To all,

I attached a copy of an excel sheet that contains a 4 month GMAT study schedule. Please feel free to use it as you see fit. The first month is used to get comfortable with the material. Months 2-4 are designed to be more challenging and as such you may want to time each exercise day. (i.e. 2min per math question; 1:49min per verbal question). The spreadsheets are also designed to give you an accuracy score. I aim for a 80% accuracy rate, with a 90%+ target. Total week average should be 425%+ accuracy.

As always let me know how I can help. Please feel free to make needed adjustments.

Good luck.

Thanks for the schedule. I'm just starting with my preparation for the test. Can you share what books/online testing/etc you used for your preparation? Thanks again!

Although I am not an Engg. student, but I had very detailed math courses until high school. But when I started practicing for the GMAT I found that I'm lacking in concepts, and taking more than required time to solve for the questions. It's been 13 days since I have started studying, but I feel deeply unmotivated because of my poor quantitative skills.

As for the verbal practice, it's not a wonder that I am lacking in the verbal section too since I am a non native english speaker! I am pointing out some of my major lacking in both Quant. and Verbal sections-

Problems in PS & DS Section:
1. Algebra applied problem
2. Arithmetic applied problem
3. Integers
4. Rate, time, distance problem

Problems in RC, CR & SC Section:
1. RC- lack of patience to read the whole passage & need to go through the passage over and over again.
2. CR- face difficulty in making inferences, conclusions etc
3. SC- somewhat okay with this section, but still need to improve.

---------
Now at this point, I really am confused from where should I start studying? How could I prepare myself within this amount of time?

My exam date: Nov. 27 2008
Target Score: 650+

"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."
