When Test Day is 3 months away, there is a danger of procrastinating. It can be hard to get into a GMAT study routine, especially if you’ve been out of school for a while. And 3 months feels like a long time! However, the days and weeks will slip by faster than seems possible, and before you know it, the test will be a week or two away. Don’t let Test Day take you by surprise. Take a look at your overall schedule for the next three months. Are there going to be certain busy periods at work? Will you have other school, family, or personal commitments in that timeframe? Plan your overall schedule accordingly. Studying most days of the week will improve your score far more than trying to cram all of your study into one or two days a week. Your brain can learn only so many new things each day. Plan to study 5 or 6 days a week, for between 30 minutes and 3 hours a day (depending on the day). Do give yourself 1 or 2 GMAT-free days every week; your brain needs a break. Also, consider using a GMAT mobile app to give you flexibility and convenience to improve in short increments of 5 to 15 minutes throughout the day.
