Big thank you Avi and Dr. Klaybor for this very insightful video. I have been learning tremendously from your videos. Sending you many blessings ❤
I have a question regarding daily study hours, how much time do you think one should dedicate to studying for the GMAT if they are mainly focusing on that?
I study 4, 5 hours on average per day but I am also a slow learner and when I started studying 4 months ago, quant was my weakness. Thankfully I am in a better place now. Thank you again!

Thanks for posting this, Avi. And a big thank you to Dr. Klaybor! I felt that I had really solidified my approach to Work/Rate problems through your videos, but today on my practice test I completely froze (and I had 3-4 on my Quant section) and felt I couldn't answer them. Is this an example of over studying?

One thing not addressed: how does one deal with the almost bewildering number of courses and approaches for preparation, some of whom promise GMAT nirvana if only you follow their approach; many of these offer completely different approaches.
