420 First try on GMAT (V:25 Q:12)

Hi guys

I gave the gmat in Oct 2011 and i failed miserably! Later my friend told me to check out this website and soon i realized that i had used all the wrong materials to prepare *facepalm*
I used:
Master the GMAT book
Tata McGraw hill

After visiting this website and looking at the resouces people used, i know that i screwed up badly but i counted this result as an experience :) Now 3 months(and a lot of football manager 12 gaming :P) on i am preparing to give it another go with the right materials.

I am using: All MGMAT Guides (quant+verbal), OG 12th edition, Verbal+quant review guides (by GMAC) for additional practice.

I have also subscribed to the Beat the GMAT site for my study plan. It sends me study plans for each day and i follow it :) I am hoping to give the GMAT again after 60 days with a min score of 600.

For practice tests: i have downloaded PowerPrep from the mba.com site and have 6 prac tests of MGMAT

Are these materials enough? can any1 recommend other prac tests to solver other than the ones that i have mentioned? I will be constantly updating u guys about my progress :)

btw i forgot to mention that on the essay section i did pretty good. i got 5.0 on 6.0 so there is some form of optimism there.
