I've been browsing for a few weeks now and just signed up for the GMAT on May 29th. I'm targeting a 700+ score (who isn't). I took the GMATPrep test last week with no preparation at all and score a 500 (Q 35, V 23). It was definitely lower than I expected, but at the same time I had no preparation and it was the first time I've done anything scholastic in 3 years. I'm confident I can get a 700 with proper studying and preparation. Below is my current basic study plan (partially borrowed from a few posters).

11-12wks total
2 hours per weeknight (except Friday)
10 hours per weekend
Starting with Quant (PS for 2 weeks and DS for 2 weeks) and then on to Verbal (2wks per section)
Doing 40 questions per week of previous sections
Using OG 11th Edition - 40 timed questions per night

I'm still devising a strategy for correcting weaknesses. Right now I'm just trying to re-learn a lot of the basics and get myself in study mode.

I'm planning on purchasing the Manhattan practice tests. Is it overkill to take 1 practice test per weekend? I wondered if it would be beneficial since I haven't studied every section yet. Also, I'm considering an online course to supplement my training. Would I gain anything with that course that I wouldn't get from going through OG 11, MGMAT tests and studying on my own? If I don't do the online, I would likely get the 8 Manhattan study guides. Thoughts?

Any other suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

First, welcome to the forum!

Second, my hat's off to you...you spent a good amount of time here, read through the threads, and devised an excellent study plan based on what you learned here. If only more newbies did that. This bodes well for your success on the GMAT, my friend! Diligence is a fabulous thing.

Third, yes, it's fine to take a test each weekend. Do them on Saturday and then review the results either later that day (if you're not already mentally fried!) or on Sunday. Carefully analyze errors, and categorize them in an error log (grammar error, calculation error, clicked the wrong choice, ran out of time and guessed, etc.).

You won't have enough tests with just MGMAT. Download the FREE and awesome GMATPrep tests from the official site (www.mba.com) and also do the tests in Cracking the GMAT. I found them to be very close to the real thing. Plus, they group your results by question type, which makes it easier to figure out your real weaknesses and strengths, and to see how you're progressing. The DVD has some interactive lessons on it as well.

As far as a course...wait until you've taken 2-3 tests before you consider a course. You'll have a good idea after a few weeks of prep if you need one.

Hope that helps!
