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.
