I have only 25 days for my GMAT. Unfortunately I haven't got more time away from work. I have gone through the Quant section once and the Verbal section once. Although not in too much detail. I have a decent hold on the concepts however I feel I need more practice in both.

1) How do I structure my studying?
2) When would be the ideal time to give a mock GMAT which won't demotivate me?
3) Do I stand a fair chance?

Take a practice test as soon as possible (today).

The GMAT is a test of your math and verbal skills AND it's a test of your test-taking skills. So, in addition to working on content, you need to work on your endurance and your time management skills.

Also, a practice test will help identify weak areas so you can strengthen them.

Avoiding practice tests (for fear of being demotivated) is a recipe for a low score on test day (which is more demotivating that a low practice test score)

Cheers,
Brent

"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."
