Four months is a very reasonable timeline. Here's what I would recommend:
- Analyze the practice test you've taken in a lot of depth. Which areas were you weakest? Strongest? Fastest? Slowest? Decide which topics and question types need more of your time and attention. Be very aware of your timing as well.
- Study topic-by-topic, and practice each topic with OG problems. For example, read the chapter on SC subject/verb agreement, then go do a set of 8-10 problems in the OGs that relate to that subject (you can find a master list for OG 13 in the back of our SC guide). Aim to do this in 6-8 weeks.
- Make sure you are tracking all of the OG questions you do, and timing yourself while you practice. Hold yourself to strict 2-min time limits per question! MGMAT has a great tool called Navigator that will aggregate your OG data (it's included for free if you bought the guides through MGMAT, but you'll have to purchase it if not):

- Keep a record of any mistakes you make, so you can locate patterns in your errors:

- Once you've covered all of the topics, practice your skills with random timed sets out of the OGs and practice tests.
- Analyze your data from the random sets and practice tests, and go back to any topics that need extra work.
Good luck!
