Hi Natalia,

Your general plan sounds fine, but I'm a bit concerned that you're taking a 'book-heavy' study approach. 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. In the long run, you'll be better served practicing questions in the same format that they'll appear on Test Day, so investing in some computer-based resources (that will also emphasize tactical training) would be advisable.

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

Well, what I was planning tomorrow on is to start practicing using the gmat club forum. So, doing groups of questions (10 problem solving and 10 data sufficiency). Then, seeing in which group I perform worse (PS or DS), and in each of the groups on which types of problems (e.g. rate, number properties, combinations, algebra etc).

I am done with the books! I only went through Manhattan and gmat club math book once (which took me 3 days and 1 day to revise) - only to remember the theories, some of the formulas and some of the tricks and hacks. Now I will only revisit theory when and if I see that there is a comprehension issue.

So, from now on it is only solving problems (after this week timed) and doing CATs until I take the test in the mid of August. I already have 2 remaining online CATs I had bought from one of the companies I like, and I am planning to buy a fresh batch of CAT tests after July. If everything goes according to plan I will do 5 CAT tests (4 in July and 1 in August - perhaps another one in the last week of June).

Thank you so much for your advice! I appreciate it! :)
