I have all the mgmat guides and I'm knocking it out one chapter at a time taking extensive notes on things I need to learn. Currently this is what I am doing. Please let me know your thoughts or ideas on how to be more efficient/ get the most out of these books. Right now I am working full time so my schedule goes as follows:
monday - friday 1-2 chapters a day.
- I take extensive notes and make flashcards of all the things I do not know and what the books tell me to memorize.
Whenever there are practice problem sets I split them into two days.
- I use Eric's timed gmat grid and do the practice problems in a simulated test environment doing about 40 problems at a time. I then go thru and mark which ones I got wrong and use the MGMAT books to try to figure them out myself if it is a concept error. I then make flashcards of the concept errors I made (this usually takes a whole 3 hours including the problems themselves)
Saturday I leave for a review of the material day
- A lot of my math is rusty and the material is practically brand new to me since i forgot most of it. I feel the books are really dense and I need a 3 hour block to review what I learned previously. I hope this will pound the information into my head so that I do not forget it.
Sunday I rest
Pros: I feel like I am retaining the information fairly well.
Cons: The process seems long and dragged out
Thanks you!
