GMAT 100 hour plan

The Hundred-Hour Game Plan

The Hundred-Hour Game Plan is designed for those people who are very
serious about getting into a good business school. If you realize the
importance of a high score and are willing to make the sacrifices necessary
to get it, you've come to the right place. Allow at least a month to
complete the Hundred-Hour Game Plan as very few people can study more than
25 hours a week.


If you are willing to commit to the 100 hour plan, you may want to ask
yourself whether you are also willing to commit some time and money to
taking a GMAT prep course. Before you proceed, read "Should You Take a Prep
Class?" for more information about the pros and cons of GMAT classes.
Taking a prep course is optional, but it can have a fundamental impact on
how you proceed with your GMAT Game Plan.


Make sure to read our Pre-Game Talk before starting the Game Plan. These
suggestions are critical in order to get the most out of the plan you have
chosen. Good luck with your studies and with your test!
