Hi All,
I am gonna be strarting my prep for GMAT... And 'll be very thankfull to you if you could suggest me to the right path. This week I was hovering thru Princeton review. I did go thru the PR GMAT warm-up exam and got 34/40. Should I take another exam to find my strong and week points and then go from there or should I go ahead and start working with Manhattan SC and OG for verbal and quant, before taking any real exam to gauge myself.
If somebody can provide us with the right approach that will be great. Also 'll be very thanks full if you guys can go thru the deadline of taking GMAT, writing essays and applying for 2009.
Thanks much in advance.

Once you're familiar with the format of the test, take one of the practice tests from GMATprep - download the software at mba.com
This will give you a good base score and understanding of which section you need to work more on and which sections you may not need to work on as much.
Then review the questions you missed - this will give you some idea of what core concepts you need to review.
Then go through the books, and take a practice exam every now and then to see improvements (note that different CATs will give different scores, so take the actual scores with a grain of salt, except for the GMATprep scores; GMATprep is extremely accurate/predictive of your actual performance).
remember to categorize/record every single practice question you do in any of the work books, figure out what you're missing, learn the concepts behind these questions, and keep going.
When your practice test scores are in the range of your ideal score - take the test.
If you do it right, then this should take around 2-3 months (to go from 6xx to 700ish).
If you're already scoring in the low 7xx on the initial GMATprep exam (meaning you've got a pretty good foundation/fundamental understanding of the concepts), focus your study on your weak area (DS/PS/SC/RC/CR) and the drill those and the concepts behind the questions.
You'll need probably 2 weeks to go from the a low 7xx score to a mid/high 7xx score if you can address your 1~2 weak areas.

Thanks Jason thanks alot for your reply. A follow-up question:
When you say go thru books .. what books do you mean. I am planing to get the Manhattan and Kaplan workbook. I wanna keep OG as last one.
Also if you can shed some light on timelines for GMAt, essays and application .. that will be great. I am planing to go in 2009. What should be the latest by which I should have my GMAT score ready to be in the 09 queue.
thanks
