My review so far

by jonnyslide » Sun Oct 02, 2011 8:00 pm
Just wanted to thank whoever put this all together. This study plan is great. I recommend creating a folder in your email inbox to filter these to a "GMAT" folder, for a quick way to reference previous days.

From my experience, it is unlikely you will finish every problem, every day, and if you miss a day because you are traveling, it can be easy to lose track of where you are.

I recommend planning to accomplish this in 70-80 days, it will give you enough wiggle room and it will allow you 1 day a week devoted to just reviewing content you did in the week.

If you spend 3-4 hours a night on this, you want to be able to go back and re-check what you maybe/kinda/sorta understood.

I haven't gotten to verbal yet, I have been using Manhattan GMAT along with OG and the OG Companion, which is priceless BTW. It tells you word for word how to complete, and diff. methods of doing so, also shows you the relative difficulty of each question in OG, so you can get a sense of 500-600, 600-700, and 700-800, etc., which will make you feel good when you see you are starting to hammer out the tough ones.

Anyhow, I appreciate whoever put this together, it is really awesome.

I also like this study program. I am on day 10, and I am being a little flexible. I learned early on that the program has day 60 is supposed to be the test day. Knowing this, I created a buffer zone. I looked at at a Calendar and marked the days I definitely needed to take off (Sundays and a few weekends). This extended my prep program by 20 days or so. However, the test day will fall on on the 60th day of my preparation. I can't wait! I am learning a lot so far. I am focusing on using my own reasoning on every question I answer, trying not to resort to formulaic approaches. I am now evaluating prompts... that is.... I am ripping prompts apart because they contain key information. For example, "the line goes through point O,O and has a slope of 2. What do I know from this? both x's and y's have to be the same sign!
