Hello fellow GMATters!
I'll get right to the point. I've been trying, rather unsuccessfully, to study for the GMAT for the past year (sometimes on, mostly off).
I've taken leave from work for about 6 weeks and will give my GMAT on 1st Feb. As of now, I've just been revising all the things I've known at some point of time (I hate getting a question wrong just because I've forgotten how to do it) - mostly in Math. I'd made some flashcards with all the points I don't remember, have not gone through them in months.
Point is, I'd like you to evaluate my plan.
Over the next 1.5 weeks, I plan on:
1. Revising/practicing [strike]Time/Speed/Distance, Work, Averages/Mixtures/Alligations[/strike], Probability, P&C, Geometry.
2. Give a couple of GMATClub tests (on 24th - free access) and 1-2 practice tests from Kaplan.
Once all this is done, I will go through whatever's left on OG12 (about 30-40% of questions).
And in the remaining 3 odd weeks I have left, I will take Kaplan/MGMAT/GMATPrep tests, do OG's Verbal & Quant Supplements and practice questions from GMATClub.com free tests, Grockit.com (free), [strike]GMATHacks.com & Tenaday.co.in[/strike]
I also have BTG Premium account, which I'm planning on using for target practice - will keep analysing my error log and see which questions I need to focus on.
What do you guys think of this plan?
I'll have to change it a bit here and there depending on what my error log tells me to work on. But this is what I have in mind at the moment. What do you think?

Some random tips:
1. I think you should be using only GMATPrep software to test where you are. Ensure you take it atleast twice over the next month.
2. Considering using the MGMAT quant books. According to me those are best if your background is not very quantitative (BA in eco as I understand).
3. Try to get your hands on more genuine GMAT questions - preferably questions from GMATPrep. These are questions you will find on the net. In somecase people have even created documents out of them. Ensure you take this AFTER your 2nd GMATPrep test.
4. Don't waste too much time on CAT questions - for GMAT you don't need to get those kind of details. The way GMAT makes questions tough is different than CAT questions.
5. For Verbal the standard books are Manhattan for SC, Powerscore Bible for CR (I think its an overkill), and yes getting involved in the forums

Thanks psychodementia!
Who said eco is not quant heavy? i had taken up papers in math/stats, econometrics, etc. so i feel like i don't really need mgmat guides for quant.
1. ok, will not do too much frm CAT material, other than brushing up basics.
2. why GMAT Prep tests right now??? isn't it too early? or are u saying this cos my exam is 38 days away?
