Firtsly, Let me introduce myself, I have been above average student throughout my student life i.e generally at 75 % of scores & presently working with one of top automobile company in sales & marketing division with total work experience of apprx 7 yrs in automobile industry in India. I am also preparing for GMAT but couldn't able to decide when to take final exam. I have been preparing for exam for last 7-8 months off-on with jobs related pressures, tensions & half hearted attempts. Now, I have decided to give final power packed punch of 2 months to GMAT i.e. planning to take in mid Jun 10. I have recently taken 3-4 mock tests also with scores as Princeton -580, Manhattan -580, Cambridge -620 & GMAC-580.

I need feedbacks of all of you to guide me on followings

1.) Is above said Prepration material sufficient if I able to put genuine effort.
2.) Is two months preparation enough to achieve 700 plus score
3.) Is the number of tests i.e. 15-20 nos sufficient before final GMAT exam on 15th Jun10
4.) Any other feedbacks that can accelerate my preparations.

Looking ahead positively to more & more feedbacks so that can review myelf & my preprations well.
