Hello Everyone,
Looking for some advice on taking and beating the GMAT! This isn't my first go at the test, however I can say that I've never really taken a practice exam (seriously). I went to a Veritas class and felt like I was behind the curve when it came to being up to speed.
Can anyone provide me with some advice on what I should do to start prepping for the exam? I feel like I learn better when I am studying with others, however I've found it hard attempting to find a group to study with. Also, I was considering buying the new GMAT Study Books (Official Guides) reading them and getting used to them for a month (by myself or in a group) and then plugging myself into a class. Can anyone give me any recommendations? I don't feel like I am strong at any of the particular categorizes and that everything needs work.
Thanks!

I'm happy to respond.
Here's a three-month study plan:

If you have the time, here's a six-month study plan instead --- this is very thorough:

If you can find someone local who can study with you, then you might get every more from these study plans. You might post your location, so other folks know that your local.
Best of luck to you.
