I've been studying on and off for the past few years, but I'm ready to give the GMAT my full focus and attention now. I took the actual GMAT once (just to get familiar with the setting. I didnt do much studying). My verbal score was 36 (81%). Quant, I didnt give much attention to so I did poorly on that section (below 50th percentile).
Right now, I'm focused on getting my Verbal score in the 90th percentile and above, and getting quant in the 70s or 80th percentile.
Here are the resources I have:
My initial plan is to read through all of the Manhattan Prep books and CR Bible, doing the questions in there, and then doing practice questions in the Verbal and Quant guides. After that, what should my next approach be? I would like to take a CAT after I go through the books, but I'm wondering what is the best strategy to utilize the review material I have.
My end target score is 700-730, and I plan to apply to business school in Fall 2019

Hi Blazethrough14,
Since you took the GMAT over a year ago, you took it in the 'old format.' This past April, GMAC shortened the Quant and Verbal sections (fewer questions in each section and less overall time to answer those questions), so it would be a good idea for you to take a NEW, FULL-LENGTH CAT in the current format, so that we can get a sense of your current skills, strengths and weaknesses. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
1) What is your goal score?
2) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?

1) What is your goal score? At least a 700. Goal is 720.
2) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week? 2-3 hours a night during the week; 5-6 hours on the weekend.
I will take a NEW, full-length CAT. What are the best ones to take? If I recall correctly, you get 2 tests from MBA.com and I have the OG guide too.
Where else can I find CATs in the new format. I have the 6 exams from Manhattan GMAT, but those are in the old format I believe.
