crunch time
Posted: August 6th, 2006 | Author: Jeff | Filed under: Uncategorized | 1 Comment »It’s time to get serious about studying (i’ve been very inconsistent for the last 6 weeks–pretty much all for naught) for the GMAT. I’ve got about 5 weeks left to study and it’s all about being focused on winning.
Here’s the game plan:
1. Except for the occasional “down time”, no more recreational activites (e.g., pickup games, TV, poker,–well, except for the home game on Wednesday–between now and when I take the GMAT).
2. No piano between now and the GMAT.
3. Exercise daily. (I’ve observed a direct positive correlation between exercising in the morning and how effectively I study).
4. 3-4 hours of ”effective” prep on weekdays and 6-8 hours on weekends. 2 Computer Adaptive Tests per week. (Wednesday and Sunday)
5. Document both my Exercise and studying on a daily basis in a spreadsheet file.
6. Go to sleep before midnight and wake up before 7am on weekdays. Wake up no later than 8:30am on weekends.
Good luck on the exam.
