working & preparing for GMAT

by bourneJ » Thu Jul 07, 2011 2:16 pm
Hi,
I am trying to juggle work and studying for GMAT. Currently I study for about an hour in the morning and about 1-1.5 hrs in the evening time and energy permitting. I have my GMAT scheduled for 27 Aug. Any recommendations on best possible schedule or stories to share??

Hello!
I wrote about working and studying at the same time in this post which you might find helpful-

Also, have you taken a practice test yet? What's your target score? What are you using to prepare?

Cheers

Dan

Dan,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, i have taken a practice test and my score was 540. There is a big difference between where I am and my target. My target is 700+. I am using OG 12, Verbal review & Manhattan GMAT verbal review . I am almost through with the quant in the OG.
I still have exactly 6 weeks, 27 August. In two weeks time I should be done with SC & CR in OG and then would move on to verbal review. Meanwhile I plan to read the MGMT verbal review so that I can refresh my verbal concepts before I start with verbal review.
Any suggestions on a good book for Quant??
Thanks
J

Manhattan GMAT has good quant books too. Also, a week and a half before the actual test you should take a GMAT prep test to see where you're at. If you don't get the score you want you should consider moving your test date back.
