This is my first attempt at taking a CAT based exam, and I haven't spent much time other than reviewing basic algebra concepts. I have loaded up on the Kaplan math workbook, the OG 11 (yellow/orange), and the OG 11 quant, the MGMAT quant books (and SC), an old algebra book. I also have all of the testmasters LSAT books for CR/RC. I'm debating when to set my test date. I'd like to apply for schools this fall, for the following fall.
On to the exam I took today -- I saw a few pretty hard coordinate geometry problems that I was not sure how to solve, and I had a few arithmetic sequence problems I didn't know how to solve either. I want to make sure to take the AWA's in all my practice CATs because of the time and endurance required for the exam. One good thing, after taking the exam today I was not exhausted, I had the energy to some of the quant material, I think I'll finish reviewing the rest tommorrow.
Quant is my weakness, with a 30 I really need to work on this and bring it up to 44+. I think a 34 verbal is ok, but if I can get that to a 40 I'd be really happy.
I want to apply to California based UC's for a program in real estate finance/development.
I know it's early in the game and want to take my GMAT in either July or August. I plan to spend 4-6 hours a day on avg studying.

Don't worry too much about your first GMAT Prep score. It's like drawing a line in the sand. You can look back and see where you were to begin with, but it can be blown away in the wind so it doesn't matter. Getting ready for the actual thing is what matters, and you're doing that.
If you're weak in the quant, then focus on that. Start an error log showing the type of question and which part of it you got wrong. This will help you track your weakest areas within quant. My problem is sets and comb/perm. I've got a vacation day set for June 4th, but am thinking of pushing back the date. With the time you've got before you take it, you'll be fine. I took the GMAT the first time before ever coming to GMATClub. I was taking Kaplan's Preimeire program out of the book available at Barns & Noble. I think I was getting mid 500s before I took the GMAT and got a 650 on it.
Be confident. Don't stress out. Take prep seriously. Go over Sentence Correction (SC) and pay close attention. Read them outloud as well. There are somethings that may sound ok when read to yourself, but when read outloud, the problems jump out at you. Of course, you can't do that on test day, but if you practice like that, the problems will be apparent without reading them outloud. (This advice doesn't really apply if you're not a native english speaker. If that's the case, Sorry, I don't have advice for that as I am a native english speaker).
How did you do on Data Sufficieny? There seems to be something about the way those questions are strucutred that mess with me. I seem to get those wrong the msot often.

Exactly. 470 to 710. When you're done with your prep you'll laugh at the questions that you missed before.
