Not finished the guide, but getting there!!!

by Kemmy G » Tue Aug 02, 2011 7:04 am
Hi Brent!
Thanks for the upbeat and encouraging quotes that accompany every daily study guide. I wish I could tell you that I had completed the 60 day guide. Unfortunately I have not. I've fallen behind. I was ill with malaria for 2 weeks (I live in Nigeria so it's not such a big deal) and only just getting back to work. In addition, personal and career hassles further delayed me and the guides just seemed to pile up! Nevertheless, I am determined to finish it, come hell or high water and will let you know how the GMAT test went. Even though I've fallen behind, I can definitely tell you that without the study guide, I'd still be chasing my tail. It took me about a month to before the guides came out to study and understand geometry and coordinate geometry (where were you guys in February???). Anyway, just thought to let you know, and I'm really very grateful for the guides. I feel much more confident in quant because of it.
Keep up the great work, and I'll let you know when I complete the remaining days.
P.S- I have to note here that many of the subjects that you guys marked for a day's studying took me sometimes a week to read, practice and understand. I guess this is because I'd never encountered them before- I discovered the GMAT in December and started studying for it this year. This leads me to believe that the study guides are ideally suited to those who have studied for the GMAT before, but simply need to brush up on their skills. Still a great help, and thanks once again.

Hi Kemmy,

Thanks for the feedback.

I wouldn't worry about not completing the Guide in 60 days. I have a feeling that most people have various interruptions in their lives that prevent them from completing every activity each day.

Then again, I'm not sure it would be fair to classify malaria as an "interruption" . . . :-)
That sounds pretty serious - I hope you're feeling better, and I look forward to hearing that you reached your target score on test day!

Cheers,
Brent
