Thanks! I spent on average between 2 to 3 hours each day but it really varied depending on the chapter. There are 20 chapters total and some were short while others were longer. The 1 month study plan basically splits the content into sections called modules. It doesn't really split it into specific...

Hi Rich,

My dream school is Stanford. I plan on applying for Round 2 so that I still have time to apply to other schools in case it doesn't work out with Stanford.

The 2 other schools that I am interested in are NYU and Carnegie Mellon.

Do you have any advice on this?

580 to 720 in 4 weeks thanks to help from Beat the GMAT!

Reading how others beat the GMAT helped me during my journey. So here is my GMAT story of how I went from 580 (Q42 V29) to 720 (Q49 V39) in 1 month. I took the GMAT 4 years ago just in case I wanted to go to grad school. At the time, I wasn't seriously considering going back to school but nonetheles...

Taking the CATs at home, while convenient, is NOT realistic. Beyond the obvious environmental differences, when combined with the 1-HOUR trip to get to the Testing Center, you were simply not properly prepared for your specific Test Day 'event.' The details matter, so you have to account for them d...

Hi Marty, I absolutely agree that tightening my approach and keeping my cool are key. Timing is something I worry about. I worry about getting stuck on even one question and then not having enough time to finish the section. Obviously I have time to spare with verbal and will work on slowing down. I...

Hi Rich, Here are my answers to your follow up questions: 1) What did you do during the last 3 days before your GMAT?- I took 1 last practice CAT 3 days before the test and then spent the remaining days reviewing the areas I felt I needed to review the most. 2) How did you sleep the night before Tes...

Hi Rich, Here are my answers to your questions: 1) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)? - I always took the entire test every time. I wanted to make sure that I had the stamina to make it through the 4 hours on actual test day. 2) Did you take them at home? - Yes 3) Did...

HELP! Bombed the GMAT and Need to Retake in 1 month

I took the GMAT yesterday and totally bombed it. I was averaging high 600 to low 700 on my practice tests at home so I thought the worst I could do was somewhere in the high 600s. I got 580 and both my quant and verbal scores were lower than even my worst practice test. I haven't decided exactly whe...
