New to GMAT preparation.. exam in 3 months. Need guidance.

Hi Rhea446,

If you can take out 2-3 hours on weekdays and 6-7 hours on the weekends then this is enough for your test in September. If you finished the practice test 20 minutes early in both the sections then the result will not represent your true level. Try to take another test under strict testing conditions then see what the score comes. A jump from 500 to 730 is a huge one, but this can be achieved and you have enough time for that.

Your high level study plan looks good to me but, you may want to go through this post - gmat-study-plan-how-to-start-your-gmat-prep-80727.html to figure our your ideal study plan. Whichever study plan you should choose, you must see an improvement in your performance/ skill level, otherwise it is not working for you. I would suggest that you break your goal from 500 to 600 then after achieving 600, to 650 then to 700 and to 700+. You should also take one test every 3 weeks initially to determine your progress, even if you have some topics untouched.

Lastly do maintain an error log to keep track of questions that you got incorrect and other specific topics that you find difficult and may want to revisit in future. This log will be really helpful during the last three weeks of your prep. All the best !!!
