Hi kokateamol,
It sounds like you're just starting out; you made a smart choice by posting here. Before offering advice on a study plan, it's important that you define your goals and plans:
1) Why do you want an MBA?
2) When do you want to attend School?
3) Have you done any research into the Schools that you might apply to?
When it comes to studying for the GMAT, most Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) on their studies; during that time, it's common to spend 10-15 hours per week (or more) on the process. To get a sense of your current abilities, you should plan on taking a FULL-length practice CAT Test. You can download 2 for free from www.mba.com. A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you set aside enough time to do so. Once you have your score results, you should post back here and we can put together a study plan.

I think the most important first step is to assess your needs. To do this, you should take a full length practice test. GMAC gives you two free when you download their GMAT prep software. Once you have taken the practice test, you will know how far you are from your target score and where your weaknesses are and can plan your studying accordingly.

GMAT preparations takes a time of anywhere between 3 to 6 months and you have plenty of time to prepare for your GMAT.You can follow the below steps to score well in your GMAT exam.
1. Start with a mock test. This will help you identify your strong and weak areas
2. If you plan to do self study, get your hands on the best preparatory material available in the market. You can speak to your seniors, get feedback on forums like pagalguy to seek out the best in the market
3. Joining a coaching institute or a study group is recommended because it gives a structure to your preparation and keeps you motivated all the time. Remember cracking GMAT is not just about working hard but working smart as well
4. Make a study time table for yourself that suits you best. You can start with spending 2 hours every day and as you move closer to your test date, start increasing your study hours
5. Keep taking mock tests in real test taking situations. However, more important than taking a mock test is to analyse your performance in the same. If you spend 2 hours on a mock test, spend 6 hours in analysing the same.
6. Figure out ways by which you can continuously keep improving your score
7. Make sure you stay consistent with your schedule. This is extremely important
