The Man and the Plan

There are 42 days to my GMAT. Below is the Plan for these 43 days.

Day 0 - Will take Manhattan GMAT to analyze again where I lack, which all areas I need to focus on, what areas I can skip for the time being. I would do this because I want to begin with a clean slate this time around. Also MGMAT prep exam gives you a very detailed analysis of where you are and what you lack - something that is missing from the GMAT Prep Software.

Day 1 to Day 8 -

Will focus on Nova's GMAT which contain almost every topic asked in GMAT. This will also help me revise concepts learned earlier. Along with this I plan to complete more questions on topics I encounter from books like Tata Mc Graw Hill, Quantitative Manhattan Word Translations and Cliff's GMAT.

Day 9 - Day 16 -

Will focus on Verbal only with Manhattan Sentence Correction, CR and RC.

Day 17 - Day 24 -

Will focus on revising the concepts learned plus finishing the loads of material I have with me. Priority being - Kaplan 800, Plus material on CR, RC, SC. Also I have Princeton Review Verbal Workbook, I ll try and solve the problems given in that as well but as of now that is not a priority.

Day 25 - Day 32

This will be a few mock exams and loads of analysis.

Begaining with GMAT Prep 1 and 2 then Master GMAT 3,4,5 (I have already paid for these:( ) and maybe one or two from either MGMAT or Kaplan, or maybe not - One Exam in two days along with thoroughly analyzing my mistakes and working on those. This was something I didnt do in my previous attempt in my rush to complete as many questions as I can. Something, I can now strongly advise against.

Day 33 - Day 34

Those are for AWA's exclusively

Day 35 - Day 40

OG - yes Again, Giving GMAT Prep 2. Then Giving GMAT Prep 1 and 2 again. And maybe once more.

Day 41-

Umm. Nothing. Will revise concepts, read my notes for the nth time. Solve a few DS and SC problems. Watch a movie. Sleep Early.

Day 44 -

G Day
The exam is at 5pm. So will solve a few problems just to get in shape and will be craming essay structures till the end.

Now I am hard pressed for time. So I ll be logging in between 6-8 hours everyday. No more no less. Plus of course the blog entry

After every two hours there will be a 30 mins to 1 hour break.

Also unlike last time, I will not study late night, quite to the contrary, I ll be studying in the mornings and throughout the day. Nights are for sleeping and that is what they would be used for.

Wish me luck.
