I just registered myself for the GMAT so that I can actually start studying for it and stop procrastinating.
I registered for the test with 82 days left . Now I am at 70 days left .
In the twelve days I only did research ordered the manhattan strategies 9 books and bought the self paced Princeton review course online .
As soon as I registered for the test the next day being a Sunday and knowing nothing about the gmat I just started a practise test and scored 300 , I did the test just like that and had constant botherations and disturbances from the house and also checked my phone from time to time .
Should I take the 300 score seriously as means to what my worth would be in the gmat ?
Also till now I have only did research on how to study etc etc and yesterday only started studying properly . I have started with sentence correction in the Manhattan test strategies prep and simultaneously watching some videos online ,
I am getting too confused and nervous , is my approach alright ?
Please help
Is going through all the Manhattan strategy books , the official gmat guide and Princeton review course more than enough ? And I should stop watching YouTube videos ?
I am losing confidence in myself and feeling like the gmat is something very tough and that I won’t be able to do it , I am
Not a dumb guy I am also a working professional running my own two businesses but I can take out time from 6pm onwards towards studying
I have now 70 days left , can someone please tell me what to do and I’ll follow that blindly as that should be my strategy to prep
Awaiting a positive and eager response guys

Hi,
We can not consider the score 300 which you got in a mock test as you know nothing about GMAT.
You can crack GMAT or not depends on how much time you can study on a daily basis? What is your target score? What split you got in the mock?
I will suggest that you should clear your basic concepts and then give a mock. So you will get a clear picture.
For Critical Reasoning you can use CR Powerscore Bible. For Sentence correction and RC you can use Manhattan.
I hope it helps.
All the best!!

Don't be disheartened. Gmat test certain concepts in Verbal which we rarely use in daily spoken or written language. Go with your instinct. Would suggest you to go through First full Manhatten books and Concepts which you should know will be tested from OG, Do basic practice math from this forum 500 level and after 15-20 days touch 600 level.
You should study concept first and then apply on problems, don't rush to problems, If you are good at math, It will take you 15-20 days to absorb all concepts and verbal will take a bit more time, Download resources from this forum like Math books, GMATCLUB grammar book, It will help you in getting to know Fine details you should look at questions.
Follow bunuel for math, for Verbal you can follow generis, Manhattenprep instructor, Egmat and many more.
If you think to take some course first do study what course has to offer, Don't blindly go for reviews, as everybody has its own need. I am studying on all free resources available. Gmatclub has ocean of free resources. Use it.
Practice, Practice and maintain error log where you are doing wrong.
Practice 2 RC questions daily after your study gets over, Powerscore CR bible is useful if you are getting problem in CR, If you don't have time to read book, many have made notes of that. Download and read. But this should be done if you already have pretty good hand on CR and have practiced at least 100 ques already. Otherwise you can read book to understand concept.
Always go from 500 -600 -700, If you think you directly want to solve 700 ques and see your caliber, you will be demotivated.
Best of Luck Studying. Just remember, GMAT don;t test your knowledge, It test your skills to solve and come out with solution as quickly as possible it ques are embedded with Tricks
