Hello All,
I have been tackling a crazy work schedule (in addition to life issues) lately, so my GMAT prep has fallen off the rails.
I plan to take this exam in late October. I have taken it before. This test is a true pain in the rear. So, I would like this to be the last time I take this.
In any event, I have taken my practice tests and done my post exam consultation with a Manhattan GMAT tutor. She enlightened me as to what type of topics I need to work on. Her main suggestion was to just do lots of problems in the areas where I need work. Timing is a big issue - she suggested I time all practice (which I have been doing).
Here is the question:
When studying a subject area (such as Critical Reasoning or Sentence Correction), do you study it from start to finish? My basic format has been to study each Manhattan GMAT book separately, complete with OG questions. However, I wanted to do some verbal questions intermingled with the math sections (daily).
Does anyone have any other suggestions as to how to keep all the material fresh? When searching this site, I found a good Kaplan article about this subject. They suggested doing five problems daily of a section that is separate from the one you are currently studying. For instance, if I was studying Critical Reasoning, then I would do five questions daily from the Number Properties section (or some other math subject).
Thanks to all. I have about 2.5 months...so I would like to ensure I am doing this properly. I am spending about 1.5-2 hours during the evening (during the week). I plan to ramp up the studies during the weekend to about 4-5 hours per day.
