Resuming Studies: Scored 540

[ProGMAT]

Hi,

I have been planning to study for GMAT since last year but as I am working in an MNC (IT), I am not able to continue my studies. I have taken my First GMATPrep test in August last year and scored 480. You can find my post here . I did study for few days but I was not able to continue my studies due to work load at office. I am again trying to study for GMAT this year and to get the target score (700+).
Last week I have taken my GMATPrep 2(as I have not removed s/w from my computer.) and I have scored 540 this time. The score break-up is as follows:

Quant: 44
Verbal: 21
IR: 4
Total: 540

I have started following the 60day GMAT Self Study course from this forum and trying to follow it on daily basis. I am also preparing from Manhattan guides.
I am planning to give 2 hours daily (previously I have planned for 3 but was not able to stick to it) and 5-6 hours on weekends for preparation.

Please suggest any further change in my plan for study and suggestions regarding some good practice material.
I am planning to take my GMAT in June/July.
I also want to know if I should reinstall the software to take the GMATPrep test again, as I have already completed my 2 attempts for Test 1?

Thanks.

Hi ProGMAT,

Since you have given yourself plenty of time to study before your Official GMAT, you've made a good first step. You should continue to study as you've planned for another 2-3 weeks before you take another practice CAT (CAT2 from the Prep Software). Once you have that score, you should post back here and we can gauge your progress and make the necessary adjustments.

If you have any specific questions along the way, then feel free to contact me directly.
