Help please GMAT in next month !

by sandeep800 » Sun Oct 30, 2011 2:19 am
Hi,
I need your help please.I have my GMAT on 5th december and i am not able to grasp the concepts. although i have completed the quant MGMAT books but i haven't started applying the concepts in questions.i feel like forgetting the concepts and go back to reading books again,i have wasted past one month doing this reading and reading MGMAT guides without application :( coz i dont know how to use them? should i straight go with OG books after MGMAT guides to apply the concepts??

please help me with one month strategy to prepare in a systematic manner so that i can achieve my target score of 750.

this is my last chance and without any proper strategy to study, i feel like out of the game :(
i have 8 MGMAT guides,Veritas books + on demand videos,power score CR bible,OG 12,11,10 and 1st and 2nd edition official quant and Verbal books,magoosh question bank,gmat pill,
kaplan 2010 premier ,and some downloaded notes.


thanx in advance!

Hi

You need brute practice of questions. Start doing 100 problems per day of The Official Guide for the GMAT Review - for practice problems.

It will help you.

I think you need to start practicing quite a bit to get all those concepts down properly. You have a lot of good resources, the key is to prioritize now: since you've practiced very little, then my bet is that you need to do that.

Also, I'd advise you to focus on the topics that are giving you a hard time and to spend some time on verbal. You haven't mentioned any verbal guides, so that has to be a priority for you!

Different people have different methods of working their way through GMAT preparations...
What was written in this post worked for me -->

In my case, I really didn't do too many questions. Rather, I focused on squeezing the juice out of every problem I solved. In other words, quality >> quantity.

Cheers!

Hi Sandeep,

Have patience and take your time as GMAT preparation needs a complete mental peace as you can't perform well with such anxieties! This is good that you had spent lots of time in reading MGMAT guides as it will not go in waste. You are now much aware of the guidelines so it will now help you in execution.

You need to practice and devote some extra time on each section as you are not left with much time. Try solving more practice/mock papers to assist your performance daily. Try to look more on solved queries and specially to those where you are doing mistakes.

Wishing you good luck for your preparations and exams. If you have any further queries? Feel free to ask us �

Hi, im taking my test this month. My Quants for the gprep test averaging 50. I have completed the practice materials like MGMAT SC, OG for verbal But in the GPREP i find many questions in SC which are very weird and which dont have any fixed rule

1.Please help with a strategy to tackle such problems in the exam.
2.Strategy tips on Tough SC.

Some of the bizarre problems.

Hi thanx dana for your reply. Should i start with OG problems straight away.or should spend some time working on Other resources so that i dont run out of OG questions in the last??
I have Manhattan SC Foundation as well as MGMAT Main SC guide.

According to most of the forum replies studying for more than 4-5 hours is of no use??is it so??

thanx !

Exactly.

"I will consider each day's effort as
but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak.
The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood,
nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, of itself,
may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet
from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble.
So it will be with my efforts of today."
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has" - Margaret Mead
