Hi Nilgirio72,
From what you describe, your immediate study plan is 'book heavy'; unfortunately, many GMATers who study in that way end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level. 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 that Score, you should post 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 and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Thanks for the input Rich.
Unfortunately i have wasted a practise test in MBA com.
I had no idea about the test/material allowed and thought everything was mental calculations. So just gave the first test on a whim at 0200 in the night very very casually. In between my child woke up multiple times and had to pause the test to tend to her. Also i ended the test when i was finished but did not get a score.
I did manage to get about 78% correct answers with 2-3 questions wrong in almost all sections. MOST OF THE WRONG ANSWERS WERE THE EASY ONES.
So i want to get the concepts and basics right and then move on to questions solving and timing.
Thanks
