Most people succeed in life because of careful planning. These individuals write a plan for future success, post the plan in plain sight, and follow the plan on a daily basis. As a result, I have created a ten week GMAT /GRE study program for those who need a study plan. In order to prove that I believe in this plan, I will be sharing my observations as I use this GMAT/GRE study guide to prepare for the GMAT in late 2009.
You will notice that Day 1 of Week 1 of the GMAT/GRE study guide requires you to complete the EZ Solutions – Test Prep Series – Math Practice – Basic Workbook – GMAT® Chapter 1 problems and Barron’s GMAT® Sentence Correction problems in its Diagnostic Test. Do not be alarmed because you will not be required to do many problems on Day 1. Remember, a house needs a strong foundation before it can hold the weight of what will become a completed house. Week 1 will focus on uncovering your problem areas, so think of Week 1 as a refresher. On Day 1, you will complete EZ Solutions’ Chapter 1 problems that test your ability to understand Arithmetic questions. Also you will need to complete Barron’s Sentence Correction questions. I know that Barron’s did not list the Sentence Correction problems in order, within the Diagnostic Test, but by the end of week you will understand my GMAT/GRE study guide. The subsequent weeks will guide you through study sessions that will help you to build confidence in your ability to learn this material by completing practice exercises and by reviewing English grammar!
Do not get discouraged if you cannot solve all of the Quantitative and Verbal questions on Day 1 or by Week 3. In general, studying for the GMAT/GRE requires a considerable amount of time. Take your time to build your whole house. You will begin to build your GMAT/GRE foundation in Week 1. By Week 8, do not be surprised if you are able to place the chimney on the roof. Focus on maintaining a positive attitude throughout your GMAT/GRE journey. Your attitude can make or break you. It is easy to develop bad study habits when you lose sight of your goal. You might even be tempted not to take the GMAT or GRE. Neither test is designed to be easy; however, you usually are required to take the GMAT or GRE if you plan to apply to graduate business school, especially the elite b-schools throughout the United States and in other countries. You did not come this far to give up. Your GMAT/GRE goals can be achieved by following a well developed plan for success. I believe I have created a great study plan for those who plan to take the GMAT/GRE. Do not feel that you are alone. I am also studying for the GMAT/GRE. In ten weeks, we can build our homes together. This is just an introduction to my GMAT/GRE study guide. In future articles, I will further explain how I use the GMAT/GRE study guides to maximize my study time.
