Hi,

1) Take time out from the schedule so that you can regularly give some time for the preparation. CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY TO GMAT SCORE
2) If you are planning to prepare on your own then Collect stuff like OG10, OG11, OG12, OG13, Manhattan Book, Kaplan Book etc. and then start studying what exactly GMAT asks and expects from the test takers
3) Take a sample test and do proper analysis to understand your level and identify the problem areas and make a strategy to overcome your problem areas.
4) Start studying and do it regularly for for about 2 months and then subscribe to some online test series like Manhattan test series and take tests to observe your probable score in real GMAT
5) Take GMAT PREP
6) If you are getting scores that you are looking for then just take a date and take the GMAT test.
7) If you are not prepared to take test then go back to step 1 OR take help from some expert because you might not want to waste a lot of time.

Also, Don't take the test date at the start of preparation. Ideally you should take the GMAT test date when you are done with most of your preparation and you have taken atleast one or two sample tests.

Test dates are generally available on very short notice therefore I don't feel it will be any problem for you to postpone the decision of taking test date. I would suggest that you take test date about One month later when your syllabus for GMAT preparation is over. By syllabus I mean
-All Topics of Quant (Numbers, Inequality, Geometry, Co-ordinate, P&C, Probability, Statistics, Time speed distance, Time and Work, Ratio and Mixtures, Word problems, DS Pratice etc.
-RC
-SC
-CR

The suggested material for Quant is
-Manhattan Books
-Kaplan Book
-OG-13

For Verbal
-OG10
-OG11
-OG12
-OG13
-Manhattan SC

Take a GMAT PREP Test and if you get a score close to your target score then decide a date about 20 days later so that you can improve a few more problem areas and get that score consistently or even a higher score.
Prosper!!!

Hi johnsonn,

Study plans are typically very specific to the needs of every individual test-taker. That being said, here are a few places to start.

1) Take a FULL-LENGTH practice exam, including AWA, under the same time constraints you'll experience on test day. This will give you a baseline score and also highlight the areas you need to improve in most.
2) Once you've done this, take advantage of the free trials that are usually offered by most online resources to see which ones work best for you before investing large amounts of money in ALL of them for the sake of having all of it at your fingertips.

Have you taken a practice exam already? If so, please let us know so we can better advise you.

Best,
Rich

Hi johnsonn,

In your other post, it sounded like you were trying to decide between the GMAT and the GRE. Since you're asking more about the GMAT here, is it correct to assume that you've made your choice?

While most Test Takers *want* a 700+ score, the truth is that most do not actually *need* a 700+ score to achieve their overall goals. It's important to define WHY you want an am MBA so that you can research the Schools that best match your career goals. Once you know the Schools that are the best fit (across a variety of variables), you can get a better sense of what would be considered a competitive score for applicants to those Schools (and use that information to better define your GMAT score goal).

Most Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) on the process; during that time, it's common to spend 10-15 hours per week (or more) on your studies. This is all meant to say that you have to really plan out your studies and you have to be prepared to commit the necessary time, energy and resources to the task. As you study, you also have to be prepared to make adjustments (depending on how long it takes you to improve in certain areas)

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
