I am trying to study for the GMAT in two months time. I have plenty of free time to do this, and I am very determined. I have time to study about 4 hours per day during the week, and even longer on weekends. Here are the books I ordered to start my process:

1. Kaplan Premier Live
2. MGMAT Number Properties
3. MGMAT Sentence Correction
4. PowerScore CR Bible
5. All 3 of the newest edition OG books (guide,math,verbal)

I would like to determine the best way to utilize all of these books. I have heard to complete the Kaplan, and then use the others to build up those areas even stronger than the Kaplan could. I could take the test in 2 months or I could take it in 3 months; my school fills spots on an as-needed basis (first come, first serve), and I don't want to miss out on this class. Is this all possible in 2 months time, or 2.5? Thanks for any suggestions about using the books and time issues.

Hi JaredSD,

I am no expert , just a fellow GMAT taker .

First of all you should go through the KAplan Premier , then combine all materials and keep a balanced approach with verbal and quant . Solving OG is a must and it will keep you busy for a long time . I am not sure about the time required to complete all this material coz that varies from person to person , may be some expert can comment on that . To evaluate your current position you can attempt the diagnostic test given in OG at the start , that will make you aware of the areas you need to work on .

Wish you best luck with your preparation.

Thanks & Regards,
AIM GMAT

"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."
