Hi punit391990,

2 months is enough time to get ready for the GMAT, but your Verbal Scaled Score means that you'll need to do some HEAVY verbal studying. GMAT books will probably not be enough to get you ready - I recommend that you look into the various courses/options (most companies offer some free resources or trial accounts) and choose the one that fits your personality and budget. When it comes to the practice CATs, don't take too many of them too soon. You'll improve by doing practice problems, you can MEASURE your improvement with the CATs.

"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."
