My prep is going good so far. I am focusing on specific topic areas in Quant with MGMAT strategy guides books and then solve the practice questions in the end of each section. After that I practice the topic questions from the OG which are mentioned in the end of the strategy guides. After doing the MGMAT questions thoroughly I find the OG questions a lil easier than MGMAT but the tougher questions are trickier.

On the Verbal side, my progress is a little slow. I went through CR and RC and tried some practice problems from Kaplan VR. I noticed that if I get back to CR and RC after 2 to 3 days of gap I make same mistakes which I had already covered in my previous session of RC and CR. Basically I loose touch. Thats why I have decided to practice some RC and CR questions everyday. 2 RC and 10 CR's everyday.

Did anyone else follow this strategy of doing a few problems in the RC, CR, Quant, SC, everyday.

So I plan to cover one topic area in Quant, or SC everyday along with the practice of RC and CR problems.

Thanks.

I had a similar problem and I did practice few problems every day during the last two weeks of prep. I think this would be very useful to be in form.

You should do what works for you and if that's doing CR and RC everyday then do CR and RC everyday. I found CR, RC, and SC to be pretty much the same thing over and over again - same ideas/strategies just different topics - so once I learned and understood how to answer them I didn't really need to go over them everyday. The last two weeks of practice I did little to no work on verbal, but that was my case. Do what works for you and you'll see progress!
