hi everybody.

i study gmat for about 1.5 year. First time i was in gmat center about a year ago after 6 month study and get 610 . after i studied about 7 month and get 620. i thought that i'm doing something wrong. 2 things concern me mostly . one of them is study hour and the other one is i'm not working over my incorrect answers properly ( it's indeed the problem and i understand it).
regarding the first one, i would like to ask experst how many hours normal man study for gmat daily? i managed to work over gmat about 5-6 hours . and some people tell me that because of that i can't consentrate . is it really problem and i should reduce the study hours? let's say 2-3 hour a day?

In the GMAT center I've contacted, they recommend 4-5 hours of intensive studying (daily) - for at least two months. People are different, therefore someone needs extra hours of studying, someone doesn't... I'm no expert, but when did you last time have touch with math, before preps for the GMAT? What questions dou you find the most difficult?

(I have problems as well, so ...)

may be the problem is that, i'm too old for this games )) i'm 27 years old. may be that's why i cann't concentrate over the material .

math is not problem . the only diffuculty there is , i don't remember much formulas. now i'm doing flash cards in order to remember them.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
