Staying Fresh on concepts.

[MWW7786]

Hey Kim,

I finished the Veritas book, and went back to complete the Challenge questions on GMATclub. I have been taking MGMAT quizes as well.


I concur on your advice. What do you think the best way to stay fresh on the Challenges concepts are?

FYI. . .I've been through PR course, OG 11, Kaplan 800, MGMAT books, Veritas. Do you have any trouble keeping fresh on concepts?


I really appreciate your experience.

Hi, I'm not quite sure if you are replying in response to another post that someone made elsewhere?

Generally speaking, it is best to treat your GMAT prep as a course of study, as though you are taking a college-level class in school. Only spread it out over 3-4 months total -- longer than that and you will forget things.

Also, it's best to study every day or almost every day during that timeframe, making sure to do a regular rotation of different question types and concepts (with emphasis on your particular strengths and weaknesses).

Be careful about focusing on quantity of prep - the quality of your prep is what matters most, and quality prep will, by definition, allow you to retain the things you are learning.

Hey All,

What advice?

I'm in Florida, and did not have access to an MGMAT class. Therefore, I've been reviewing the challenge questions from the GMAT club that were very useful, but only after my theory review inclusive in all your books and PR Intro, Kaplan 800, Veritas. The information I found here was critical, thanks.

My question, do you all have students who have taken all the challenges on GMATCLUB, and are asking for 600/700-800 practice. Andrew has been great as always. he indicated a few months ago that he maybe encouraging some of this students back then to study the GMAT Club Challenges in addition to their other review.

My scores have gone up since then, but I'm looking ahead to what will be next.

I'm not aware of GMATClub or its problems - I can't speak about the quality of their materials or anything like that.

We have our own set of challenge problems - are you sure Andrew wasn't talking about our own problems? It seems odd that he would refer you to a different site when we have our own. Or maybe you have already done all of ours?
