I just wanted to make sure if this is a normal thing happening with everyone. I am at day 6 yet find myself spending hours, from taking notes while watching the videos, to actually taking my time ..with the exercises and reading, I just wanted to know how some other people are handling time, because Im worried it wont be sustainable in the later weeks. Any advice for minimizing time spent is welcome.

Plus I got worried about my diagnostic test as it deemed me average across the board.

As far as motivation I dont need any, my target score is 720

The time it takes to complete each day's activities will vary from person to person. Also, some days take longer to complete. If you're having difficulties keeping up, don't worry. You can take longer than a day to complete the activities if you run out of time. Plus, later on in the Guide, much of your time is spent working on weaknesses (i.e., not learning new content).

What's important is that you complete all of problems for one day before moving on to the next day's activities. Sticking to one concept at time before moving on to the next concept will help promote mastery of each topic.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Brent

"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."
