Hi all,

I've just finished going through the General sections of the MGMAT strategy guides... but I've skipped over the Advanced topics for the time being. Considering how it took me nearly 8 weeks to finish the General sections, should I bother trying to go through the readings and In Action's for the Advanced Topics in each of the guides? How necessary is the material, and how much focus should I place on these sections? My goal is 700+ on the GMAT.

Thanks!

Yes, you should read the advanced sections and go through the problems at the end of the chapters as well.

I agree. You should read through the advanced sections (at least in quant). There is a lot of VERY useful stuff in there.
