Hey everyone,

Just wanted your opinions on what I absolutely must cover and what I should cover if I have time. My test is on Octbober 15th giving me 30 days to study minus 2 days to relax before the test that leaves me with 28 days. I will complete the OG book next week leaving me 21 days roughly. I have the following 4 books which I have no covered at all:

Kaplan 800
MGMAT SC
OG V review
OG M review

My plan is to tackle the first two over the course of a few days (3-4 days each) then finish the latter two which leads me directly into my test date.
What do you guys(and girls) think? Are there other more efficient ways to break up my studies? I am also considering working the OG books while at the same time covering the first two...

Comments appreciated!

If I were you, I would tackle the MGMAT SC book first--read it thoroughly, but do it somewhat quickly. Next, focus on OG V and OG M. Really take the time to work through these questions and analyze your mistakes, patterns. If you have time at the end, check out Kaplan 800.

The general strategy I'm suggesting is go through the strategy and theory early and spend most of your time PRACTICING with real questions. Kaplan 800 is a good book, but not really critical.

Best of luck!

@beatthegmat: ... & there has to be some others opinion on it, right? ;) :lol:

@mayonnai5e: that really depends on your aspiration, your target GMAT score, & where you stand now.
just tell us quickly your hit rate on SC at OG11.

The reason I am asking is I want to assess whether you'd really need MGMAT SC book. I am not against this book in fact I reviewed it myself and rate it as "must have to all SC weak ppl"

about K800 is also a great book.
OG V & OG Q has old question sets but they come from official source... so you might wanna review them too.
I think you can cover all of them in a month...

but as beatthegmat mentioned now, you should concentrate on CATs more
