Hi,
I had started GMAT prep in march and studied regularly till June and even first week of July. I had virtually completed the Manhattan guides and almost the OG review 2016. Afterwards in July I went for a trip and along with that I am also in a confused state of mind regarding my job and career prospects and I am about to quit it soon since I am exhausted travelling for 4 hrs and not even liking the work. It's been 3.5 months in that job. Now maybe I am going to quit it next week. I have also a meeting scheduled with a career counsellor regarding the right job role for me and the GMAT as well. Now I want to get back to study mode and finish the rest of the material and the tests as well. Please guide me how to approach the preparation now hoping I do not forget the concepts.

Hi kreel11,
Here is a customized 2-3 month study plan that can help get you back on track: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... study-plan
Use this as a guideline. You don’t have to follow it exactly but the structure of the study plan should be the same structure that you take in your approach. This helps to optimize your retention and learning.
As you study, we recommend that you focus on one particular subsection for multiple consecutive days before moving onto the next. You can see this in our study plan where we recommend 5 days on nothing but SC -- before moving onto CR and then RC.
Here is a sample SC video to help you start your journey: https://www.gmatpill.com/sentencecorrect ... ythons.mp4
Best of luck - we are here to help.

The first piece of advice would be to take up another job after quitting this one. Schools do not really like people who prepare for the GMAT full time. Simple reason being all of the others do it with there job.
Coming to the GMAT Preparation,
You need to build the concepts/fundamentals before you jump in solving the problems. You can do so by choosing one of the following ways:
1. In person classes/private tutoring
2. Online classes
3. Self paced online preparatory course
4. Book heavy approach
You can either go back to the same course or take a new one. Most of the preparatory companies including ours offer a free trial of our course. You can take the trial and see if the course suits your needs.
In addition to the preparatory material, buy the Official Guides(both the Official Guide and the Verbal Review), Question Pack 1 and the 4 official mock CATs. They should be an indispensable part of your preparation.
You need close to 3 months to prepare well for the GMAT.
In addition, try to drill down deep into the problem types:
SC: The questions test various concepts such as S-V agreement, modifiers, parallelism etc. Find out what troubles you.
CR: There might be certain types of questions that are troubling you. May be Assumption, may be conclusion, inference etc.
You need to find that out and then practice them
RC: This again can be drilled down into different types of questions and also different topics. See what questions and topics trouble you the most and then practice accordingly.
Quants: Again try to break the questions in topics such as Algebra, Number system (very important), Geometry, PnC etc.
As an addition, start preparing an error log and keep a note of all the mistakes you made and the lessons you learnt from the problems. This will ensure you do not make the same mistake again.
