I just started studying about a month ago and I've spent roughly 2-3 hours a day (usually in the mornings) studying. I don't know if that's enough! Besides working part time, cooking and working out at the gym, I spend most of my free time studying. Lately I've been considering giving up the gym in favor of more study time. Do you guys think that's necessary? I originally planned about 6 hours of study spread out through the whole day, but that's not going to happen if I keep working out. So, the bottom line is, do I need that much study time?

No.

Don't study every day. Also, don't work out every day. Maybe study every other day and work out on the days you don't study? Or something like that. You definitely don't need to be studying six hours a day -- you won't really improve like that, you'll just burn out.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
