Need a solid study plan. Target score: 650

by MaRLo » Thu Nov 29, 2012 6:37 am
Hi, I'd like to devote the next 2 (or even 3) months for studying the GMAT and my target score is 600-650 (It's what's required by the program I'm applying for).

What should be my study plan and what books should I start with?

I'd appreciate which books should I do math review from, learn how to do CR and SC questions and the new IR section.

Any help is appreciated :)

I also got Manhattan GMAT's complete set of strategy guides (5th Edition) + Foundations of GMAT Math + Foundations of GMAT Verbal.

I'll start with math now from the Foundations of GMAT Math guide. Is this a good book to do a math review from? or do you recommend another one?

Thanks ahead

For Quant - MGMAT Guides, Ron's videos, Dedicated and disciplined 1hr of effort in following Tutor's post in beatthegmat (bcoz GMAT is not about conventional methods of solving. you need to use strategies to solve 37 questions in 75 minutes)

For verbal
SC - MGMAT sc guide , Aristotle SC guide and e-gmat
CR - Improve your reasoning skills. Find multiple ways to strengthen, weaken an argument. I would recommend powerscore CR bible.
RC - three passages a day. Google Gin's approach.
