Going through the GMAT OG, for the quant, is it better to try to figure out the problems you don’t know or skip and just read the solutions? Trying to study for the exam in about a month and a half.

Keep an error log — if you can’t solve the question in 2.5 / 3 minutes then google the question prompt and check out a video / GmatClub for a detailed explanation.

Attempt the problem in the moment to go through the motions. Review the concept if you weren’t familiar.

Revisit all problems on your error log over time (multiple times based on error rate).

Also If it takes you 3 mind to solve a problem I would suggest looking it up and ensuring you are doing it the most efficient way (and ofc note this in your error log).

Hi! I’m a first-year associate working at a large regional firm. I attended a well-ranked, but regional law school and my grades weren’t stellar. School was never very motivating for me, and I put way more effort into internships and networking than my studies during law school. Luckily, I love to network and landed an awesome job at a big firm. Eventually, I’m hoping to work in-house. My question is this, will my grades always follow me? I’ve heard that with time and experience, not so much.

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management. They both have the same requirements (generally speaking) including a capstone course that serves as a field immersion course with the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Curious to hear thoughts...hypothetically background is very good. MBB plus brand name firms in social impact space. High undergrad GPA from school like UVA/Michigan/Berkeley. Supplemental accounting class with A+ received. Recommendations are top notch, including from a MBB senior partner. Tons of networking with schools. GMAT, however, is not good. Caucasian female. How big a deal is the GMAT situation going to be? I’ve taken it 3 times and still <700. Looking at M7.
