Suffering GMAT burnout ?

by georgepaul0071987 » Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:38 am
Hey guys ,

I'm going to be taking my GMAT sometime in August/September . My prep is going into overdrive now . I've been studying like 3-4 hours on weekdays and about 8 hours on the weekends . For the last one week or so I've been really struggling , nothing seems to be entering my head . I feel like I'm suffering a burnout because as soon as I start studying I feel exhausted !

Is it advisable to just take a week off and relax ? Or do I need to somehow push through because my exam is just about 2 months away ?

If you haven't already done so, you might want to take a practice test to see where you stand.
Who knows - you may already be close to reaching (or exceeding) your target score, in which case you can slow down with the studying.

Cheers,
