Have you been studying? It has been a few days now. Is your study plan in place and working?

Yes I've started manhattan strategy guides.

If I need to score 650 on April 30, is there a way I can avoid study for 3 official guides and just manhattan strategy guides will yield me to 650.

Well the manhattan guides rely on the Official Guide for homework problems so you need that. You may not need the Verbal Review and the Quant Review.

As you get closer to the exam you will want to do problem sets from the OG 13 or from the GMATPrep Prep Pack 1 add-on. Are you familiar with the Prep Pack 1?

You have a pretty intense 5 weeks ahead of you! Just keep at it.

There are 2 free Cats from Mba.com and then we can buy 2 more cats for $39.99 is that what you're talking about.

Yes it's 5 weeks and it will be very intense.

Good thing is that I'm not working so I'm home 24 hours so that Plus.

A few people have done very well while working full time in only 5 weeks.

I'm just working very hard and following my game plan of studying manhattan and official guides and then practise from Cat's.

Luck supports the brave one.

Yes the two free CATS (and you can probably take each one twice) and then the latest questions are on the tests that cost $39.99

So that is between 4 and 6 official tests depending on if you retake them. Add your M-GMAT tests that you got with the books and the Veritas Free Test and this is more tests then you will need.

You can wait to buy the Exam Pack 1 (the $39.99) until later on in your studies if you choose to. See how you are doing on the other exams!
