What was your approach while practicing questions in SC and CR ? I mean should i firstly finish all the topics and then practice questions at the end of the sc grail and from OG13 or should i practice them topicwise ?

My $0.02
I think it's always a good idea to firstly practice questions topicwise. Do a topic, practice question from that. Rinse and repeat. That's the way to go!

Ya, I practiced questions topicwise from sc grail 3rd edition so that I could save the OG questions for the regular practice. What I didn't want to do is start with OG for learning concepts topicwise. I wanted to use OG only for practice.

OG questions are the best. Firstly do the SC Grail topic plus the questions at the end of it and then move to OG13.

FWTW, I also practice questions topicwise. It doesn't make sense to practice them randomly. I pick a topic,go through it from the grail series and then do the practice topicwise

I think practicing questions topicwise is the way to go- it really helps you master that particular area.

Agreed. The same goes for quant also or for that matter any area in life in which you are weak in- focus on one thing, master it, move on to the next thing. That's the mantra of success

That's the very strategy that I have been able to improve my quant score and even the verbal score

I am about to take the GMAT in another 2 weeks and I'm wondering what should be my gameplan for the last 2 weeks. I have done 4 MGMAT tests so far. Apart from the remaining 2 MGMAT and the GMATPREP series, should I be doing something else

Good luck with your exam!

I believe your question is slightly a 10,000 feet level question, because the obvious recommendation would be to work on your relatively weaker areas for the next 2 weeks. So, if you had shared with us your scores in the mocks that you have given so far, it would have helped the experts give more specific advice.

Anyway, on the basis of the information that you have provided, I would think you should do the following:

i) Focus on relatively weaker areas
ii) Don't completely ignore your strong areas
iii) There are a total of 4 GMATPrep tests. Exhaust all of them.
iv) I have read on some of the forums that you should not give any mock in the 2-3 days before the exam.
v) Have a very light day, on the day just before the exam and don't strain too much
vi) Visit the forums a lot, and read the responses, especially in the 700+ category.
vii) If you have been maintaining the error log, make sure you go through it.

Very good advice. I think you have summed it up very nicely.
