Hi
I am working as an engineer and I took one of the 2 free test from mba.com to check where I stand. I took this first test without even knowing what is the test format for GMAT. I mean to say I knew nothing about GMAT when I took the test except I have to answer all Qs to avoid penalties for not answering Qs
I scored 440/800 (V12, Q42)
My verbal is poor as my english is not so good. During verbal I guessed many questions without even reading to complete the test(mosly RC)
After doing almost 8 hrs of online research, I ordered following books
Manhattan RC & Manhattan SC
Powerscore CR
OG12
I have Princeton Review borrowed from public library which I can renew once and keep up to end of July
I also downloded flashcards and Spiedy's SC notes and Sahils Grammer notes....thanks to beat the gmat!!
My maths is good and I think I can score more than 55 in maths if I work hard on Quant.
I need some suggestions for study plan. Due to my present job, max I can get 1 hr dedicated to GMAT on M, T, Th, F and 2-3 hrs on Wednesday (so 6-7 hrs in weekdays) and 8+8=16 hrs on weekends so total 22-23hrs per week.
I am in no hurry for GMAT. I can take GMAT after a year if I have to. But I want to score really high(>750)
I think, I can't use 60 day study plan from beat the gmat.
Experts, please provide some suggestions for study plan for approx 6 months and how should I use books. Where to start? just finish each book one by one or read each book simultaneously? How to check my improvement after certain period of time?
Thanks
