i' almost done with 9 manhattan and 3 official guides. Most people i spoke with they say after study is done then just do cats and focus on its mistake and no need to review manhattan and official guide 12 books again.


Need opinion here do we need to review again after study is over.

I depends on the depth of the mistakes made while taking practice tests.
For example, if you keep getting all Geometry questions wrong, you should probably go back and review Geometry concepts in your MGMAT books.
If your mistakes are superficial (forgot a certain rule, careless error, etc), then you reviewing your MGMAT books is probably unnecessary.

Cheers,

Hi november22,

Until you take a FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections), we're not going to know how comfortable you are with all of the material. As such, you should plan to take one soon, then report back here with your scores. We can use those results to figure out what you should work on next.

At this point for you just doing the practice questions is the right approach. No need to keep reviewing study material just practice practice!

Hi november22,

Without knowing what your baseline score is from a full-length practice exam, it's difficult to know WHY you're getting certain questions wrong. While knowing how many you've answered incorrectly is a good start, you'll want to dig deeper and identify if you're having timing issues or if there are some deeper rooted challenges you're having with the material itself. Looking forward to hearing your results from a practice exam, as we'll all be able to provide more valuable insight from there.

Best,
Rich
