    I only did 2 practice books for integrated reasoning. And got 720. It really depends on what one’s strength or weakness is. For me math was like middle school level difficulty but reasoning was tricky so I used LSAT questions to prep which made GMAT questions appear so much easier.

    What im doing for the gmat is follow a 8 week study plan, and since I'm just like you (I'm not able to fully concentrate to study after work) I decided to change my routine. So I study from 6am to 9am every week day, which makes a looooot more sense to me. I can learn much better at time time. I feel that these 3h in the morning are better than 5h I'd get in the end of the day. On the weekends I study 5h or 6h a day.
    And to add on that I took 10 vacation days leading up to my gmat date, so I can focus to study full-time. Wish me luck, my exam date is 21/10/2020 📚🤓
    By the way, I'll be applying to schools in Germany (ESMT, hhl and WHU), so I'm aiming 650 on the gmat 😊

      Good point, I think it has to do with long term and short term memory thing? Also for me, it's hard to study more than 6 or 7 hours a day. Even under 6-7 hours I still have problem recalling what I study. But I guess every person is different or it could be the learning technique that's different.

    • @FirmLearning
      @FirmLearning  3 года назад +13

      Hi, indeed pretty special :) Have the impression that the schools try to on purpose admit some people with low GMATs just to prove the point that a high GMAT is not absolutely required. You can trust that these will just be absolute outliers, the vast majority of the class will have a high score. He will for sure have a special profile (maybe sports olympian, high in military etc.) that compensated for the low GMAT. Best! Heinrich

    Thank you for your video! I’m taking my gmat test in a week. I studied all the Manhattan strategy books and did exercises from the OG books. My first mock was around 600. Here are my questions:
    - What would you suggest to do for the next 7 days?
    - Should I buy the economist gmat tutor? Did you use it?
    - How can I understand which ones are my weaknesses I should focus on?
    Every tutor say that it’s impossible to increase +100 in a week, but you made it! So I hope I can get some better insights :) thank you!

    • @FirmLearning
      @FirmLearning  4 года назад +7

      Hi Giada,
      Thanks for your comment!
      Would NOT buy the economist gmat tutor for only 7 days. It is not long enough to make best use of it. Also make sure to not do a mock exam in the 1-2 days before the exam to not stress you out and exhaust you too much.
      What mock test did you take, they usually come with an analysis in the end showing you in which area you performed well and not well? This can be a starting point for your weaknesses to further improve.
      Yes, very confident that you can improve by more than 100 in a week, though of course also depends on how much time you already invested.
      Lots of success to you!!
      Best, Heinrich

    Great video,... when I finished my undergrad (business admin) GMAT was a real issue (2013)... Today in 2020 (after an IT MSc.) I would strongly recommend: Instead of GMAT get yourself as much technical skills as possible (programming, database, IT security, basic IT understanding...) instead of doing GMAT & MBA. In the future companies need lesser and lesser people who "make powerpoints" but more managers (even on the business side) who understand tech in depth!. However if you do a GMAT follow this video, Heinrich does a great job!! Especially seeing the benefits in a GMAT is good. Especially important is: invest full time for GMAT... Doing it in the evenings is really really difficult... Cheers

      I thought a master in international finance would be good (requires gmat) or a masters in International Management and Economics, with specialization in data science.
      My mind is stuck on those 2 options because I also want to prepare for the future (data science).

    Hello, thanks for your advice, this really motivates me to continue with my study. I am studying with Magoosh and their classes are amazing, plus definitely more affordable compared to Kaplan, Manhattan or Princeton. I ordered the 3 official guides from GMAC and I am really happy to see it's actually worth the money as well as Kaplan Quant textbook. I wish I had more time to prepare so as to order the Manhattan book.
    Your video is quite informative.

    Firstly really helpful video, also have some queries as below,
    1.) I am weak in verbal, which book Or medium you suggest me to prepare it from basic to advanced level?
    2.) Right now I am building my GMAT concepts, Are Manhattan books are sufficient to build concept,make notes and read theory parts (For both Quant and Verbal from basic to advance) or I need to buy anything else?

    • @FirmLearning
      @FirmLearning  3 года назад +3

      Hi Shubham, thank you! Great to hear you find it helpful! Re 1) this will very much depend on how much time to have to prepare. Improving intrinsic English skills often helps, if you have enough time. Reading relevant magazines such as The Economist on a regular basis might help. Re 2), yes, personally I did find the Manhattan Strategy Series books very helpful to build the relevant knowledge! Best, Heinrich

    Thank you for the video, Heinrich. The honestly of your GMAT prep efforts is evident from this video. I'm in a somewhat similar situation here - I have about a month to prepare for my GMAT. I have started with the official guides, but then I realized that I needed a structured and guided approach, and hence I purchased the online course by e-GMAT. My question to you is this - will it be worth my time if buy the Manhattan prep advanced books to prep for harder questions? Will there not be information overload, given the fact that I have just about a month for preparation?

    • @FirmLearning
      @FirmLearning  4 года назад +2

      Hi Rajanya, thank you! Yes that sounds indeed like a challenging but absolutely realistic task. As I did not take the e-GMAT course, I do not know exactly what is covered in there and what the value add of additional material would be. In general, I did very much like the Manhattan material however and would always use it again if I would prepare for the GMAT. If you can afford it, I would therefore recommend to get it.
