When one is studying for the GMAT how much of the process would you allocate to being able to understand the question types and knowing the format of the test vs. practicing? In case I'm unlcear, here's an example:
I was supposed to take the GMAT in October, but decided to take a new job. I studied for about 3 months and felt I was fairly comfortable with everything and should have done fairly well.
I'm starting to study again, and have 3 months before I will take the real GMAT. Normally part of your study process would to familiarize yourself with the questions and format of the test. How long would you say an average person spends on this over their total course of study?
I ask because I'm wondering if some who says they studied for 3 months did maybe 3 weeks of "learning" the test, then the rest of the time practicing.
I just want to gauge how my actual study time stacks up against people with high scores and what not.
