginning phase of my prep but by the end, you have to eradicate all mistakes and careless mistakes become bigger and bigger problem so you will need to come up with a solution for those as well but that can wait in my opinion.
