advice for my study plan

by mehrasa » Tue Sep 13, 2011 7:46 pm
does anybody have soft copy of "Kaplan math workbook" to attach here for students who do not have access to this book.. Appreciate ur kind assistance

I also have another thing i want to consult with u guys in this forum.. i am about 3 weeks studying Math. i had plan to have one month for math, one month verbal and one month review all materials.. now after 3 weeks studying i think if i put aside math exercises for one month I want to study verbal, I will forget some materials and I have to put double effort to remember them... Which kind of change i can make in my study plan to make the best of that?

thnx

I'm not a huge fan of studying Quant and Verbal completely separately, and you're right, a month off from Quant entirely is not a good idea. I would suggest continuing your Quant work, but starting to introduce "chunks" of Verbal study concept-by-concept. For example, if you do 7 "3-hour" study sessions currently and all are Quant, start by swapping out 1 or 2 for Verbal.

Eventually I would make it a rotation, where let's say you have 20 Quant concepts and 12 Verbal concepts you're working on. Keep the studying 40/60, leaning on your weak side, and rotate the concepts every 1-2 hours.

I would begin with the OG to do an overview, then move on to books like MGMAT SC and Powerscore CR. But don't put off Verbal until you are "done" with Quant. You'll never truly be "done" with it, and Verbal takes time to sink in, esp. if you are non-native.
