Hi, I don't have any fixed study schedule for GMAT. I am also not taking any coaching. I'm just referring to video lectures on Youtube to strengthen by fundamentals and practicing questions from GMAT CLUB question bank. On weekends I'm taking mock tests. But as you saw in my post. I'm scoring around ~585-605 and I have a long way to go in terms of score. So, I don't think I'm the best person to advice on the study plan :')
