Study Duration

3 months.

Yeah, 3 months is the duration of study you should target. This is considering you are currently working, spending about 8 hrs a day in office. 2 hours a day is good for a start (probably the first month), gradually stepping it up to 4 hrs over the months. Oh yeah I forgot to mention weekends a little over 5 hours should be good! (you’ll be giving mock tests on weekends).

Anything more than 3 months and you’ll find it a drag and might just lose interest. Remember….. Give your GMAT when YOU think you are ready. If you feel your date is too close, get it rescheduled. Maybe by a couple of weeks, not more!

Initially I had booked my GMAT on Aug 25th. By the first week of Aug, I felt I wasn’t ready and rescheduled to Sept 17th. That did make a difference!
