HI ,
i have my Gmat scheduled on the 9th of June,2018. I have been preparing for the gmat for a few weeks now and planned to write it earlier but since my cat scores did not meet my expectations i postponed my test date. My target score is 700, But my practice tests have ranged from 550-610, with the highest being 650. Q 44 V 37 - [Although this was the Princeton review test which was relatively easy compared to Veritas/Kaplan]
I currently use the OG guide, Princeton review books, Kaplan Premium 2018 and Jamboree books.
OG guide - the version i have is 2017 - is it enough ? or should i purchase the recent edition?
Princeton Review - I have found these books to be really helpful, especially for Quant since it covers all the fundamentals and is also very easy to understand. however the verbal section did not help me much
Jamboree - only for practice questions, not really for technique.
Kaplan - used it for both Quant and verbal, definitely more advanced than Princeton Review.
Veritas - Online videos for Verbal really helped, Dint go through their math section
I still seem to be struggling a lot to pace through the test, on an average i miss 3-4 questions on each section, Since i am still not comfortable with the right "technique" to use and spend far too much time on some questions. i already feel overwhelmed with so many books but i see that there are buckloads of materials out there and it is really confusing if i should get any more to improve my technique and ditch some of the books i already have or just hold onto the what i already have
please advice

Definitely get a hold of the practice tests from mba.com - take one as a diagnostic to kickoff your studies and to identify where your strengths and weaknesses are.
From there, practice with Official Guide questions - you can get a hold of any edition - we recommend at least OG13 or anything after that. Most versions are very similar.
You may find yourself in need of supplemental resources or questions. For that, we recommend this online question bank: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-test/
You can also take a practice online test here: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... ctice-test
If you need some guidance from an expert, consider a private tutor. Or for something more cost-effective, find an online course that fits your learning style. Everyone's preference is different so what works for someone else might not work for you. So do your research and find what works for you.

Hi khaleesi16,
Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so if you've preparing for just a few weeks, ten it's likely that you just have not put in enough time and effort yet to score higher. In addition, many Test Takers who use a 'book heavy' study approach end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level. While it's probably too early to say whether that has happened to you or not - you'll likely end up needing to invest in some new, non-book resources to hit your Score Goal. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
2) Did you take the FULL CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
Goals:
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
