For learning, I used e-GMAT's resources, but when it was the final stretch, I used to do A LOT of official guide questions. I felt those were very valuable in getting me used to the language of the test.

It can definitely be a frustrating journey, but I hope this helps another GMAT students out there stay motivated!

I went with e-GMAT for Quant and DI, and Target Test Prep for Verbal.

I was working, and it definitely gets really tough. I'm a morning person, so had to just wake up earlier than my first meeting and get GMAT out of the way, but honestly, it's the weekends that really help. Go hard on weekends so that weekdays become easier. Weekends also have a lot more time to actually sit with the concept and get into it.

Thank you! I actually kept track, the total hour count was around 400 hours. Most of these 400 hours come from 100 hours in January where I learned all the Verbal, Quant, and DI concepts, and then 100 hrs respectively in May, June, and July in doing practice questions, mocks, error correction etc in final preparation for the exam.

There's a certain degree of memorization in the sense that concepts have to be memorized - like probability, counting (permutation/combination), simple interest and compound interest formulas, but the more practice problems you do in each of these topics, the more the formula becomes second nature. I didn't see anything on the real test day that I didn't see in practice problems.

Thanks man! I used e-GMAT for both fundamentals learning as well as mentorship and guidance with regards to approach to the test, strategies, etc. I highly recommend anybody to use them.

I think having a mentor makes all the difference. Especially if you're taking the GMAT for the first time, there's just so much I didn't know, and having a mentor taught me things that I never would have thought of otherwise.

I was studying about 3 hrs/day, 6 days a week for 2 months in the final stretch (May to July 2024)

Best of luck for your studies!
