Hello all, I'm stingray and I'm knid of new here.
I have started preparing for GMAT around 2 months ago. I have been reading posts here for quite some time now and recently joined here and started posting. After reading lots of posts this is how I began. I bought Princeton Review, Kaplan, OG 11 and Kaplan 800(not studied this yet). After completely studying the PR and Kaplan I took the GMAT Prep1. Then I have completed all the problems from OG 11. I have also gone through the Wiki Study material on this web site. I have completely studied the Manhattan SC Guide (downloaded from their web site). I bought the GMAT Club challenges and finished 8 of the math challenges. I have a full time job and have been spending an average of 20 hrs a week preparing.
Here is how I have performed so far and it is very disappointing.
1 month ago: GMAT Prep1: 590 (Math-17 incorrect/36 & Verbal - 18 incorrect/41)
2 weeks ago: OG 11 - Incorrect: PS - 35%, DS - 35%, CR - 19%, RC - 25%, SC - 28%
This week and last week: GMAT Club Challanges:
Test Correct Total % Correct Percentile
m01 19 37 51.3% 14.8%
m02 25 37 67.6% 33.0%
m03 20 36 55.6% 26.9%
m04 22 35 62.9% 38.2%
m05 20 36 55.6% 26.3%
m06 17 34 50.0% 27.6%
m07 21 34 61.8% 38.1%
m08 13 37 35.1% 9.1%
I'm keeping a log of all the problems that I get wrong and also the ones that are difficult for me. I review them and plan to re-review them.
After reading so many posts with advice and confidence builders this is the best I could do so far. May be I just don't have it in me. I'm not really sure though. I took GRE in year 2000 and got 2070/2400 (Math - 710, Analytical - 750, Verbal - 610).
What am I doing wrong? CEOs, Managers, Interns, anyone please comment. Thanks and I really appreciate your time.

Buddy I think you're taking the math challenges way too early in the game. I'd say go through review material first - get the MGMAT math stuff - excellent revision of all concepts. Go through all of them. Then try the rest of the challenges.
The downloadable Manhattan SC guide is published by Manhattan Review (not to be confused by the Manhattan GMAT people) is not the actual SC bible. The real bible and all other Manhattan series books can be found here :
https://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&tag=moz ... tan%20gmat
(the maroon books).
Nonetheless, from what I can see, your real weakness lies in the verbal. Apart from the Manhattan GMAT SC book, try using gmatter software for training (https://www.gmatter.biz). It comes with thousands of preloaded questions (and best of all, its free).
Good luck.

Thanks bsd_lover! I appreciate your advice.
Thanks for pointing out the SC guide. I got the wrong one before. I will get the right one now.
By MGAMT math stuff, did you mean all 5 of the math guides? It doesn't look like they cover Probability & Permutaions & Combinations though.
