The Three Hundred-Hour Game Plan
Hey, no one ever said life was easy. The things that are worth working towards
always have the biggest rewards and getting into a top-notch business school
is definitely one of them. This is a very-intense, comprehensive plan that
will prepare you extremely well for the test. However, it should not be attempted
if you have less than two or three months before the test. Don't get too down
on yourself if you can't get through all of it. Very few people do and you
will be amazed at how much you learn by simply trying to get through all of
it.
Motivation is the key to success with this Game Plan. Before you start, ask
yourself whether you are prepared to study alone, or whether you are interested
in seeking some professional assistance. Prep courses can be valuable resources
of test taking and study techniques and tips. Read "Should You Take a
Prep Class?" for more information about the pros and cons of GMAT classes.
Taking a prep course is optional, but it can have a fundamental impact on your
GMAT Game Plan.
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!
