I think even if you are good at math, you should consider getting the Manhattan GMAT Number Properties Guide.

Hi,
You can divide 1 month for quant, 1 for verbal and 1 for review and practice. There is one 3 month study plan on this forum.
Maths:
If you are like me who has forgotten math concepts,can consider buying Manhattan Quant Guides or Kaplan Math Workbook.
These books are quite conceptual and can be completed in few days and can then jump to practice questions from OG Guides. If you are trying for score > 700-720,might try Kaplan 800.

Verbal:
Looks like you got the books normally recommended. Manhattan SC might be bit too stretchy at times and it contains tons of rules to remember so making short notes and flash cards is useful.Can't speak for CR and RC as I haven't started them yet.

Most of all for 3 month study plan I feel one must consistently study for 1.5 to 2 hours weekdays and may be 4 hours for weekends.
