That's a long list!
Have you taken an official practice test yet? https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx

For all you know, you may already be scoring above your target score. Or it may be the case that only a few particular areas need work, in which case you won't need so many books.

Cheers,
Brent

I'll second Brent's suggestion to take an exam so that you have a benchmark.

But in addition to the free exams, I do think the new GMATPrep tests should be a part of every test-takers study regimen: https://www.mba.com/us/store/store-catal ... ack-1.aspx

Hi nikhilgmat31,

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline/goals:

1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

Your list of resources looks really big - it appears to come down to the MGMAT Books, something from Princeton Review (books or a Course), the OG books and some random other books. It doesn't appear to have a 'structure' though. Are you just reading through these books randomly? You probably do NOT need any more books.

Hi Rich,

I have 9 years of IT Computers experience & my goal score is 700+
My GMAT is on OCT 3.
I am planning to apply right after taking GMAT test. Must go for business school this year.

Even I am thinking, I have read too much books. Now I need guide for tip/tricks for Quant & DS.

Also I need a summary guide for Sentence Correction & Practice tests for CR & RC.

Hi nikhilgmat31,

I'm not sure if you've answered this previously, but have you taken any FULL CATs recently? When was your last one and how did you score (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
