Need help in GMAT Preparation plan

by msanthosh2004 » Tue Mar 17, 2009 11:19 pm
Hi Guys,

This forum is really an amazing place to learn about GMAT.

Let me introduce myself.

This is Santhosh from India. Working as a software engineer in an MNC. I want a shift in my career so i am planning to do MBA overseas. I'm planning to take GMAT around June / July month. I am above average at quantitative & average in verbal. I am aiming for a 700+ score.

I have the following books
1. Princeton guide
2. Kaplan guide
3. Manhatten guide.
4. Manhattan verbal book.
5. Planning to buy official guide 12th edition once it gets released.

Can you guys help me in planning for my preparation? Which one to start first & how should i proceed.

Thanks a lot in advance

Cheers,
San
Regards,
Santhosh

Hey San,

Best of luck on your preparation. If you'd like help put out a detailed plan, please take a look at my debrief where I outline what worked for me vs what didn't work in detail: www.tinyurl.com/gmatpost

Do you have the GMATPrep software? that's a must have.

I'd definitely start with the Princeton guide since it seems to cover just overall basic theories of the GMAT. As far as the other books go, I honestly have not read them so I would not know. Just make sure you get OG11 or OG12 along with those books and practice practice practice.
