If you've got just one month to prep for the GMAT, you're probably freaking out a bit, right? I totally was! Here’s how I turned that panic into a solid study plan that worked.
First off, I set a clear goal. I aimed for a 700+ score based on what I thought my target schools wanted. Then, I broke down my study schedule:
- Week 1: Focus on the basics. I tackled Quant and Verbal fundamentals using the official GMAT guide.
- Week 2: Dive into practice tests. I used the Manhattan Prep practice tests to gauge my performance.
- Week 3: Identify weaknesses. I spent more time on the sections I struggled with most.
- Week 4: Review and finalize. I took one last practice test and focused on timing and stamina.
In the evenings, I kept it light—watching GMAT YouTube channels for tips. Staying relaxed but focused was key. Plus, I entered my practice scores in a spreadsheet, so I could see my progress.
Hope this helps! Good luck to anyone else cramming for the GMAT!
