Start from the first page of the first book in the OG bundle, dont proceed beyond after your told all the GMAT is about.

Then use the GMATPREP software and do a first full test to know your current level at the gmat.
Your result will tell you a lot, such as your weakest areas, your strongest areas. Then find a tutor or test prep that will help you.
The options are well advertised here. IF you prefer an online test prep, use one with an advanced and friendly user interface such as TTT, EmpowerGMAT, and for your own good ensure you testrun any testprep very well and get satisfied with what you are getting b4 you pay.

The OG Bundle contains questions you MUST use as you improve. The solutions therein won't help you much. The tutoring inside the books will ruin your morale. So stick to those official questions bcos it's the best undisputed questions closest to the actual exam questions. Find a tutor.

Patrick10 The Official guide with give you a great insight on the types of questions that the GMAT prompts in exam. While OGs are perfect material to begin with and end at for Verbal preparation, they don't represent the correct level of the harder questions of GMAT therefore, you must know that you can begin with OG for quant preparation but you can't end your prep with OG only because you need supplements from other quality questions as well. One such supplement is Official Advanced Guide by GMAC which gives you a good collection of hard questions. Other sources to refer are Manhattan and Veritas. The quant questions by most other sources are not worthy and might hurt your preparation more than help it. For quant, a very good sources is my Quant course which is at low cost and comprises all concepts in Video form. You can start with any particular topic to see the effectiveness and if you like it then upgrade to full course with just difference amount payment done within 15 days from subscription. In case you find more difficulty with self prep or self paced prep then consider taking private tutoring which might be expensive but will equip you with required knowledge in shortest possible time duration. We provide a very cost effective private tutoring and 70% of our student get score 700 or above in GMAT.

Hi Patrick,

Start by taking an official mock to see where you stand. Once you do that, start studying the concepts and the methodology of each topic. Only after you are done with these two, you have to move to practicing questions of that topic (You can use the official guides at this stage). GMAT is not a typical test in which just the conceptual knowledge is tested. It tests your application skills along with the conceptual knowledge. So, without learning the right methodology to solve questions, no matter how many questions you practice, your score will most likely remain stagnant. Make sure to focus more on the methodology during your preparation.

The right way to prepare for GMAT: 
You can go through the articles below to understand the right way to prepare for GMAT.
