[align=center]Deciding Your GMAT Preparation Timeline Is Key to Success![/align]
Problematic Thinking: My coworker prepared for two weeks and crushed the GMAT. I’ve been preparing for two months and still am not ready.
Constructive Thinking: All people who take the GMAT prepare for different amounts of time. So, I can’t worry about how long it took my co-worker to prepare.
While it is smart to implement others’ successful preparation methods, you must go at your own pace. Some self-imposed pressure can be healthy, but don’t let stress become a distraction or obstacle in your learning process.
If your coworkers have shared solid study habits with you, then by all means, take note. However, don’t attempt to replicate entire preparation approaches that others have used. Everyone has a different speed at which they absorb and retain information. Additionally, people come to their GMAT preparation at different levels of readiness. Only you can determine how long it will take for you to learn — and retain — what you must in order to hit your goal.
Theodore Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Don’t let unreasonable comparisons of your preparation to that of others get in the way of your success.
