I just started off my studies by doing the diagnostic test in the OG 11 and got excellent on all parts except SC, that was definitely my weak part being a foreigner. I feel pretty confident about the quant theory but really need to get some speed solving the problems. Do you think its better to start off with Kaplan Premiere as recommended or just work through the OG material (including the green and purple) and the Manhattan guides. I planned to buy all the Kaplan books but now got a feeling that the Advanced guide may be enough.
Welcome to GMAT Club Akopian!
See this guide for some of the questions you have asked:
gmat-study-plan-for-gmat-novices-start-your-gmat-journey-80727.html(I think it is best to save OG's for the end). You need to take GMATprep to really understand where you are and where you need to go. You may be there already
And then this one for help with timing:
