    Completely agreed on needing to focus on your weaknesses. I have my students work through an error log, either through a spreadsheet or an app like 21st Night. I find that helps a ton with keeping them focused and on top of what they need to study.

    There's a good case to make that one should put as much time into GMAT prep as they would spend on a one-semester college class, i.e. 8-10 hours per week for 15 weeks, or the equivalent thereof (120 - 150 hours)...

    • @SmitaK

      Start with official guide. Once you fo through the entire book. Give a mock Gmat. Based on the score you can decide how much more effort you need to dedicate. Try to use most of your free time towards preparation

  • @shreyjogani9984
    @shreyjogani9984 4 года назад

    How should I gain concepts. For instance you suggested and strongly emphasized buying gmat official guide firstly . Does that imply that a student will gain all the basic concepts from those three books GMAC offers. Followed to that stimulus I was keen about asking how did you acquire all concepts at very initial stage of preparing.

    • @SmitaK
      @SmitaK  4 года назад

      get Manhattan RC guide that helps in getting the basic right and some practice as well.
      Identify which kind of passages are tough for you: cultural or scientific. Allot practice time accordingly. Identify the type of questions you are getting wrong. Most important skim through the passage don't read it in the first go. After reading the question go back to specific area of the passage. This helps a lot in saving time.

    2. For RC and SC did you use only the manhattan RC and SC books? Any online course for them?
    3. What online courses would you suggest?
    One of my friend suggested me Target Test Prep for GMAT quant, do you have any idea about it?

    Amazing video...I gave gmat last year and scored 600 Q-43 V-29. My biggest problem is speed. Although I gave many practise tests last year but on the actual gmat I suffered due to speed. I plan to give gmat again this year in mid-october 2019. Any tips regarding that would be helpful. Also my quant is not that good. I fumble in tough questions though I had practiced a lot but still I think practicing is not helping me. I have a hectic job but I can take out 2-3 hours per day to study for the next 55 days. I plan to give my first mock 10 days from now as I started my prep at the beginning of August and I am almost done with OG.

      Hi please try these:
      > Time bound Practice (not just on test but on every question). Gmat club have timers on most of their questions. gmatclub.com/forum/the-key-to-japan-s-worldwide-commercial-success-is-not-so-much-governm-301765.html
      > Study much more 5-7 hours/day will be required.
      More clear concept you have and more practice you will get. your confidence will continue to grow. Later on the fumbling will reduce. You can check out my video on how I managed my studies with job: ruclips.net/video/9ZFH2kCb65c/видео.html
      > Find out your weak areas and continuously revise the concept and practice its questions
      > Try saving time on the areas you are strong in. for example I was very strong in CR questions. Others take a lot of time in it and I used to save much time during that which I used for RC.
      > Follow the cycle of study concepts-> practice questions-> give test -> analyze your mistakes ... begin all over again

    Can you please make a video or write a blog post shedding light on
    1. What and how to learn from each question
    2. Maintain error logs
    Secondly, is 3000 verbal questions practice is good enough?
