GMAT Journey Beginners

Nice Gwamrz! Yeah, 750 will be tough, but it'll be worth it.

I'm kinda the same in regards to the Quant section. Definitely weaker than my Verbal.

I'm digging the study plan though! Never heard of the Brunel questions, so I'll have to check them out. Are you taking CATs each week? Highly recommend it to see how your progress changes overtime.

As far as study materials go, I'm using:
-Manhattan Prep Study Guides 0-9
-Official GMAT Guides (General, Quant-focus and Verbal-focus)
-Kaplan GMAT 800
-Kaplan GMAT Premier
-KapTest (Online CATs, etc.)

And, I ran across a download of some GMAT flashcards somewhere in the forums. Let me see if I can find it and I'll send your way!

Yep, I'm doing all self study. Hitting roughly 20-30 hours per week of study. I keep coming across all of these posts about test takers that studied for 120+ hours and achieved 700+ scores. Figured I'd try the same!

So, I studied twice a day, for a total of about 3 hours per day on weekdays and 4-5 hours per day on weekends. Here's roughly what I did:

Morning:
-100 topic specific problems, focusing on fundamental concepts (untimed, but usually no more than 20 minutes)
-Quick readthrough of GMAT Pocket Reference Guide (Quant section only) (20 minutes)
-Manhattan Prep, readthrough of 2 Quant-related Books + any related questions (45 minutes - 1.5 hours)
-Kaplan Premier Quantitative Strategy & Algebra problems (45 minutes - 1.5 hours)

Evening
-100 topic specific problems, focusing on fundamental concepts (timed and recorded - started out at 13 minutes timed, but trimmed to roughly 5-6 minutes)
-Quick readthrough of GMAT Pocket Reference Guide (Quant section only) (20 minutes)
-Official GMAT: Math/Quant Review questions (45 minutes - 1.5 hours)
-Manhattan Prep, readthrough of 2 Quant-related Books + any related questions (45 minutes - 1.5 hours)

*I also reviewed my diagnostic test to see where I needed the most improvement. So, I used that to inform what Quant sections I would study. I essentially went through as many concepts and problems in each readthrough until I wasn't making many mistakes.

**Track everything. I'd do a problem set of 25, time it and calculate the percentage score every time. This helped me immensely.

***I work as a digital analyst, but the math I use on a daily basis is a little different than what's included on the GMAT, so I knew I needed a refresher. To be honest, I saw the most improvement by just getting the fundamentals down and memorizing formulas.
