Hey guys!
I want to take the GMAT around easter this year and I am at least aiming for 740 (average of my graduate programs is about 730). I had to do one year in high school twice, so I want to demonstrate my abilities. I am not a native english speaker, but my study is in english and I already get good results on the verbal part. Math is also not a big concern since I follow a rather quantitative economics program(econometrics).
So my basic plan looks as the following:
Manhatten Books (all 8)
Aristotle Sentence Correction Grail
RC99 also from Aristotle
I want to finish(have already finished part of it) by the end of this month including written notes which guarantees that I know everything.
Afterwards I just want to focus on practice questions.
And now we come to my problem. After January, my University starts again. In fact, I would be able to devote only 1-2 hours(max) each day to studying for the GMAT. Depending on the exact exam date, I will be able to again put more effort in my preparations one-two weeks before the GMAT.
Now my question, is my plan realistic? The GMAT score is really important for me since I have already one striking bad aspect in my CV: The year in high school which I did twice.

Well, I think nobody can answer that question better than yourself . Each individual is unique.So some people might get their dream scores with 1-2 hours of consistent studies while other may have to put 6 hours of daily studies. However , if you'll browse through the forum,the general consent is that 2-3 hours of daily studies on the weekdays and 5-6 hours on the weekends,spread over a period of 100 days should be enough. However,again studying that much doesn't necessarily guarantee you a good GMAT score as it depends on a lot of other factors.
You have the right set of books and you need to make sure that you derive from them the most. Keep participating in the forums here and keep updating us about your progress as it will help you remain focused.
