以下是引用芙蓉菜菜在2005-6-30 16:56:00的发言: 但是最好每天能有固定的时间准备,不能三天打鱼两天晒网。 其实很多N人都是在职考得,方法说来说去最重要的还是坚持。
i think what cai cai mentioned is the key. i had to work as well when i studied GMAT. my work hours are usually at least 12 hours a day and periodically, i had to pull all-nighter. usually an all-nighter would totally mess up my schedule, and i had to use all the available free time to sleep afterwards.
when i studied for my first test, i didn't touch GMAT during the busy weeks, and the result was apparantly bad. second time, i understood the importance of continuous study, but still -- as you mentioned -- it's so hard to concentrate after a long day of work. however, i managed to study at least half an hour every other day - so during week days, i could study about 2-3 hours for a week. sometimes i tried to make the half hour in the morning before work. what time do you have to go to work? think about this - if you go to work at 9am and it takes you half an hour to get to work, you can totally study from 7:30 to 8am, right? weekend is the key - i studied at least 6 hours a day during weekend, both days.
but it's still hard to keep the problem solving sense fresh. so what i did was focus on the "feelings" i've accumulated over the time on how to solve each type of questions. i revisited the feelings EVERYDAY. that's easy because i could think about it in subway, at lunch etc. it only took 2-3 minutes. i explained it in a good detail in my study review (
http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=34&replyid=117875&id=117875&page=1&skin=0&Star=1) this is the way i figured out to keep up with the study... again, the key is you cannot stop studying/thinking about GMAT for more than 1 day.
i know it's very challanging. i think for people who are working, how to most effectively study is essential - because we don't have the massive time that other people do. also, keep your spirit up - i read NN study review almost everyday to keep myself going... jia you ah!!
