My first two gmats didn't go exactly as planned. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to study my next go around. I'm taking a week off right now as I'm fried from last week's test experience. I know I have to work on timing; it's just way off right now. I go in thinking in order to get a good score I need to get all of the first 10 questions correct, leaving me guessing on the the final 6-7 questions and even leaving some questions unanswered (1-2).
My concern is my study habits; I study during the week at my desk for an hour at lunch, have the guys coming by my desk and talk to me causing me to lose focus on what question i was working on and having to start over again. Does my studying on the train do more harm than good?
Same thing happens on my train ride home. People are snoring and are on top of me, i can't get comfortable, and now that I'm writing all this I see this may be a problem. When i get home during the week i'm tired from running around all day at work and from studying, but i put an extra hour or two in and call it quits.
On the weekend I spend my Saturdays in the library from 9-5 and Sunday I just relax.
Should I skip studying during my lunch break and on the train ride home and study when I'm in a more comfortable, quiet area where i can fully concentrate, like in the library on Sundays? Is studying in a loud, uncomfortable environment not similar to the gmat a good thing?
If anyone works full time and is also studying for the gmat, please share any study tips/ experiences you may have.
Thanks
