Hi guys,
I gave my first attempt at GMAT on 22 January 2014. Prior to taking the GMAT I was studying for Common Admission Test (CAT). My study for the GMAT was only limited to the OG 13th Edition, that too I had solved all the quant questions. But in verbal I was only able to complete 100% SC, 60% CR and 5 or 6 RCs. This was majorly because of time constraints and I thought my preparation for CAT would aid me in my GMAT. Coming to the my score -
Verbal - 31/60%
Quant - 44/61%
Total - 620/68%
IR - 5/52%
*I was scoring 560-580 in my mocks.
Post my attempt in January, I had joined Jamboree (in March 2014) for GMAT coaching. I completed their classroom course, but have not been able to complete the study material given by them. Because of all this, work pressure and time constraints, I have not been able to give adequate time and thought to giving a second attempt.
Now, I plan to give a second attempt (with a target of atleast 730), hence I want your suggestion - how should I go about it? What books should I refer? What course, if necessary should I choose?
Thank you.
Your first attempt was 1.5 yrs back and coaching was more than 1 year back. Did you study off and on during this time? If you are kicking off your preparation after a long time, you need to take a full length practice test first. Figure out where you stand right now and that will help you identify the suitable way forward.

Get back with the score and we can give you suitable advice.
I have been studying off and on. But no consistency or plan of action.
