Hey, this has been one of the most insightful videos that I have ever across, I am getting started with gmat preparation, and I feel like the resources that you have shared with us should be more than enough to deal with the practice and theoretical part of the preparation, but the thing that would still trouble us is the lack of the availability of decent mocks, If it is okay with you could you please share a list of decent mocks as well that might cost us zero to minimal amount of money, and even if you don’t it’s probably alright, because what you have provided is immense. Thank you.
Hey, I wanted to ask if this study plan is okay? I unfortunately did buy 2 of the Manhattan prep books, so I'm going to finish them, but I made some changes to my plan. 1. Complete Manhattan prep books (if you have) 2. Complete GMAT Ninja Videos 3. Find topics you are weak at and do quizzes at GMAT club website using navigator as well as watch videos of the topics you are weak at 4. Keep doing till you are good at them, while also constantly revising previous topics 5. Finish, and then move onto next section
First of all, the Manhattan books can still be of great use if you are new to the GMAT concepts. I would recommend first watching the GMAT ninja videos and then do skim through the Manhattan books to see whether there are any concepts that might be useful. If you do notice that the GMAT ninja videos are really too tough to understand, doing the full manhattan books first could be helpful. For the last point, what do you mean with moving on to the next section? Always try to keep your level the same for every section and subsection. There is no point in doing mock tests if you are 655+ in one section and 555- in another section because the test algorithm won't know what question level to give you. My advice: always make sure you are studying the specific subsection you are performing the worst at. I can imagine that is also exactly what you meant. In that case you can ignore that part haha. Anyways, seems like you're well prepared to start your GMAT studies, good luck!
@@EuroStudyPro Thank you so much for the reply Yeah by next section I meant Quantitative -- Verbal -- Data Insights one at a time Is this approach okay? Or should I do all 3 together each day?
Hi again, thanks again for replying to my comment earlier I have been studying for a while now and I have 1 month left, I was hoping to ask some advice regarding what I can do. Should I give 1 mock test every 4 days while constantly working on each section for 10 days division respectively? How should I approach this? Additionally, I have a good grasp of quant, but barely no practice of verbal or DI
Yes definitely, I made the video with that idea in mind. There's only a limited number of difference between the traditional Gmat and the GmatFocus. The link to the gmatclub question bank has also been updated to only include GmatFocus questions although most subsections are identical
Absolutely loved the content! However going through each question available on the gmat club even after filtering out on the difficulty level is alot!! What would yo suggest? Should one go through the entire question set of a particular difficulty level or?
I wouldn't recommend literally doing every question on GMAT club. Instead, you want to aim for 30-60 questions/day (depending on how long you study and what you're studying exactly). How much you want to use the filters also depends on the study phase you're in. In the beginning you mind find that doing random exercises from an easy difficulty level help you find your weaknesses. Once you know those weaknesses, you can start using the specific filters to zoom in on areas that specifically require improvement before you move onto higher difficulty levels.
I would recommend looking at the online course providers (eg magoosh or eGmat). Sometimes they offer a free mock test without having to purchase any of the courses
The short answer is on average 100 hours for a score that is better than a 60th percentile and on average 120 hours for a 90th percentile score (i.e. 655+). But it obviously depends on your personal history with generalized tests, your familiarity with the theory, and how effectively your study.

hey, Im not able to find the gmat club navigator as you mentioned. Can you please elaborate a little more. Thanks
Hey, thankyou for the video!
Is this video beneficial for someone who would want to take a GMAT focus edition test?
Yes definitely, I made the video with that idea in mind. There's only a limited number of difference between the traditional Gmat and the GmatFocus. The link to the gmatclub question bank has also been updated to only include GmatFocus questions although most subsections are identical
utilissimo Tom!

Where can I find additional mock tests?

Very informative! How many hours do you think are sufficient for a score above 645 or 700(old scale)?
The short answer is on average 100 hours for a score that is better than a 60th percentile and on average 120 hours for a 90th percentile score (i.e. 655+).

I am not able to find the same GMAT navigator as you showed here. Is there anything that has changed in the last 4 months?
Even I'm facing the same issue
I am sorry for the late response, I will look into it.
How much did u score in the gmat?
I took my GMAT in 2023 and scored a 760 on the first try.
Can you share the GMAT focus edition PDF ?
What do you mean exactly?
I want book document pdf
Can u share the GMAT Navigator Link?
You can find the Navigator Link in the Articles that I put the link to in the description!
What a good looking young gentleman
Just a suggestion, don't keep the background music that is so distracting and loud.. either remove bgm or keep something that draws less attention
Thanks, will take that into account next time!
Thanks
