Amount of study time

by jmuduke08 Sun Jun 17, 2012 2:36 pm

I recently took a practice test that incorporated the IR section. This was my first time ever attempting IR problems. Up until this point, I had reviewed the MGMAT IR book and one of the IR presentations. However, I did abysmal on the actual prep and was wondering what my next steps should be on preparing for this. I am planning on taking my exam in early August. Should I start trying to do more IR problems or just roll the dice come test time?

if you are not scoring where you'd like on IR, you probably need to take some more practice sections, and if you still score too low see if you can figure out why. you can post some questions in this forum if you have some questions you can't figure out..

unfortunately no one knows at this point - not even the GMAT, because not enough students have taken the test for them to establish percentiles..

That's a very subjective question. I think as an instructor I would be very out of line if I declared that something is a "good score", because that would imply that some scores are "bad" and would probably be insulting to some students. :)
