Hello GMAT Club & World. I recently began to study for the GMAT, which I have tentatively scheduled for 3-months from now. I have yet to take a diagnostic test, but am confident that 3 months is ample time to achieve my goal of 700+. However, math is definitely my achilles. And from what I have seen from GMAT Club and other sources, it seems the test is weighted a bit toward the quantitative sections. I have purchased multiple prep materials, online class through local Comm. College, Online practice questions w/ video explanation, full MGMAT series and Math Foundations. I have created a "schedule" where I will study 20hrs per week, 6weeks for quant, 4weeks for verbal, 2weeks for review. But, I am lost! I feel overwhelmed. I do not know where to start and what to spend more time and energy on: reading through the "books", diagnostic tests, practice questions, test strategies, etc. I am the type of person who needs to be very organized and have everything outlined (Virgo... :/). Can anyone help organize my study schedule- I would like to get a day-by-day schedule, or at the least a week by week schedule, so I know where I should be in my preparation on any given "deadline".
Thank you for the feedback. P.S. I love the site!!!!! GREAT resource. Thank you sooooo much for making this available.

Hi
First, the test if anything is "weighted" towards verbal, not quant. That is, increases in verbal will improve your score more than the sam increase in quant. The average GMAT test taker does better in quant than verbal.
As far as a strategy, I think this is pretty good
- take the gmatprep test to establish your base line
- go through all 8 mgmat books. The questions they suggest will take you through all q's in the OG
- intersperse with mgmat CATs to track progress
- use feedback from CATs to identify weaknesses
Good luck!

Hello
Juggling between work and studies is tough so you need to define a significant time for your GMAT preparation. Sometimes taking few days off work for preparing for the GMAT can help a person tremendously. If you have time this may not be a bad idea. Take practise GMAT tests to see how you are doing. If you cannot do that don’t worry. What might work instead is to set aside 1-2 hours at night on weekdays and major part of your weekend to study and prepare for GMAT- in this case we will suggest a good 2-3 months preparation. However we recommend you to keep taking practise tests to gauge your performance. It will help you in identifying your weak areas and you can focus on them accordingly.
There are various ways you can use to practise for your GMAT. You might need to change your practise style and try this combination to provide you flexibility and different styles to practise so it doesn’t get monotonous.
It could be combination of-
1-Books- Books like- The Official Guide for GMAT Review, The Official Guide for GMAT
Verbal Review, The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review etc could be used.
2-Online Study Guide: Websites like Knewton, Grockit etc provide you with practise questions online.
3-Smart phone applications- Kaplan, Veritas etc offer applications to prepare for GMAT on your smart phones.
