Dear All,
I am planning to dive deep into my GMAT Focus Edition preparation, and as someone coming from a non-technical/non-engineering background, I have a few key strategic questions before I start. I would greatly appreciate it if any experienced prep veterans or experts could shed some light on these queries.
1. Preparation Timeline
Is 6–7 months of dedicated study generally sufficient for finishing the overall study material and securing a competitive GMAT Focus Edition score of 695+?
2. Material Integration Strategy
I have come across various prep materials (e.g., TTP, OG). What is the recommended strategy for integrating them?
3. Official Content Organization
Where can I find the solved Official Content (questions and explanations) arranged systematically by topic and difficulty level, specifically for the latest GMAT Focus Edition Official Guides?
4. Practice Question Source
Should I focus only on official questions for practice? If so, where can I find a question bank that is verified to contain only questions from the latest GMAT Focus Edition and not the previous GMAT versions?
I'm currently conflicted about my study approach: Should I focus rigorously on official content to master the precise question patterns, or should I also enroll in a prep company, despite concerns that their practice questions may not accurately mimic the official GMAT style. I'm struggling to choose my primary resource. Is the best strategy to practice only official questions to ensure I get used to the exact patterns and wording, or is the benefit of a prep company's structured learning (even with less precise questions) worth the trade-off?
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can offer!

I have come across various prep materials (e.g., TTP, OG). What is the recommended strategy for integrating them?
- Should I finish my primary prep material first and then attempt the Official Guide (OG) material later?
- Or, is it better to prepare simultaneously from both the primary course and the official sources?

Most reputable GMAT prep courses start with the most basic topics to help build your foundational skills. So, you likely don’t need any resources beyond a good prep course.
Regardless of which resources you decide to use, my biggest piece of advice is to ensure you are studying in a topical way. In other words, be sure you focus on just ONE topic at a time and practice just that topic until you achieve mastery. If you can study that way, I’m sure you will see improvement.
For each topic:
- carefully review all of the rules, strategies, properties, formulas, and techniques related to that topic
- locate and answer dozens of questions that test that topic.
For each question you answer incorrectly, ask yourself:
- Did I make a careless mistake?
- Did I incorrectly apply a related formula/property/technique?
- Was there a concept I did not understand in the question?
- Did I fall for a common trap? If so, what exactly was the trap?
By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to fix your weaknesses efficiently and, in turn, improve your skills. This process has been proven to be effective for all topics.

Timing wise, you are good. Would suggest to start with basics, do some questions on gmatclub and then go to OG. Starting with OG is not a good idea.
All the best!
