Dear All
I am currently working and also have 3 months of time to prepare for GMAT.
I have scheduled my plan as below
a)1 st month for Quant and Data sufficiency
Books- 1st Kaplan Math review for concepts
then OG questions for review and after that Kaplan 800
Same sequence for each type of quant questions.

b) 2nd month for verbal
Please tell best books for preparation for
1) Sentence correction and CR questions.

c) last month for IR and AWA practice and
Mock tests.

I am planning to take GMAT on Nov 20th.

Please add your views for best books or any modifications required in preparation plan.

Rajdeep

- Take some mock tests in between your preparation schedule.
- Do not try to improve it one by one.
- Try to work on all the sections evenly so that you remember the shortcuts/strategies whatever you learn till the end.
- Two whole months of preparation without any mock tests in the middle will not be of much use.
- You should know where you stand and how much you need to improve, what you need to learn in order to reach that score - All these can be done only with the help of mock tests.
- A whole month for IR and AWA is a total waste of time - you should spend a day or two for those or may be a week at the max.

The purpose of the mock tests is to
* improve your timing strategy
* testing experience
* analyze where you are weak and where you are strong

You wont gain anything taking loads of tests in the last month alone.

Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

"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."
