Studying longer doesn’t always mean scoring higher—what really matters is how you use your time. On average, 10 to 12 weeks is enough for most GMAT takers, but only if you follow a focused, layered plan.
Instead of counting hours, break your prep into clear milestones: finish core topics, move to timed sets, and then transition to full-length mocks. Each stage should have its own goal—not just scores, but clarity and control over question types.
One underrated tip that many don't know about is start with untimed practice. In the first 3–4 weeks, don’t worry about speed. Focus on solving 10–15 questions per topic, understand every option—why it’s right or wrong—and get your accuracy up. Speed should only come after that.
From Week 3 onward, start doing one full mock every 10 days. Review it deeply—not just the score, but how you managed pacing and which question types hurt your timing.
This approach—accuracy first, speed second—is what helps people break out of the 600s and move into the 650–700 range. Quality practice > quantity, always.
