Hi everyone,
I am contacting you as I need a bit of help in regards to putting together a study plan.
I have 2 months to prepare for my GMAT exam, I already took a CAT and my score is 500. I took another test on a website that I found on the first pages of Google and I scored 600. The school I want to apply to is asking me for a score of 530, but I'd like to aim higher than this.
Where should I start from? I was planning on buying the GMAT Official Guide 2018 as a starting point.
Do you have any other suggestions?
I'd really appreciate your help.
Wishing you all a good day.
Silviu

Hey sildoroftei
Since you are beginning with preparation, I would recommend you to do the following things.
It makes sense to clear your concepts for every topic and then follow it up with some practice.
To build your concepts, you could use Manhattan Guides for Verbal and Quant. The Official Guide
has some good practice questions but the theory on that book is not enough to build concepts.
Additional links/books for Verbal
You could use the PowerScore CR bible to get a basic understanding of how the CR section works.
For RC, you could refer to the below given link
https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-club-s- ... 83101.html
As for practice, you can find all the questions at GMATClub. You should use the Timer to time
yourself once you are familiar with the concepts.
Quant Section Preparation
Follow Bunuel. Solve all the questions in his signature. They contain some awesome questions
that give you the true taste of GMAT(Baker's Dozen, 12 Easy Pieces etc..)
Even otherwise, make sure you solve each and every question he puts up on the forum.
Link to GMAT Quantitative Mega-Thread(beneficial in understanding concepts)
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ultimate-gma ... 44512.html
Last but not the least, you could check out our study plan:

Hi sildoroftei,
There's a significant difference between a 500 and a 600. Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, I have a few questions about the 2 practice CATs that you took. Before we can talk about the type of study plan you might need, we need to know which score is closer to your current 'ability level.'
When you took these CATs:
1) What were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for these 2 CATs?
2) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
3) Did you take them at home?
4) Did you take them at the same time of day as when you plan to take your Official GMAT?
5) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)?
6) Did you ever take a CAT more than once? Had you seen any of the questions BEFORE (re: in an online forum or in a practice set)?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
