Utilizing the 60 Day Guide

[sbru28]

Was looking to see if anyone who has used or is using the study 60 day guide with the GMAT Prep Now videos could help out. I have been studying during week days around 2/3hrs every night after work as well as on the weekends.

Would it be best to do all the problems associated with each day before moving on to the next days lesson? Day 5 for example, I was able to get through the videos then only a few of the 46 Arithmetic questions in the OG in one night. I then moved on to day six the next day and wasnt able to complete all of those questions in one night. Currently, I'm on day nine and a little behind.

Have people found it more beneficial to complete all of the questions assigned to one subject area prior to moving on? Also, when completing questions in the OG, do people do them in timed sets then review? If practicing in sets should I split them up from PS and DS or just concentrate in one area at a time?

thanks for the help

I recommend that you complete all of problems for one day before moving on to the next day's activities. Sticking to one concept at time before moving on to the next concept will help promote mastery of each topic. It's also important to note that there are several math topics that build on previous math concepts, so it's a good idea to build a strong foundation before moving on.

Don't worry if all of this will set you back time-wise. Day 42 is the last day that you learn new content, and the remaining days are devoted to taking practice tests and working on weaknesses. So, you can always catch up then.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Brent
