GMAT Study Plan for Working Professionals with 3-5 Years of Experience

GMAT study plan is very important for a successful GMAT result. When you are an experienced working professional, you have to make a study plan to crack GMAT and get the course done for a better placement. We suggest at least a 2 months study plan for GMAT for the working professionals for a good score in GMAT. Before moving on to the study plan, let’s face the commonest question:

How to Prepare for GMAT with a Full-time Job?

Well, making a study plan for GMAT is not a very easy task especially when it is for the working professionals. At the time of making the GMAT study plan, three main factors to keep in the mind:

  • The professional workers will not be able to study much in the weekdays
  • They will study after and before their working hours on the weekdays
  • The study plan of weekdays has to be light and weekends need to be packed

Keeping these factors in mind, the primary step for the candidates is to take a mock test of GMAT. With the help of it, the candidates will be able to understand the sections they are weakest in. Based on this, the study plan will be made for the candidate.

The study plan below is based on a candidate who is weak in GMAT quant:

The study plan aims to enhance the knowledge of the candidates in the areas they are weak and strengthen the areas in which they are already strong. In the study plan above, the target is to strengthen the quant section as the candidate score lowest in the quant section.

In case a candidate is weaker in the GMAT verbal section, he or she can change the study plan according to their needs. The above study plan is just for a reference. The basic thing is the candidates need to practice the weakest section more without ignoring the rest of the section.

The professionals with 3-5 years of experience will definitely not get enough time to prepare for GMAT. The above study plan is designed in such a way that on the weekdays the candidates need to manage the least time. To crack GMAT, they have to study on the weekend with full dedication and it will result in a higher GMAT score.
