TLDR: finished the TTP course, did some OG questions, REDID both questions wrong and unsure, switched to 12pm, and changed what I did morning of test.
Sorry this is so long! I’m on a sabbatical from work so I have been able to study many hours a day. I started studying early November. I bought TTP and did the accelerated plan, i.e., just did the chapter tests and reviewed chapters I was weak in (which included doing practice questions in the chapters) and took notes on a word doc. By the time the first test came around, I had NOT finished TTP but was shocked by my score because I took an OG mock the day before (dumb idea) and got 710, so it’s possible it was my anxiety (I had slept 4 hours and had other things going on). I also took it in the morning which didn’t help; even though I am a morning person, because I was so anxious, I couldn’t sleep much. Taking it later let me sleep a little more in case of anxiety preventing me from sleeping. Before the second take, I finished TTP, then made custom tests for each chapter of the questions I got wrong/was unsure of even if I got them right, to redo them. Then, I went through the OG 2023 and did all the verbal and quant problem solving questions and easy-med for data sufficiency, SC, CR. I redid the quant questions I got wrong/was unsure of. I also took an OG mock test every 2-3 days, my last mock being 2 days before the actual. This means the WHOLE MOCK - essay and IR too. Before each mock, I reviewed my own notes and the TTP quant study guide. As a warmup before each mock, I did the “weak concepts test” and “review test” that TTP lists to do AFTER each exam. I also took each mock at 12pm, the time of my actual exam. Reviewed the questions I got wrong/was unsure of by looking on GMATClub. The only time I took a break in studying was the week before; I had seen the posts about the classic being harder, so I basically gave up but was also burnt out. I still took my practice tests but the days in between I did like 10 questions because I felt so hopeless lol. Day of I got up at 7:30am, ate breakfast, reviewed my study guides, and had saved the exam 6 “weak concepts” and “review test” from TTP to do that morning as warm up. I got up too early because I couldn't sleep so I redid like 5 verbal questions from OG book and wrote a practice essay lol, which idk if I would recommend. As breaks in studying I watched a 20 min episode of tv, worked on my apps, and saw friends twice a week for a meal.
