Hi,
I just started preparing for GMAT and its my first day of 60 days study guide.

I have following questions:
- Although I will try my best to be on schedule as per this plan however in case I miss any day, how may I cover it.
- I feel I need to prepare little more for verbal section, so should prepare in parallel for both the sections or Verbal section first

Thanks!

I recommend that you complete all of problems for one day before moving on to the next day's activities. Sticking to one concept at time before moving on to the next concept will help promote mastery of each topic. It's also important to note that there are several math topics that build on previous math topics, so it's a good idea to build a strong foundation before moving on.

Given all of this, don't worry if you fall behind. Day 42 is the last day that you learn new content, and the remaining days are devoted to taking practice tests and working on weaknesses. So, you can always catch up then.

Regarding your second question, I think it's a good idea to master one section at a time. Here's the outline of all 60 emails: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/gmat-guide-outline

Thanks Brent!

I have completed 5 days of the "60 days study guide".
I feel that I need to devote more time to Verbal section, so wish to complete it first, while in this study program Quantitative section is covered first.

Please suggest that can I change the sequence of this study guide sections or some way to take topics in parallel. e.g. 2 days Quantitative then 2 days verbal or alternative days.
