How long does it take to finish one time review of OG?? Post Sun Feb 11, 2007 5:35 pm
Hellow all Smile,

First of all, I wish all of you may get your goal score of GMAT in this year!!

I'm a dummy for GMAT, who have a target score of over 720!!

I'm not native speaker whose mother tongue is not english, so I have to study verbal section very hard.

But, I think I could help you for Quantitative Section, because my major is Electronic Engineering. So, feel free to give me your question about math.

I want to ask you, guys.

Every one says OG is the most required textbook. But its number of pages are huge.

So, I'd like to ask you how long your days it takes for you to finish the first time of reviewing OG.

Thank you for reading, I'll look forward to hearing your experience.

Hi, I am not a native speaker either I am am doing pretty well on the verbal area thanks to Manhattan Grammar book (it seems I am selling this book, naa...I am not getting any kickback from the editorial house)

About your question, it depends how fast are you at understanding the explanations, working on the problems, and your motivation. I would say maybe 3-4 days if you dedicate enough time during those three days. In my case was quite fast since OG was almost like a book you cannot put down, if you know what I mean (I have not life beside the GMAT these days Embarassed ), I HAD to finish the book!

I hope it helps even though this is a very subjective question...

I spent a few weeks going through OG. I recommend that you keep a pace that allows you to really understand the material well.

To see how I studied the book, please visit by GMAT Blog: http://beatthegmat.blogspot.com

Best of luck!

Also it depend how much time you have left. As I said, the first time maybe you can finish the book in less than one week, but I did the book twice, so maybe Eric is right, if you want to study the book only once spend more time then. This approach might be more effective.
