Hi Siga.

Your quant and verbal prep will take care of most of what you need for IR. So, you may not need to do much more for IR in order be ready achieve your IR score goal. At the same time, there are some skills unique to IR that you'll need. So, it makes sense to spend some time doing IR practice questions to become comfortable using the table sorting functionality, reading the graphs, and doing the other things necessary for correctly answering IR questions. This practice could take anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks.

Regarding the AWA, many people spend just a few hours preparing for the AWA, though if your English writing skills are not particularly strong, then it may make sense for you to work on your essay writing skills over the course of a week or two. To prepare for the AWA, you can find an essay template and write a couple practice essays in accordance with the template.

Hi Siga,

Most reputable GMAT study materials will include lessons/practice for the AWA and IR sections of the GMAT - so depending on the study materials that you are currently working with, you might already have the additional materials that you are looking for.

Based on your prior posts, it sounded as though you were just beginning your studies. Is that true; have you done any studying so far?

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
