Folks,
I took GMAT around Nov 2009, and scored dismal 560 (Q33 V34), was quite disappointed, and kinda gave-up and shelved my MBA plans. I'm now pulling myself together for one last time, hoping to score at-least 680 - 700. As you can see from the score, I performed poorly in Quant, and need max effort/attention in that area.
I have been a silent surfer of this forum for some time now, gone thru several posts, and looking forward to actively get involved this time. Right now I'm looking to take GMAT around June 30th i.e. 2 months from now, but if I don't progress as expected I might push it down to early August. (Any thoughts?)
What I'm planning to do in next 4-6 weeks is to completely focus only on Quant, i.e. work thru Manhattan Quant study guides and OG-12. Review Questions/answers (error log?). Any suggestions or advice in this regard from fellow senior members/quant experts, who have gone thru this drill, will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I have a daily 9-6 full-time job, and am hoping to either spend an 1-2 hr in the night and 1 hr in the morning during the weekdays and 4 - 6 hrs over the weekend.
Thanks & Cheers to this wonderful community!

Hey,
Welcome back. I am planning to give exam by end of June too. I started studying a month ago but got serious in last 15 days only. I too have a 9-6 job so looks like we are on the same bus.
What materials are you referring to?
I have following
Quant:
1) OG 11,12
2) Princeton Review.
3) Kaplan
Verbal
1) Manhattan SC
2) Powerscore Bible.
3) OG Verbal.
4) For RC, I am thinking of buying Aristotle RC. I have read good reviews about it.
Also most important is to give practice test at regular intervals to gauge where you stand. There is a whole list of FREE test that you can give available on this site. I am planning to give Princeton Review Test first as it is of moderate difficulty.
Let's tame this beast once for all.

The +120 point increase is very much achievable. But, it will take time. I suggest you set aside 3 months to prepare for the test.
During the first month, focus on quant.
During the first half of the second month, focus on the weakest verbal question format.
During the second half of the second month, focus on the next weakest verbal question format.
During the third, and last, month, focus on writing one prep test a week in the following fashion:
Week 1 - Test 1
After writing the test, determine the question format in which your percentage accuracy is the lowest and focus on improving that area during that week.
Week 2 - Test 2
Again, determine the question format in which your percentage accuracy is the lowest and focus on improving that area during that week.
Week 3 - Test 3
Repeat the above step.
Week 4 - Test 4
Repeat the above step.
7 Days before the exam:
Take a prep test every alternate day. Use these tests to improve your stamina and also cover up any obvious deficiencies.
I hope this helps
