what to do if i take 2 weeks off of studying

by hutch27 » Sun Feb 24, 2013 9:03 am
Hi, i have midterms spread apart for the next two weeks and I don't want to really focus all of my effort, like i've been doing recently, towards the GMAT. So i'd like to take some time off, probably around 2 weeks so I can finish some of the midterm work. I am using the 60 day study guide and I just started day 13 and did O.K. on the math topics so far, but am worried that If i take these 2 weeks off and jump back into the math I might get rusty on what I learned so far. Do you think that will be the case? Do you suggest I do some light gmat work during the time? Do you think I should just not worry and try to keep up with the 60-day study guide & midterms? Any advice on what to do and suggestions on how to keep from staying rusty would be appreciated!

I don't think 2 weeks off from your GMAT prep will set you back very far (if at all).
As you can see from the outline of all 60 days (https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/gmat-guide-outline), the last 17 days are devoted to taking practice tests and strengthening weaknesses. So, at that point, if you've forgotten some of the math content, you can brush up on it then.

Cheers,
Brent
