It is not necessarily the hours in the day, but more the quality. That said, in order to cover the material, you likely need to spend at least 1.5 hours a day. You may want to consider some professional help as you are trying to make a big move from the 46th percentile to the 77th...

Hi ozlemmetje,

You shouldn't expect to study every day, as it's not healthy to do so. As a general rule, I recommend a study plan based around 10-15 hours per week, under the additional rule that the studying be done in "small chunks" (the exception - full length CATs).

Unfortunately, volume of study doesn't necessarily lead to high scores. You still need to be sure that you're learning the proper tactics and improving over the course of your studies. A GMAT Course can help you to learn the right tactics and teach you all manner of inside information about the GMAT that you wouldn't necessarily learn from self-study.
