I think even if you are good at math, you should consider getting the Manhattan GMAT Number Properties Guide.

Hi,
You can divide 1 month for quant, 1 for verbal and 1 for review and practice. There is one 3 month study plan on this forum.
Maths:
If you are like me who has forgotten math concepts,can consider buying Manhattan Quant Guides or Kaplan Math Workbook.
These books are quite conceptual and can be completed in few days and can then jump to practice questions from OG Guides. If you are trying for score > 700-720,might try Kaplan 800.

Verbal:
Looks like you got the books normally recommended. Manhattan SC might be bit too stretchy at times and it contains tons of rules to remember so making short notes and flash cards is useful.Can't speak for CR and RC as I haven't started them yet.

Most of all for 3 month study plan I feel one must consistently study for 1.5 to 2 hours weekdays and may be 4 hours for weekends.

"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."
