Hello Experts, I am planning for a part time or Exec MBA (USC or UCLA). 10 years of work exp, very strong academic background. Already registered for 3 months study plan. Have OG13+ MGMAT guides + Aristotle SC Grail. Gave GMAT Prep and scored 580, a wake up call indeed. I was very good in Maths but a decade is a long time for skills to get rusted. Targeting 720 score on lower side. Please advise a sound study strategy that can work for me. Can devote 1-2 hours on weekdays and 10 hours on weeks with proper planning.

Hi worldpeace09,

When you say that you "already registered for 3 months study plan" does that mean that you've set aside 3 months to study or that you've enrolled in a 3-month class?

Also, when you scored 580, what were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores?
When are you planning to apply to Business School?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hello Rich, I registered for "A 3-Month GMAT Prep Plan" on this forum. I was thinking 3 months would be a good time frame to revise all the concepts and fundamentals through self study. My score in gmatprep was Q37 V32. I am planning to apply in Round 2 for classes starting in 2015.
