Best Way to Incorporate the OG

by carey » Tue Sep 29, 2015 6:32 pm
I saved the OG to study after I reviewed basic concepts. What is the best way to attack the OG? I know Manhattan lists OG questions by groups. Is it better to work on all similar questions at the same time or to open up the OG and start doing questions?

You might consider signing up for Beat The GMAT's free 60-Day Study Guide (https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/gmat-guide). Over 40,000 Beat The GMAT students have already done so.

Each day, you'll receive an email with a series of learning activities that guide you, step-by-step, from Day 1 to test day. This will ensure that you will cover everything that the GMAT tests.

The Guide uses the OG for practice and either the Manhattan books or the GMAT Prep Now video for instruction.

Here's an outline of all 60 emails: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/gmat-guide-outline

Hi carey,

The OG Books are great sources for practice questions, but they're not designed to teach you Tactics, the repeating patterns or any of the 'secrets' of the GMAT. The main OG is a great 'companion' piece in a larger study plan, but jumping straight into that book to answer questions might not be the best use of that resource.

1) How long have you been studying?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) What is your score goal?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
