I took my GMAT two days back. Getting 760 was a really good feeling as i had only 15 days to prepare for GMAT.

I am including my prep schedule, which i think might be useful to some aspirants, especially the ones who do not have a lot of time on hand. Since, i am engineer, i did not have a lot of trouble with the Quant portion.

My prep schedule:

- 7 to 8 hours of study daily
- First six-seven days : OG 10 (verbal) + Kaplan Premier program (critical reasoning: i found it really good), OG 11 (verbal), Manhattan SC
- I used to do Quant practice on a daily basis -- especially probability and Data Sufficiency. This helped me to be in regular touch with both the parts of the GMAT.
- All these days, as and when i was finishing the course material, I was also giving small tests (sets of 20-25 question )
- Next four days: Practice from other tests and material, such as Score Top, and 1000 Series (especially critical reasoning).
- Last five days: Mock GMATs, online tests, mainly Manhattan tests.

My test scores were:

Kaplan - 670 (Gave 8 days after i started my preparation)
Manhattan 1 - 710
Manhattan 2 - 730
Manhattan 3 - 750
Manhattan 4 - 730
Manhattan 5 - 750
Manhattan 6 - 750

I feel like there should be a disclaimer on this score...

*NOTE: Progress not typical. Most GMAT candidates study for months to break the 700 barrier.

Great job!!!
