Here is my story.

I took the gmat earlier this year and made 560. Was very disappointed. I attribute my low score
to the books i used and a bad headach on test day. However i want to improve my score to 700+ to
get into a top school for my MBA. I am very determined at this point to achieve this and am willing
to do what it takes and want the experts on this forum to help me out. I have the following books,

OG 12TH EDITION
KAPLAN GMAT 2010 LIVE ONLINE
POWERSCORE GMAT CRITICAL REASONING BIBLE
MANHATTANG GMAT SET OF 8 STRATEGY GUIDES

I plan on spending 4 months to study. I want to develop a schedule involving these books. Also, please suggest
other material that should be using. Please advice and provide your valuable opinions.

Hello!
So you should also get the OG verbal and math book. Since I don't really know much about your case I can only give general advice, but one thing that you should definitely do is to keep track of your mistakes, the questions that took you too long or had to guess on, and finally your thought process. It's not enough to do a lot of questions. You have to learn from them, and make sure you're approaching the questions correctly. Finally, focus on concepts first and then speed.

Cheers!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
