The Fifty-Hour Game Plan
The Fifty-Hour Game Plan is our most popular Game Plan. Although you shouldn't
expect a huge increase in your score with this plan, you will be surprised
at how much difference studying for fifty hours can make. Don't expect to pull
this plan off in a week though. If you don't have at least a couple of weeks
before the Big Day, you'll want to stick with the Ten-Hour Game Plan and then
do things from this plan if you have additional time.
Before you proceed with your 50 hour game plan, consider whether taking a prep
course might start you off on the right foot. It is essential that you are
making the most of your hours of study by practicing good study habits. Read "Should
You Take a Prep Class?" for more information about the pros and cons of
GMAT classes. Taking a prep course can have a fundamental impact on your GMAT
Game Plan.
Also, make sure to read our Pre-Game Talk before starting the Game Plan. These
suggestions are critical in order to get the most out of the plan you have
chosen. Good luck with your studies and with your test!
