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

I was originally planning to give the exam in June and after knowing I was not prepared and changing jobs this past summer, I rescheduled for Sep 04.
Plan on applying this fall for FT admission starting next fall 2013.
I just started prep again and trying to make the best use of my time.
I wanted to go through the OG13 book and do all the questions in the next 1.5 weeks, and than proceed to take 4-5 practice exams, and review all the questions right/wrong after each exam.
From your experience, is it better to go through the questions in the OG guide or just get straight into the practice tests/review questions?
I have 21 days, I would like to get this done, will slave as much as possible given the work schedule to complete this in time for RD.1 applications for a few schools.
Any guidance you have here will be more than helpful
Appreciate any and all input!
Thanks,
-Reg

HI,
Why are you rushing for the exam? Do you need to apply in Round1 itself?
Regarding the questions asked. Have you tried studying theory from Somewhere? As directly jumping into the questions might not be a good idea.
I will suggest you to study the following books and i guess you should be able to hit 650+
SC: manhattan SC
CR: Powerscore CR bible.
RC: am not sure. You can try RC99
Quant: Heard a lot about Manhattan books. If you are confident then don't read theory just start praciticing!
Practice:
grockit.com! (its a great resource as it give a timer for each and every question!)
Go over the theory for like 1.5weeks and then do practice for 3-4 days and then write mock tests!
Good Luck for your prep!
Hope it helps!

Thanks for the response baisap!.
Don’t necessairily need to apply in round 1, but reading articles like this, makes me think it’s a better idea https://poetsandquants.com/2012/06/21/he ... -expected/.
I will at least try to apply 2-3 of my top schools in round 1 if possible.
I have spent time going over theory, I went through the Manhattan books this past spring, but got unexpectedly busy and decided not to give the exam. I am going to spend as much possible time on it the next 3 weeks, would like to dedicate at least 5 hours/weekdays,10-12 hrs/weekends. All in all, would like to spend 100+ hours in the next 3 weeks.
What I am looking for is the best way to practice. I went through OG questions as suggested by the Manhattan books, but now I am considering either going straight to practice exams and reviewing the answers, or going over all the questions in the OG13 book, than taking 3-4 exams after reviewing.
The majority of the strategy’s I read about, sounds like the priority is on familiarizing yourself with the exam as much as possible and take as many practice tests as you can to review. I don’t necessarily agree and want to rebuild the fundamental base again first but for the sake of time, I want to spend every minute as effectively as possible.
Again, appreciate any input you can provide.
