I am not a native English speaker and looking to give GMAT after a preparation of two months.
These are the results of my diagnostic tests:
PS: Excellent
DS: Excellent
CR: Excellent
RC: Above Average
SC: Average
I can't decided whether to start with the OG or not as some people are saying that I should save the official questions for the end, I plan on finishing all the OGs in 2014, practicing and giving test along January and February and give GMAT in Feb end with a score of 750+. I went through a lot of study plans and reviews on this site, all of them are a bit helpful but I think I am having a panic attack with all the information overload.
Can anyone provide me basic instruction on how to target preparation for such a score? some are saying do verbal first, other are saying get done with concepts firsts and then practice a lot. It is all very very confusing.
I think the appropriate plan is finish to MGMAT Strategy Guides by 15 Jan, then take tests every week along with practicing from OG and GMATclub. Is there any flaw in doing so?
Thanks.
P.S.: I am college student so I have relatively more time to prepare.

I assuming these are results from the OG diagnostic test. Those are great results. Also, did you take the GMATPrep cold? If you did then 600 is a very good baseline, considering that you are just starting. I am just saying from experience.
You are clearly strong on the quant, and should mostly focus on the verbal. However, I would recommend you to study them concurrently, even if you end up emphasizing verbal. The reason has to do with keeping your brain fresh on both topics. I have seen students score drop on the verbal when they exclusively focus on quant, and vice versa.
Other than that I would say don't try to save official GMAT questions for the end. Try to spread the official GMAT questions throughout the entire GMAT preparation. There is plenty and you don't have to worry about exhausting them. For example, on the quant you have 450 questions in OG 2015, another 300 in Quant Review, 200 in Question Pack 1, and once you do the free GMATPrep practice tests you have around 700 quant questions in the database(Link here: all-gmatprep-questions-quant-verbal-187679.html). The main reason for recommending the official GMAT questions is to get very used to the style, structure, and pattern of the GMAT, which takes some time to internalize, and the sooner you start with official questions, the quicker you will be ready for the official exam.

Definitely shoot for higher IR score. While you don't necessarily need to ace IR, you don't want to draw bad attention to a low IR score.
Take a look at the hints and practice questions here for IR: www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-test/gma ... -reasoning
Also - focus on that SC. The sentence structure you learn from studying SC can help you read RC passages more quickly.
