    This goal is review GMAT outside the classroom. It is specific because I need GMAT score to apply MBA. The goal is review GMAT until I get the target score: 500. I will spend at least 1 hour per day to review GMAT in week days. It is realistic because 1 hour is not that long for every week days. I plan to get 500 score in 3 months.

    I have a goal about how to improve my spoken English outside the classroom. At first, I should continue to communicate with friend in English everyday. Second is doing more listening practice such as, some listening apps, American TV show, and broadcasting radio. I give myself three months time to complete this goal because I hope I can enter the university in August this year. I keeping do it every day due to I am very easy become lazy. Fortunately, I still insist on it now and I believe I can achieve my goal.

    I'm going to learn GMAT by myself outside the classroom, because I need to hand out my GMAT sore before May to apply MBA summer courses in SUNY Oswego. It is the most difficult to remember GMAT new vocabulary for me, so I download a APP called GMAT WORDS that I can follow with the plan to study new words everyday. Then I will take a test online every two weeks to check whether I can get my target score, 500. I think my goal can be done because I am passionate and I know I have to do it if I'm really want to go to MBA college. Finally, I'm planning to achieve my goal in two months.
