How long is the average time to study for the GMAT in order to get a 700+ score? I've heard studying for about 2 hrs a day for 2 months is good. Also, if I haven't taken any math since 4 years ago and i've serverly forgotten alot of the basic principles in algebra etc.

On-screen instructions told me I had 30 minutes for two essay questions. The first asked me to point out weaknesses in a case study. I finished with 19 minutes still ticking away in the corner of my screen. So much time for the second question!

You should allow about two months for prep, and ideally you will not be distracted by essays and other aspects of the process during that time. All in all, two to three months is a fair amount of time to budget for the GMAT, when you consider study, first attempt, and then possible restudy and retake.

My advice: give away to a friend any calculator you own, and force yourself to do basic arithmetic in your head every single day, multiple times a day, until you take the GMAT. Calculate your grocery total, to the nearest dime, in your head as you shop. Find occasions to do math — 17 x 6, 117/3 —- in your head.

You'll also need the best materials, so I'll cover that, too. To get an idea of what you're in for, I'd suggest reading other students' plans/success stories, which you can do here: GMAT Study Plans – How to Get a 700+ on the GMAT. This is also a good place to find a study schedule: GMAT Study Schedule.

Studying for long periods of time is not effective preparation for the GMAT. Rather, pace yourself. Give yourself a good three months to prepare for the test, working about two hours a day. Mix up your study sessions so that you work a bit on verbal and a bit on quantitative topics. Do a group of problems (say, twenty minutes worth) and spend the next forty minutes reviewing your work.

It’s also very important to understand how the GMAT uses math diagrams. You should buy the GMAT Official Guide; in this guide is a 30-page section called the “Math Review” — this lists, in relative condensed form, every math concept you need to study.

Number of Hours of GMAT Study Time. Interestingly, despite the moderate number of weeks the average person studies for the GMAT, he/she squeezes a bunch of study hours into those weeks! In fact, as you can see below, 44% of GMAT test-takers study more than 50 hours with 20% putting in 101 hours or more. Now, do more study hours necessarily translate into a higher GMAT score? The bar graph below suggests that “yes,” there is a positive correlation between study hours and GMAT score.

Twelve questions, 30 minutes. I had been told by GMAC that pacing should be my top priority, so I tried to tick through a question every two minutes. A few questions required careful reading, but none were terrible. I even found the sorting required for the table-analysis section quite satisfying.
