It was designed so that you would exhaust most of the questions in the GMAC’s Official Guide for GMAT Review and most of the questions and videos in the Magoosh product. It also supposes you have six days/week and 3-5 hours a day, though it occasionally requires slightly more time.  \nI know it will be hard to stick to this GMAT schedule if you have a full-time job, children, or other family obligations. If either (or all) of these are the case, we’d suggest reconsidering your GMAT test date. Yes, it’s a little annoying to pay the $50 GMAT rescheduling fee–but it’s far better than taking the exam before you have time to fully prepare and needing to pay a $250-$300 GMAT fee for aretake.  \n• If possible, follow a three-month or six-month plan.  \nThough this plan will be time-consuming and require hard work, dedication, and focus to get through, I know you can do it.  \n• Make sure to give yourself at least one GMAT-free day a week to help you absorb what you’ve studied even better!  \n• Even though you are dedicating lots of time to GMAT prep this month, you must get 8+ hours of sleep every night since memory encoding takes place in REM sleep.  \nIn that last hour of an eight-hour session of sleep that we get the most REM. Getting an average of 8 hours of sleep vs. an average of 7 hours of sleep every night between now and the test could be as much as a 50 point GMAT score difference. And why not practice now, pre-business school? After the admissions process and once you’re in your MBA program, sleeping 8 hours will be a lot more difficult!  \n• Do you need to adapt this study schedule to meet your needs? Check out  this blog post for adjustment tips!  \n2  \nEssential Materials  \n1. The official GMAT website, [http://mba.com/](http://mba.com/) – register for an account on the site if you haven’t already.  \n2. Download the Official GMATPrep Software from GMAC.  \n3. GMAC’s The Official Guide for GMAT Review (OG)* – The newest edition is the OG2020. If you are going to buy a new guide, get that one.  \nIf you happen to own either the OG2019, OG2018, OG2017, or even the previous OG2016, then it would be no problem using either of those with this study guide.  \n3  \n* Don’t write in the textbooks. Do all your work on separate paper or on a computer. You will want to keep the textbooks clean, so that later, if you need to look at a problem again, it is still fresh and unmarked.  \n4. Magoosh GMAT – sign up for the Premium subscription  \n5. A journal (paper or on the computer)** – throughout this GMAT schedule, I will ask you to take notes. The actual act of writing or typing creates important links in your brain because you are using your hands. Even if you never have time to review what you have written, just the act of writing it will help you learn a little more deeply.  \n**Pro tip: At the beginning of your journal, write down why you are studying for the GMAT. Refer back to it when you’ve skipped movie night for the third time, when your kids have kept you up late, when you’re just plain tired and frustrated of math, or whenever you need a little extra encouragement!  \n6. Magoosh’s Complete GMAT Guide – This comprehensive web-based guide to the GMAT gives you the quick but useful overview you need to understand this test. You’ll see how the GMAT is designed and scored, what skills it tests, how to find and use the best GMAT prep, and how to study for each test section.  \n7.
