Hi
Just to give a background info before, I started my prep in January but due to some issues couldn't continue
And now I have lost confidence in whatever I have done
What should be my exact approach for resuming the prep?
I was thinking of first completing Quant (in around 10 days) and then entire verbal as verbal is my weaker part and keeping it fresh in my brain might help. Is this a good approach?
Another approach that I thought - Complete RC first then quant+CR simultaneously and then SC at last (I hadn't touch SC during my prep before). Should I prefer this approach ?
Edit - I don't have a hard deadline but want to get over with GMAT in 30-40days.

Hi abhikap14,
Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so if you are now re-starting your studies after such a lengthy time 'off' - and you were not that comfortable with the overall GMAT back in January - then you will likely need more than another 30-40 days of study time to get to the point that you can consistently score at a reasonably high level. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level - but it sounds as though we'll need to analyze your prior studies in more detail (so that we can determine the specific issues you were facing during your earlier studies).
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on your prior studies and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long did you study earlier? How many hours were you typically studying each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
