Study Plan duration

by Montreal06 » Wed Jul 02, 2008 8:54 am
Hi everyone,

Just had a quick question! If the answers to any of these (or related topics) are already on the forum, please redirect me. :)

-I'm planning on taking the exam on October 4th morning. As such I plan on starting my study plan about mid-July. Do you think this is too much time (2.5 months)?

The last two times I took the GMAT, I only had about 5-6 weeks, mostly filled with late nights at work as it was very busy then. So, now that I have more time, I'm trying to pace the study plan and keep a relaxed frame of mind throughout the study plan so that I'm able to keep the same level of cool during the exam.

Any thoughts and feedback would be very, very appreciated!

Thanks very much!

I think that 2.5 months is the perfect amount of time to study for the test. Any longer then the material you learned early in your prep loses its freshness or may even be forgotten.

If you need help in figuring out a study plan, I urge you to review to resources:
