Yup, I've got barely 2 weeks left before I appear for GMAT.
Till today, I've finished solving OG12, OG verbal review. I did some of LSAT sets for CR (around 200). I've hardly exercised RC.
I haven't done a lot of quant though, because Verbal has been giving me trouble.

I've taken 4 CATs
GMATPrep 1 (w/o any preparation, 1.5 month ago) : 540
MGMAT 1 (1 month ago) : 630
GMATPrep 2 (1 week ago) : 640
MGMAT 2 (3 days ago) : 700

Please suggest me a good study strategy for these last 2 weeks. I'm going through a lot of material, but I feel that I'm not able to grasp much. Currently I'm doing 300 BTG quant problems and OG 10 for verbal.
How many practice test should I take?

Here's my suggestion:

I suggest 2-3 practice tests. Take them all well spaced out and 2-3 days before the exam. You dont want to get tensed or stressed out one day before the exam.

Practice about 50 Math questions every day. Make sure that you review your mistakes. (most important step is the review)

Get yourself RC99 and practice 3-4 passages daily. Make sure you do it till the last test.

If you have SC material, review it every day. Go through the OG questions once again and see if you know all the concepts in SC. You just need to do 15-20 questions a day.

That's enough!

Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert.

Hello,
The key during the last week is review. Going back through all of the math problems, and all of the sentence correction questions that you had problems with (spent to long on, got wrong, had to guess on) is of upmost importance. It's during your review that you really get a grasp of all the information that you've gone through.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
