does anybody have soft copy of "Kaplan math workbook" to attach here for students who do not have access to this book.. Appreciate ur kind assistance

I also have another thing i want to consult with u guys in this forum.. i am about 3 weeks studying Math. i had plan to have one month for math, one month verbal and one month review all materials.. now after 3 weeks studying i think if i put aside math exercises for one month I want to study verbal, I will forget some materials and I have to put double effort to remember them... Which kind of change i can make in my study plan to make the best of that?

I'm not a huge fan of studying Quant and Verbal completely separately, and you're right, a month off from Quant entirely is not a good idea. I would suggest continuing your Quant work, but starting to introduce "chunks" of Verbal study concept-by-concept. For example, if you do 7 "3-hour" study sessions currently and all are Quant, start by swapping out 1 or 2 for Verbal.

Eventually I would make it a rotation, where let's say you have 20 Quant concepts and 12 Verbal concepts you're working on. Keep the studying 40/60, leaning on your weak side, and rotate the concepts every 1-2 hours.

I would begin with the OG to do an overview, then move on to books like MGMAT SC and Powerscore CR. But don't put off Verbal until you are "done" with Quant. You'll never truly be "done" with it, and Verbal takes time to sink in, esp. if you are non-native.

"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."
