Try this one strategy:
Again, it’s really up to you, but here is a basic plan that most people have used that showed great results.
1) Go through the Kaplan Workshop FIRST. It’s the best Basic review that I’ve found of Math and Verbal.
2) Go through the Princeton Review Quant and Verbal Study Guide section
3) Do at least 50 questions of each type.
4) Take the one Princeton Review Test from the CD. Use it as a reference point to see where your at. Do it under the strictest time conditions.
5) Finish the Princeton book
6) Get the Deltacourse material and go through it.
7) At the same time, begin going through the Kaplan questions.
8) At a MINIMUM take one full GMAT practice test a week. Whether it’s Kaplan or Princeton. Save the last Powerprep for when your about 2-3 weeks away from the test. The Powerprep tests are well known to provide results quite similar to the real GMAT. The Kaplan ones are traditionally harder and therefore give lower average scores. Don’t worry about the scores if they are lower. If you are worried, go to
https://www.gmatclub.com/content/resourc ... /index.php. There, you’ll find a score estimator. It will take the Kaplan score you get and average it out to a more realistic score.
9) Go through the Official GMAT Guide. Do all the questions.
10) If you have the time, use the GMAT Plus material for an additional source of questions to go through.
11) Take time to do a weekly review of the verbal and quant formulas and reference sheets you made.
https://www.gmattutor.com has the beginnings of an excellent Math Basics reference sheet. Bar none, the Princeton Review for Verbal is your best bet. See below for my summarized version of it.
12) Do at least a dozen practice essays. Do each one under timed conditions.
13) Don’t study the day before the test. And make sure to visit the test center at least a week before the test. Bring ear plugs to the test center if noise will be an issue. Get used to studying with them if you do though.
14) Create regular review sessions where you go over all the questions you got wrong on a weekly basis. Make a binder or something similar.
