The material you have mentioned is sufficient for preparation.You can use Powerscore CR bible for concept building.
Please keep in mind, concept building is more important than practicing questions.

Best wishes.

Planning to study from the following resources (self, no classes)

Quant

Manhattan All the Quant for basics and concepts
GMAT OG Quant for practice
GMAT Advanced Quant for extra practice

Verbal
Manhattan Sentence Correction
GMAT OG Verbal

Overall
GMAT OGs from last 2-3 years depending on how much practice I feel I need
GMAT OG advance Questions

Online practice test series (TPR or mba com)

Are these enough? Any must do's that I'm missing here?
And any recommendations for online practice tests?

Posted from my mobile device
Material you are referring is enough. Add Powerscore CR bible if your CR is not good.
More importantly following a study plan is necessary.
Practice questions from all levels as you complete topics.

Hi j4gmat96,

I’m glad you reached out, and I’m happy to help. Since you seem to be just starting out, do you plan to take a practice exam to get a baseline score? Also, do you need any general advice on how to improve your GMAT quant and verbal skills? Lastly, you may find it helpful to read the following article:

Hi j4gmat96,

From what you've described, your study plan appears "book heavy"; unfortunately, many GMATers who study in that way end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level. Even the best books are limited in what they can teach you; they also can't force you to approach questions in a certain way and their explanations are often one-sided. There's no harm in starting off your studies in that fashion, but you'll likely end up needing to invest in some additional, non-book resources at some point.

Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
