Please critique my 10-step GMAT Studying Plan (am I crazy?)

Hello folks,

As I embark on my GMAT journey with only 1 month in hand. Here's my game plan:

1. Read all Manhattan GMAT Guides (Starting with Foundation, then moving onto the specific guides)
2. Perhaps purchase the Veritas course, read the books and watch the videos
3. Look at the Aristotle SC Grail
4. Read the OG13 and the OG QR2 and OG VR2
5. Do a GMAT Prep diagnostic exam
6. Review my notes
7. Do the Manhattan CATs, Veritas CATs, Kaplan CATs, 800score CATs
8. Review my notes
9. Do the GMAT Preps + Official Additional question bank
10. D-day baby!

Am I being too ambitious in my plans? What can I avoid doing? What should I be doing instead?

Are the CATs that I am choosing the right ones to go for? I need to get 750+

Thanks a million!

At the moment I am going to have to vote for crazy! There is such a thing as over-studying.

I am actually not sure that ambitious is the word I would use...maybe too cautious actually!

How about this...

Pause in between those steps, and see where you are. If step 1 is a less expensive or for another reason the more desired option. Try that first. Read those guides and then do some official questions. Then see where you are. Move up step number 5 and take the GMATPrep test. I mean if you do all of those guides in step # 1 that is some weeks already. Is it paying off? Really try to make that work.

If step 1 does not do it for you, or if you decide that you would prefer some help right from the start, then by all means purchase the Live Veritas course or the Veritas On-Demand recorded courses. But I frankly think you should pick something and try to make that work, rather than going through all of those resources.

What if you read different SC books and they give somewhat different advice? Which thing will you do? I think you might get confused.

I have more faith in you than perhaps these 10 steps do! I say that you can do this - although 750+ is a big score!
