GMAT Strategy

Hi All,

I was searching for guidance for preparing the GMAT and fortunately got the link of this forum. I hope someone can help me here.

I had done my graduation around 3.5 years back in IT and never thought of entering into management or its related studies. But I don't know fortunately or unfortunately, 1 year back, I entered into management division of IT company.

Somehow, now I feel that to grow further either in same company or any other I should pursue a good management degree. I don't want to do any management course through distance or even regular one from any low grade college.

I heard a lot about GMAT and want to join your group. But I have few doubts as follows:-

a) Since, I left studies 3.5 years back, so is it worth to start now. I mean, I am not confident enough but want to go on this path.
b) I searched a lot and found so many materials and links to study, but I am really confused from where should I start? I mean which book or any particular strategy I should follow?
c) I was good at maths and critical reasoning but too weak in English during my college days. I think, now I have start from scratch in each subject. 3.5 years are too much. So, which subject should I pick first to gain enough boost for studies? I don't want to left this venture in middle at all and want to do it at any cost.
d) How much time should I spend daily on studies and how much on weekdays? Although I am working but I can spend time easily after my work schedule.
e) When should I book my exams dates and how much time it would require to prepare for the exams?

Can you give me advice on this or may can you give me links which can help me in resolving these queries.

Thanks in advance.
