Last Month Study Plan

Hi Yzreel.

The first thing that comes to mind regarding your plan is to say that, when you have the time off from work, you may find that you have limits to how many hours per day you can prepare. So, just be careful regarding your expectations regarding how those two weeks will go.

Regarding your plan overall, it sounds reasonable, and I have some suggestions.

One is that, since you want strengthen your foundations, be sure to do much of your quant and verbal practice untimed. When you practice untimed, you give yourself time to learn to go through the motions that lead to success. For more on how to practice for best results, see this post.

Another is to shoot for high accuracy when practicing. All too often, GMAT aspirants think they're on their way to their score goals when they're achieving 70 to 80 percent practice accuracy on average. 70 to 80 percent average accuracy isn't high enough. It's OK for hard questions, but not for easy or medium question. For easy questions, shoot for close to 100 percent accuracy, and for medium 80 percent is the minimum, but in verbal, you're better off shooting for 90 percent accuracy in medium if you want to achieve a V38+ score. If you need to spend 10 minutes or more on a question sometimes to achieve that accuracy, go ahead. High accuracy is paramount.

Regarding practice tests, your plan for those makes sense, but take some official ones too so that you develop an accurate sense of the GMAT.
