Hi Blazethrough14,
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 download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying, 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 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can talk through your study plan.
With your tentative 'window' to take the Official GMAT, you've given yourself plenty of time to study, which is good. Most Test Takers who take a 'book-heavy' study approach tend to get 'stuck' at a particular score level, so you're likely going to have to invest in some additional non-book resources. You'll also likely need to take more CATs than the 2 that you've planned for.
