Hi Rahul,
That is a very comprehensive list of study material. However, I would recommend you to stick to just one course.
You need to build the concepts/fundamentals before you jump in solving the problems. You can do so by choosing one of the following ways:
1. In person classes/private tutoring
2. Online classes
3. Self paced online preparatory course
4. Book heavy approach
Whatever you choose, make sure that you choose one. Because GMAT tests you on some concepts and fundamentals that you can learn from a course.
In addition to the preparatory material, buy the Official Guides too and the 4 official mock CATs. They should be an indispensable part of your preparation.
You need close to 3 months to prepare well for the GMAT, so plan your studies accordingly.
You can find a study plan here:
gmat-study-plan-how-to-start-your-gmat-prep-80727.html?fl=menu1. Understand the concepts and fundamentals before jumping into problem solving
2. Solve full length CATs including AWA and IR. You can get two free GMAT Prep mock CATs and can purchase two more from mba.com
3. Make sure you solve the official questions from
the Official GuideAlso, I would recommend you to refrain from taking tests until you have gone through all the fundamentals. One you start taking them, keep the following things in mind:
1. Take the test including the AWA and IR
2. Try to take the test at the same time as your GMAT.
