Hello!. I've read most of the articles regarding about how to prepare for the Gmats under study plans. Currently my weakest subject of the two is verbal. Since I have over a year to prepare for this test, I plan on taking things slowly. My current goal is to study one subject at time. I'm going to break down each part ( sentence correction, critical reasoning and reading comprehension) and devote 2-3 months for each subject. My initial plan is to really understand the concepts behind the questions rather than just blazing through as many questions as possible. Basically my strategy is quality over quantity I'm new to this and I would like to listen to members opinions.

For the past two days, I'm just going over Manhattan sentence correction and the concepts.


P.S. Do we need the OG GMAT review edition 10 to supplement the Manhattan sentence correction book? At the end of every chapter they have exercises you can do in edition 10.


Thanks!

If you have over a year, this is how I would approach it. I wouldn't even pick up something GMAT related initially. I would get basic books on grammar for sentence correction, a book on formal logic for Critical Reasoning, and just some algebra and geometry books for math. I would go through those materials first. After you have a very good understanding of grammar, logic, and algebra/geometry. I would begin studying GMAT prep materials.
