I saw the huge discrepancy in your GMAT prep score and Manhattan score,
Which is strange.
so i thought you might have messed up with early questions in GMAT prep yesterday...

Ah! well probably you are right becasuse in CAT Prep I missed 3 out of the first 5, and in Manhattan 2, yeah....I have to be more careful. Thanks!!!

My tentative study plan is somewhat like this (Somewhat like johny's thread :roll: )

1- As i am thinking of taking this test on April 11, so it makes aroung 56 days.

2- Total time :- 6-7 hrs/day

3- CAT Tests:-
- Powerprep.
- GMATPrep.
- Princeton.
- 800 score.

4- Books & Material :-

- PR. (i have only this book others are in soft copy form)
- OG10.
- OG11.
- 1000SC.
- 1000CR.
- Manhattan SC.
- 1000RC???
- some more material suggestd by ppl on forums.


5- Study Plan:-

- Study PR for 7 days and then take PP 1 Test and will keep log of this test for future.

What should i do next ? :

i read in some forum that one should give PP & GP test before studying OG series as they have Q's from OG and so there is no point in doing these tests after studying OG as Q's will be repeated in these test. and one more thing is reinstalling GP of any use? I also read some where that one can get new set of questions after reinstalling these tests and so can get 5-6 tests as contrary to 2 tests.

any suggestion/ advices are welcome.

So, OG 11's softcopy is finally available in the cyberspace then huh! 8)

It is only PowerPrep not GMATPrep.
You should take PP before OG11.
and you can practice GMAT prep anytime during your preparation.
ideally people take one test at the begining and the second at the last.

Re-installing wont make any difference. You can take it 5-6 times thought no harm in practicing but then dont count these tests...

in all Nice plan Zaffar.
i would recommend you to check this article too
