Hi everyone.
I started my preparation for the GMAT exam 2-3 weeks ago. I read this forum on daily basis and it definitely helps with my preparation. I would like to get feedback on my study plan from gmatclub members.
I wanted to explore all major prep companies and their materials. I took a week to go through free trials (Magoosh, Empower GMAT, Veritas, Kaplan, MGMAT and several others). I ended up purchasing Veritas On-Demand Prep as the main resource of my prep. Additionally, I purchased Magoosh for extra videos and questions, OG bundle, and I also got MGMAT Verbal books, Powerscore CR (got unused for a $1 at a yard sale). I really liked EmpowerGMAT but I picked Magoosh over EmpowerGMAT. I plan on using Magoosh over the whole period of my preparation. EmpowerGMAT monthly subscription plan did not work for me because I wanted to have a resource that I "own". I will definitely consider EmpowerGMAT's booster if I end up not being happy with my scores/or have additional time for preparation.
I am able to study 5-10 hours during the week and 10-12 hours over the weekend. I would like to take the test in January (should give me enough time for the second attempt - if I won't be happy with my score). I also take very detailed notes on all lessons, videos and problems. I keep an error blog too. Here is my plan:
1) Veritas on Demand Quant Lessons and books - 4 weeks (finished arithmetics, geometry and algebra); Going over GMATClub's Ultimate Grammar book now
2) Veritas on Demand Verbal/IR/AWA Lessons and books + Magoosh Quant Problems, and videos if there is a need - 6 weeks
3) Verbal and Quant Question Banks - Veritas, Magoosh, Official Guide - 2 to 4 weeks
4) Combination of working on my weaknesses, practice tests and question banks
I would really appreciate any thoughts on my study plan (verbal is definitely my weakness). Here are couple of questions I have:
1) When should I take my first prep test?
2) Should I only take full tests? (or should I start taking Quant and Verbal separately?)
3) I have these tests available: 6 MGMAT, 6 Veritas, 2 GMATprep, 2 Magoosh. Should I mix them up as I go through them? Any other sources for practice tests you would suggest?
4) Additional resources I currently have: All MGMAT Verbal books and PowerScore CR. I plan on using them in the last (4) phase.
About me: I am originally from a small European country. I started learning English when I was 16 and took SATs only one year later. I came to the US when I was 18. I will be applying for MBA programs in 2016. My GMAT goal is 700+.
Thank you very much for reading my post. I will keep updating the thread with my progress.

You should take your first prep test after one run of the material i.e. after you know the various question types. Work on Quant and Verbal simultaneously - every day, some time devoted to Quant and some to Verbal. Once you complete all the Veritas On Demand lessons, you should take a full length test. It will give you a taste of what all factors the real test will involve - the time constraints, the questions that will throw you off etc and will highlight your strengths and weaknesses. Check out this post for more on this: https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/veritas-prep-resource-links-no-longer-available-399979.html#/2012/08 ... prep-test/
Preferably, use your practice tests as full length tests. You have the question bank from which you can pick and choose. Also, you have enough practice tests. Mix them up as you go along. First focus on concepts and then on practice.
