I decided about a month ago that I wanted to go to B-School in Europe this fall.
Since then I have spent about 60 hours completing the Economist's self-study course. And have completed 6 CATs.
I have also been doing Kaplan and GMAT Club Questions of the Day as Well.
My Concern is that I haven't done much of the OG, Probably about 50-60 Questions if so many. I have about 20-25 Hours of material left on the Self-Study Course. Including some very crucial topics (Half of Geometry, Permutations, Combinations, Rate, Statistics, Modifiers, Clauses, and Idioms). I have also shifted my schedule so I can dedicate 8+ Hours to the GMAT every day.
My plan is to complete about 3 Hours of course material a day over the next 7 days. Do and Error Log about 20-25 Questions From the OG every day. I'm going to dedicate a few hours to creating flash cards over the next week so that I can review a lot of the concepts in my final days of preparation. I also want to try to take 3 More CAT's. My goal is to get 700+ on the GMAT.
Do you think there is anything I should change or add in my study strategy, would love to get some input?
CAT Scores
1.) Economist CAT 1 (Q38 V24) 510
2.) Economist CAT 2 (Q43 V21) 530
3.) GMAT Prep 1 650 (Q47 V33) 650
4.) Kaplan Free Cat (Q42 V34) 630
5.) Veritas Free Cat (Q44 V31) 620
6.) Economist CAT 3 (Q49 V33) 660
I am fully confident that if I had 3 more months to study I could get myself into to the 700 range, but unfortunately I have 14. I believe in myself but I need some guidance. Anything would be much appreciated!

Hi Navski ,
Since there are 6 GMAT Prep tests , you should probably stick to those as they are the most accurate representation of the GMAT .
14 days is a little less a time to score 700 + given where you are currently stand .
You should focus on your weak areas in the verbal
- SC - e-GMAT and Manhattan SC - It can be improved in the least amount of time
- CR - Powerscore , e-GMAT , MGMAT Ron's videos
- RC - It will the most difficult section to improve
Quant - Consolidate on your strong areas and focus on weak areas
- Statistics , Geometry , Word problems , Coordinate geometry - Can be improved with lesser effort
- Number theory , Counting , Probability - Comparatively more effort is needed
Hope this helps!!

Honestly, prepping too much in the last few days such as the situation you described would only lead to a burnout. Sure, some of the basics can be learnt and some tricks can be picked up. But, this exam needs a consistent plan over a few months. Do you have the option to reschedule now?
