Hey all

Iv planning to take up the gmat in the month of April next year.. Im also working at a research firm currently..

Iv purchased the following books to arm myself for the gmat based on the suggestions on the beatthegmat forum.

1.OG 12
2.Kaplan 2010-11 with CD-Rom
3.OG 12 Quants Review
4.OG 12 Verbal Review
5.MGMAT SC
6.Powerscore CR Bible
7.Arco GMAT Essays

Iv decided to start with quants..so coming to the study plan..

Iv basicaly split the quants segment as Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry. So il be starting off with the Math Review and the Kaplan Math skills refresher section..and il review the concepts learnt over the weekend with math tests..then i thought il move on to PS and DS once am confident of the concepts..

Am i doing this right? Or is there any other way to do it? Il be doing quants for close to 3 months since i can allot only 2 hours a day..i badly want to score 770 plus..people may think 8 months is too long..but i do not want to rush through..

Your suggestions are welcome..i need to know that i will not be doing something that is not worthwhile the time spent..
:| help!!

Hi Jayanth,

Sounds like you have a pretty good plan. I recently started studying and I plan on using Kaplan 2011 (which I'm on now), all the VeritasPrep books, and OG 12 before taking the GMAT hopefully at the end of this year. 8 months seems like a long time to stretch out your studying, but I don't know. I wonder how long people study on average.

Make sure you take some sort of diagnostic test soon, it's really helpful to know what you should focus on. Also, taking a practice CAT test in the near future will probably help you figure out if you'll actually need 8 months.

Jayanth,

You have a lot of time to prepare.Yes usually all people starts with the basics and study Quant.IMO you can finish you are Quant within 2 months itself.First start with diagnostic test so that you know about ur weak areas.Keep track of the errors in the sheet and go th through it later..You can also 60 days GMAT study guide available in this forum.

@nicolezl - Hi tx for the reply! I did take a diagnostic test..The one in og 12..scored 19 outa 48 and 22 outa 51..(Q,V) and i also took the kaplan cd rom diagnostic..in which i scored a percentage of 47%. I have not taken a full fledged CAT though..will definitely take it up..

@selango - Tx for the reply! Just one question..Is 8 months too long?? and how can i use the 60 day plan for a 6 or 8 month study plan??
