Starting to Study

by esbaker3 » Tue Nov 06, 2012 10:01 am
I just started doing the 60 day study guide- but to be honest I find spending 3 hrs a day on the GMAT a little challenging. I am also not sure what videos or exercises I should buy. I guess I am just a little confused about what the best investments are- other than the Official Guides. Ideally I would like to be sending a few hours a day 4-5 days a week on the GMAT and not spend hundreds of dollars on videos or tutorials that are not useful or are just going to tell me something very obvious. I feel like the areas that I need to work on the most in are the Math sections.

Would switching to the 3 month study guide be a better idea in terms of time commitment? Is spending $25 a video on GMAT Prep (or other websites) worth the money? I am starting to just be a little overwhelmed and confused by all the choices out there.

If you have any honest advice for me, that would be very helpful.
Thanks!

The daily activities in the 60-Day Study need not be completed in 60 days. If you don't have much time to study, you can spend 2 or more days completing the learning activities for each day.

As far as costs go, both the GMAT Prep Now video course and the MGMAT booklets are priced under $150. This is considerably less than you'll spend on most other programs.

Cheers,

I should point out that the GMAT Prep Now videos aren't priced at $25 per video. The cost is $139 for over 500 videos.

Thanks Brent. I guess I was looking at the individual videos, and didn't see the package for all the videos.
