GMAT Strategy

Hey guys,

This is my 3rd post. I am very happy that I found this forum. It's very helpful.
Good job Eric!

I took the exam a week ago but I went totally cold, without having been prepared for the dry Gmat RC and the boldface CR. As a result I didn't manage to get over 600.

I managed to read all stories of success. From Eric's from the USA to Dana's from Romania. I saw that you guys studied from so many different books. I also managed to collect most of the books you have mentioned, except from the Kaplan Gmat 2005, the Kaplan Verbal, the Gmat Essay Answers from Arco, the 800Bob's Explanations and the flashcards from gmatfix websites.

However I have to admit that the remainder of the books mentioned in the posts is enough to feel that probably I won't be able to study all this stuff. I am planning to start studying on Feb 1st and take the exam around April 10th because I need to catch some deadlines.

Here is the list of the books I have:

1. Kaplan 800
2. Kaplan Premier
3. Sahil's Grammar Notes
4. Manhattan 2009 ( the 8 books )
5. Official Guide 10th, 11th, 12th
6. Manhattan Review Sentence Correction Guide (authors Tracy C. Yun, Joen Meissner)
7. CR Powerscore Bible
8. Spidey's Sentence Correction Notes
9. Eric's Flashcards
10. 1000 Series along with LSAT (man these are a lot)
11. Verbal Review 2nd Edition OG
12. Quantitative Review OG (Couldn't find the 2nd edition so I have the old one)

Do you have any suggestions in which order I should study the above books. If times pressures me, which should I avoid ?
