Taking Breaks? Good or bad?

Hey Guys,

I work two jobs and also blog for a local publication, so that leaves little free time. That said I still have managed to complete all of the MGMAT books and I'm working my way through to the end of the OG guide right now. I've taken 4 practice tests -- 2 gmatprep, and 2 mgmat. I hope to take a few more mgmat tests, as my score is not where I would like it to be.

Is it okay to take light days studying? Say, 30 minutes tops? Or to take the day off entirely? Some days my brain is just fried and I find myself staring at the page. Yet, I feel guilty just taking a step back and closing the books for the night.

Please help.

Vinnie

To get the most of your study time, try to study only when you know you are getting it. For example, after a long day's work, it is quite normal that you don't feel like going through odd looking RC passages. However, that time may just be suitable for quickly going over a couple quant problems and refresh your memory. If you are a morning person, try to read the stuff which is hardest for you in the morning. Even if you can devote an hour during your best time of the day, it will be worthwhile.

As you have talked about taking breaks, it is absolutely necessary. If you keep pushing your brain without giving it time to relax and grasp everything, it may fail or revolt. This is particularly important when you are close to the Test date. You must taper off your study schedule during the last week of your preparation and let your brain rest a little bit and prepare for the ultimate battle.
