Hi,

I wanted to quickly post a topic asking for successful strategies used by those who have studied for the GMAT while also balancing a full time job. It seems that many of the drastic success stories (i.e. 530 to 700+ in X months) come from individuals who have had the ability to devote 100% of their time to studying as opposed to also working full time during that period.

I am a consultant for a rather large firm and find myself working long hours each week with minimal energy remaining at the end of the day to study! Has anyone successfully found a way around this with proven results? I am not in a position to take a leave of absence, but if I could, I'm sure that would solve this whole dilemma.

I'm looking to take the test by September so I need a strategy ASAP! Help, ideas, suggestions, past stories are all welcome!

Thanks,
Danielle

I should add that I have all of the Manhattan GMAT books and the OG13 and just need to get into a serious cadence/groove for attacking them!

i haven't taken the test yet/succeeded (yet), so take this with a grain of salt...but it sounds like i'm in a similar situation as yours and this is my weekly schedule for what it's worth:

m-4:30am to 6:30am; 12:00-1:00pm
t-4:30am to 6:30am; 12:00-1:00pm
w-4:30am to 6:30am; 12:00-1:00pm
t-4:30am to 6:30am; 12:00-1:00pm
f-4:30am to 6:30am; 12:00-1:00pm
s-off
s-9:00am to 12:00pm; 2:00-5:00pm
approx 20 hours per week

i started my prep the beginning of this year and i will prob take the test for the first time next month.
