I am currently having the hardest time cracking the GMAT book right now. I feel like I get a bit dumber by the second doing practice problems and I am falling asleep doing them.
I had the same problem. The solution was setting up a detailed schedule of what sections need to be finished when, and then I started getting up really early and doing practice problems before work. I'd get up have coffee/breakfast, shower, and then work for 1.5-2 hours.
The best hours of my day are when I am sleeping.

Just curious what kind of improvement do you really see in your GMAT score if you study X hours?

I am curious too. I think after a certain point you get diminishing marginal results. I feel like justtaking the damn test.
I don't know what your baseline is, but I increased 100 points. I took one test cold, before studying at all to figure out where my weaknesses were and worked on those the most. If you're already testing at 700+ you might not see much improvement.
I have heard this as well. I just don't understand why people claim you should study 3 hours a day for 3 months in order to gain time saving techniques.
I mean, I hadn't done geometry since 10th grade man, so I needed 6 weeks of studying before and after work to get comfortable with the material. It's different for everyone. A friend who's at Booth now took a week off of work, went through his study guides and rocked a 750. The fact is though, assuming you're a fairly intelligent person, the GMAT is a test that can be learned with enough work.

I dont think anyone should study more than 4 months. 3 months is better. Study 4-7 days per week, and take it. I studied after work, I had a full time job. No prep courses, 1 book. I scored something like 550-600 on a paper practice test before any studying first gmatprep at around 4 weeks was 710 2nd gmatprep around 8 weeks was 730 actual test: 770
Damn dude. What school are you going to?
