Hi guys, feeling a bit down. I have been studying for the GMAT but in a very unstructured manner. Didn't do very many examples and mainly studied quant theory, as it was seriously rusty(still is given my score). I also went away for 3 weeks on holiday and didn't study then at all, so forgot a lot of the content. I just completed a test on the GMATprep software and I got 460( V27 Q27 IR4), which is ghastly.
I have also just signed up to E-GMAT Live Prep, which seems to have great reviews. As a part of the deal, they also gave me free access to 800score and GMAT Club Tests. In addition, I have bought the OG 2018 guides(collection). I don't really want to spend much more on content and I feel this should be enough? E-GMAT give you a program to follow so I will probably use that, however I was wondering how I should use 800Score and GMAT Club Tests, do you think I should try and do one test from each program once per week? Or do you think this would be too much.
Lastly, I also want to try and achieve a score of 650-680 within 4 months, do you think this is a bit unrealistic?. I am planning to study 2-3 hours per day. I intend on taking the GMAT on the 15th of November. My dream program would be the London Business School MiM(LBS) or IE MiM and I know you need a minimum score of 600 to apply for LBS.
Thanks so much

It is definitely realistic to achieve 650-680 within 4 months.
In my opinion, GMAT Club Tests are for people who generally have mastered the basics (generally around 600+ on GMATprep) and is ready to step on to the next level. I will suggest on purchasing the 6 MGMAT quant books for a start, their online questions and explanations are very helpful.
You cannot be wrong on E-GMAT for your verbal, I suggest that you should finish up all the lessons and videos from E-GMAT before moving on to the questions. It is completely normal if your understanding on verbal isn't spot on yet after you have finished the E-GMAT lessons, however you will definitely have better understanding afterwards. Don't expect yourself to answer everything correctly even after you have finished E-GMAT lessons. After you realize you answer some questions incorrectly, re-visit the related explanations and try to understand them. Repeat the processes until you are confident.
Let me know if you have other questions. Hope this helps

Hi,
first of all it is realistic to get 650-700 in 4 months prep, the only thing you need is focus, determination and good practice
For quant, i will suggest you Manhattan (it helps build basics) Ian steart (counting, stats and number properties books), Gmatclub quant and tests, OG
Bunuel is the best source of quant at gmatclub...I dont like 800score but i really love gmatclub tests...awesome++
for verbal
Powerscore CR bible is best for concepts, Veritas CR are too good
for RC, again i will suggest Veritas RC book and practice at least 5 RC's daily
For SC: nothing is better than manhattan SC guide
E-gmat another best source for non-native english speakers. Their verbal course is awesome
