GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

Hello everybody. I am a European non-native english, who just registerd at GMATClub and want to tell you my story, see what you think (any advice is handy)
I have been working at a Big4 Firm during the last 5 years, which means around 50-60 weekly hours of commitment. I tried studying for the gmat during 3 months, and only obtained a 470 score several months ago, (though to be honest I couldn't actually prepare for more than an hour daily during weekdays, and it wasn't that much quality time).
Here comes the turning point: I just had a leg injury that required surgery, so I now have 5 Full time weeks @ home without work (I assume I can study 7-8 quality hours / day), and then 3 weeks where I can only count with weekends (and maybe 1h daily of preparation) before the test.
I "only" need a 600 score to enter my dream BS... My questions are:
Is it rational to believe that I can make it (score increase of 130 points in the alloted time frame of 2 months)?
What free material should I use? (I prepared for my previous test with 1997-99 GMAT material however I noticed that the questions in the exam had absolutely nothing to do).
Thank you in advance for your answers,

Hey its definely possible to go from 470 to 600 in 2 months...especially with the amount of tym u have (luckily??) due to ur leg injury....
my advice:
1.download the free GMAT prep FREE software if u havent already...from the official GMAT site:
https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx. There is also an option of buying and additional pack of 400 questions at $25.
2. I know u asked for free material, but u should buy the official guide 13th edition ....or 12th edition. Its not optional, its a must.
3. Thursdays wth Ron FREE vedios by manhattan GMAT test preperation company....these are an absolute goldmine....however, i reccomend you go thru the basics at least, before starting on Ron's vedio as he assumes a basic understanding of the topics covered https://www.manhattangmat.com/thursdays-with-ron.cfm
IMO this should be enough to bring 470 to 600....however if u still find u need more indepth guidance, u should check out MGMAT guides
All the best!

Thank you very much for your advice!
I just downloaded the GMAT prep Free software (I couldn't even practice those questions during my first attempt 4 months ago!)
I also just bought the official guide 13th edition (should be home in 8-16 days) enough time to start studying the basics (which I sincerely believe I lack), any clue over where to learn the very basics in no more than 2 weeks? then I can start following Ron every other thurs.
I will continue to update with my progress,
Thanks!
