Hi,
I am trying to juggle work and studying for GMAT. Currently I study for about an hour in the morning and about 1-1.5 hrs in the evening time and energy permitting. I have my GMAT scheduled for 27 Aug. Any recommendations on best possible schedule or stories to share??

Hello!
I wrote about working and studying at the same time in this post which you might find helpful-

Also, have you taken a practice test yet? What's your target score? What are you using to prepare?

Cheers

Dan,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, i have taken a practice test and my score was 540. There is a big difference between where I am and my target. My target is 700+. I am using OG 12, Verbal review & Manhattan GMAT verbal review . I am almost through with the quant in the OG.
I still have exactly 6 weeks, 27 August. In two weeks time I should be done with SC & CR in OG and then would move on to verbal review. Meanwhile I plan to read the MGMT verbal review so that I can refresh my verbal concepts before I start with verbal review.
Any suggestions on a good book for Quant??
Thanks
J

Manhattan GMAT has good quant books too. Also, a week and a half before the actual test you should take a GMAT prep test to see where you're at. If you don't get the score you want you should consider moving your test date back.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
