any suggestion on how i should start studying and where to focus a lot?

I would seperate my study time between math and verbal days. On the math days, begin with Number Properties. On the verbal days begin with the Critical Reasoning Bible. With the CR bible this is very important. Make notecards as you go through each chapter. Otherwise you will forget vital information and will have to reread the book.

i havent get the CR Bible yet it should be on its way. So far i have all the materials from GMAT Manhattan detailrs here: https://www.manhattangmat.com/storeitems ... 29&catid=1

If that's the case, begin with the Sentence Correction Guide. I would recommend not only making notecards, but also reading through that book at least twice.

ok i will thanks a lot for your help. Let me know if anything else come to your head...thanks a lot!!

basically your study plan should be as follows.

3 days a week math
3 days a week verbal
after you have finished all the materials the seventh day will be reserved for a CAT


On the math days, go through the MGMAT math guides in order. Once you finish a chapter, add do two problems from each past chapter as a part of your drill set. For example. Once you finish chapter one of number properties and you move on to chapter two, before you go through chapter two do problems 1 and 2 of chapter one and then move on to chapter two. Once you go through chapter two, go do problems 3 and 4 from chapters one and two and then move on to chapter 3. Do this all the way through all of the guides, so once you finish all of the math you will be doing two chapters from every chapter of every guide on your math days.

On the verbal, I'll just be honest, I suck at that so i've got nothing

I like the Manhattan GMAT series for specific subjects. Also, check out some free online sites too--that way you don't end up spending a fortune. Some of my friends have shelled out tremendous amounts on Princeton, Kaplan, etc. Anyhow, I've been using a few sites with my print materials. I really like https://www.winningprep.com/--it's a student-written guide that really focuses on technique, because you can have plenty of knowledge, but you have to have strategy to excel at this test.

netmata ... i'm taking the manhattan gmat prep class and there is a syllabus available somewhere... you should definitely follow that.

https://www.manhattangmat.com/gmat-course-gmat-book.cfm maybe you can use this as a starting point.. i can tell you that Number Properties is first!

@Money, are you taking MGMAT online classes?
