The goods: I ordered all 8 Manhattan Study Guides, and the 1
year access to the CAD's. I also ordered the OG Quant / Verb
and the OG 12th Edition. I downloaded the free Flashcards
and the free GMAT prep software.

The plan: I plan on going through all 8 Manhattan Study
Guides (2 hours minimum per day / 6 days a week). After this I
plan on starting my 1st practice tests (moving to 7 days
a week with tests on Sunday). After these study guides
are complete I will be going over the OG Quant / Verb, and
doing more practice questions from the 12th edition. I'm
going to be reading the flashcards during spare time
(I'm a senior in college with 1 hour gaps in between classes
and whatnot). I plan on starting the GMATPrep Practice Tests
during the 5th Manhattan prac. exam(2 a week). I have a large
amount of time and would like to set myself up for a
good score.

My question is, any thoughts or recommendations to my
strategy. Any advice is welcomed.

Thanks in advance!

Hi brentbackow89,

Your strategy looks substantial and very thorough. I only have a few suggestions. First, start out with some practice tests to see where you are now and compare that to where you want to be. This will also help you pinpoint trouble areas that you may need to spend more time on. You can get our free practice test here https://theprincetonreview.com/free-onli ... tests.aspx and find others on the right hand side of Beat the GMAT's homepage.

Also, be careful prepping 7 days a week; you do not want to burn out. I would suggest trying to fit your studies into 6 days a week and scheduling a 'GMAT free day' at least once per week.

Furthermore, I am not sure how many practice tests you plan to take, but I would recommend 10-15. This will help you find your weak areas and build stamina (which is really important - the GMAT is a trying test).

Lastly, I am not sure how long you plan to spend studying. At 2 hours per day/6 days per week, you should plan to study for about 4 months. If you have any further questions, feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected]. Good luck! :)

Best Regards,
Anthony

Appreciate the excellent advice, I'll be sure to do some
practice tests and narrow in on some weak points.

Thanks again!
