Is the Manhattan problems recommended for non-prepswift users?

GRE GRE General
1

Hi, I recently started practicing gregmat seriously perhaps 4 weeks & on day 4 thus far. Regrettable, some part of this is due to only spending some 10 hours of focus time per week due to ongoing issues I am dealing with outside of studying (I can do 30 hours per week when I am at my best & I am actively addressing said issues).

My question isn’t in regards to my consistency/performance, but the Manhattan problems recommended for prepswift users. I don’t currently own prepswift, but have manhattan material & thought working on these would give me more exposure. I want to get as much practice as I can & did all the problems listed up to day 4 & all the greg mat filter problems. But I am worried if this is optimal in terms of day-by-day planning on the checklist. I find if I do all the manhattan problems & gregmat filter problems, I have to spend some additional 3-5 days to accomplish them all. Added some of my work to show just how expansive it can get.

So to ask; is it a good idea for non-prepswift users to do these problems even if it extends the day-by-day plan that is listed? I have a lot of time to address this exam, but of course, I would like to use that time as optimally as possible, and if doing these problems impedes that because I am not moving along quick enough day-by-day, I would like to know.

Let me know & thanks for those who read & addressed the question

First off, that’s an impressive notes/work you have there.

Hopefully, it’s helping immensely with your memorization/retention and recall of concepts

Now, to your question(s),

It is a very good idea to do what you’re doing.

Remember that the day-to-day tasks are not strictly meant to be completed by that schedule.

They serve as guidelines and can take different people different timelines to go through them so you’re doing nothing wrong.

And like you correctly noted, doing as much practice/having as much exposure as possible is always good.

Besides, the overall point is to memorize and build the skills needed to ace the exam and that can mean different timeframes for different people.

One very important point to note: be sure to leave at least a month for official ETS mocks/questions.

You need to transition to ETS questions so you get as much exposure as possible to those too before test day.

During this time, DEEPLY ANSLYSE, DISSECT, solve, etc ETS questions- I cannot stress this point enough.

Good luck.
