GMAT 770- My study schedule

Hey Guys!

I already posted about how I beat the GMAT here, but I just found my study schedule for my last two months of study and thought I would share in case anyone found it helpful.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

How many hours do you study each day?

For the first month of that schedule, I studied an average of about 3 hours per day, 5 days a week. During the final month I took time off work and studied about 6-8 hours a day 6 days a week

BestGMATEliza,

For example - I am assuming the MGMAT CRITICAL REASONING (1-4) on day 1 refer to the book's chapters, right?

Did you really study them while doing some problems or did you only read through the chapters to get a feeling of the material?

Thanks!

Yes, sorry for the confusion. The numbers (1-4, etc) means chapters. Because I had taken the LSAT previously which has a critical reasoning and reading comp section, I only skimmed the chapters for the RC and CR guides, but did all the practice problems. For the other guides, I read the chapters and took notes in addition to doing all the practice problems. I think practicing is how you improve most, especially with RC and CR where you don't have to learn any new facts or rules, you just need to learn how to take the test.

Hope this helps!
