Hey guys,
I have roughly one month ahead before I take the GMAT (October 21st) and I'd like to get your opinion on my study plan for these last weeks. I took my first GMATPrep test a few days ago and got a 700 (Q49, V37), and I am hoping I still have enough time left to improve my score by 30-40 points (Q50, V40 would be good enough for me). I'm aiming for a 720 at the very minimum.
So far I've been focusing on the quant section, and I already did all the questions from OG 2015 and the Official Quant Review. Those problems I missed or took me too long to solve I did twice, making sure I knew what my mistakes were and how to solve them efficiently. I usually waited a few weeks before I tried them again. I also went through all 5 Manhattan guides and the gmatclub math book.
With regard to the verbal section, I did around 30 RC questions and 80 CR questions from OG 2015 and got an accuracy of 92% and 85% respectively. SC was my strength so I decided to leave it aside until the last month of preparation. I also went through both the CR and the RC Manhattan guides.
Now, let's jump ahead to what's important, the study plan.
- I intend to go over Manhattan's Advanced Quant Guide in about a week or so. I'd also like to buy the GMAT Question pack to keep practicing real questions at the same time.
- I want to read Manhattan's SC guide and do all the remaining verbal questions in about one week.
- I'll probably spend the third week reviewing and understanding all the mistakes I made in the previous two weeks.
- For the last week and a half, I'm thinking I could do the second GMATPrep test and the two tests on the Official GMAT Exam Pack. I only did 4 full tests in my 2 and a half months of preparation, so I feel that I need to build up some stamina.
So what do you think? Is it realistic? Do you think it is a good approach and that it can help me get my target score? I'd really appreciate your comments.

This sounds like a good plan and looking at your mock CAT scores, I think you will be able to hit your target score.
The only change I would recommend is to incorporate the mock CATs in between.
Do not leave them for the last wee k as by doing so, you will not be able to improve upon the mistakes that you will make in the tests.
At max, you can attempt one mock CAT in the last week to get in the groove, but try to attempt the remaining ones in the weeks before.
Also, I would suggest you to prepare an error log, so that you can learn from your mistakes.

I wouldn't spend time on that , I went through that book, most of it is the same stuff as in regular MGMAT books, with the exceptions of a couple very difficult problems and obscure concepts. Your Q score is already good. Just buy gmap prep question bank and go through those questions and review the Q and V you got wrong. You should be focusing on V anyway your quant is good.
