I live/work in NYC and I plan to sign up for a live 9-week course in the next few weeks. I have 3 questions:

Once I sign up, can I pick up the course materials from the MGMAT center, or do I have to wait until the first day of class?

Secondly, in anticipation of struggling with the homework load while working full-time, do you advise getting a head start on some of the reading and/or assigned problems before the class begins?

Lastly, I noticed that the Official Guide has a Math Review section as well as strategies for the different problem types. Do you recommend reading these sections, or are they a waste of time, given that I will take the 9-wk course? I ask because I already own the OG 11 and I'm wondering if there's any prep I can do before the 9-week course starts.

Thanks for all your help!
