I have completed MGMAT strategy guides and want some advice on the next step in my GMAT preparation. I have 2 months left to give my GMAT exam, so I came up with the scheduled listed below.

1 - Solve OG12, Quant 2nd ed, and verbal 2nd ed questions under time constraint for a month
2 - Revise strategy guide material on the side.
3 - Increasing the frequency of giving practice exams after completing OG.

I also wanted to know that does OG contain 700-800 level questions? Some people have suggested that I focus more on practice exam than solving the complete OG. I believe I should save prep exams for the last 3-4 weeks rather than exhaust them right now. But if the OG does not contain 700 level questions, then it might be a better idea to start solving prep exams right from the start.

If you're aiming for a 700+ and you're at that ability level, the only questions worth a heck in the OG are the ones in the back half of a section. Work from back to front. I do the same.
