My recommendation would be to study both simultaneously. Maybe to break it up, alternate days between verbal and math. When you're studying, do not just cover a topic and then move on from that topic. Every few days, go back and do problems from topics that you have already covered. For example, if you finish going through a chapter on ratios. After you finish another chapter covering a different math topic, go back and do some ratio problems to keep the content fresh in your mind. Once you add another chapter, go back and review the previous two chapters that you have finished. Do this all the way up until the test. This will ensure that the information remains fresh.

"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."
