Day 3

A new GMAT attempt means a fresh way of learning - ie... new books ... my set of 8 Manhattan Prep Strategy guides arrived in the mail yesterday evening and I started on Strategy Guide #1 this morning (Covers Number Properties).

Only got an hour done, however, also spent some time outlining my general approach - afterall, its not about quantity of studying, its about quality. Here's my rough outline of approach in the coming 3 weeks - readers, please feel free to critique!

1) Get really uncomfortable - ie - do not go over what I already know. I plan on reviewing all 5 MGMAT Quant Strategy guides in the next 5 weeks. Yes, going through all the sections, but the purpose is to skim over areas I am comfortable with and spend more time on the harder areas - especially MGMAT's Advanced Strategy section, where I find approaches rather challenging - and therefore, a great area to learn from.

2) Goal is to finish all 5 MGMAT Quant book theory review and problem sets by Oct 9. Perhaps a little ambitious with a full time job? I'll see how it goes and adjust accordingly.

3) Once I'm done the 5 MGMAT books, I'm going to go back to Strategy Guide #1 and do the associated questions from OG 12 and QR books that the MGMAT outlines. This will help reinforce the theory I went over in these books.

4) While I'm reviewing math before and after work, I plan on squeezing in 15-20 min of reading of the Economist and the Scientific American online magazines during work breaks, and also completing 1 Reading Comprehension passage, and 2 CR questions each on Sat and Sun. This will help keep my verbal learnings alive while I focus on math.
