Hi! So desperate for your advice on how to proceed with my study plan for my final month pre test.
My test is a month away (Nov 29) and I really need advice on how to proceed with my studying. I started the I’m Overwhelmed plan about 3 weeks ago and I am currently halfway through Module 5 (for math). Vocab I am taking at my own pace, but am currently on group 8 (up to 240 words) as well. I study about 6-8 hours a day, and my studying is primarily going section by section through the math modules, doing the exercises and quizzes, and taking notes in a study guide. I also review quant mountain every other day or so and vocab mountain several times a day. Depending on the module, some I got through in 1 day vs some took me several days. My few practice tests before starting gregmat were ~ 156Q/160V. If I get to 160 quant and 165 V I’ll be happy!
With a month left to the exam, my question is whether I should continue with the I’m Overwhelmed (henceforth “IO” plan or switch over to the 1 month plan. I’ve found the IO plan extremely helpful in breaking down the very basics (I haven’t done math in ~8 years), but I also worry that at this rate, I won’t even get through it all in time which will leave me with important test material that I didn’t cover at all! Not to mention not leaving me any time for timed practice/practice tests, even if I do finish it in time. So I am torn between continuing with the IO plan, which from my understanding gives a more solid and thorough foundation (which I know is key – but how valuable is it if I don’t even get to all of the material), vs switching to the 1-month plan which would get me through all of the material but perhaps not at the same depth? Though I haven’t looked at it so I don’t know. I’m also not sure at which point to start incorporating practice tests and timed practice even if I am not through the gregmat plans.
Thank you so so much for any guidance you can offer. Gregmat is truly a lifesaver and I’m so grateful for your service!
