I need some serious GMAT advice, tell me what approach to take
1. I got a 540 on GMAT Prep
( 37 Math, 27 English) (my diagnostic)
2. I am willing to put in a minimum of 2 hours on weekdays and 8 hours on weekends
3. Every Saturday plan to take an exam between 12:30 to 4 (I have signed up for the exam at the same time)
4. Every Sunday review the questions I got wrong on my exam
5. I have so much material I don't know what to refer to.
6. I have all the MGMAT book + OG review + OG verbal + OG quant
7. I also have pre-made flash cards which I haven't used till now
8. I tend to forget stuff if I don't review it (i.e strategies, shortcuts, formulas, etc)
9. Plan on keeping an error log
10. I have briefly read the MGMAT guides
This is what my plan is tell me if it makes sense:
Every weekday do:
30 SC form the 1000SC
25 CR from OG (or whatever material you guys suggest)
5 RC from OG (or whatever material you guys suggest)
20 PS (first finish OG) ( I got a question bank from a friend don't know if its a worthy source)
20 DS (fist finish OG)
Weekend :
Take exams PR Test 1, MGMAT1,2,3,4,5,6 OG Paper test, GMAT Perp 1,2, GMAT Prep 1,2 (2nd attempt)
Taking the exam on June 12th (one day after world cup football starts)
I really would love a 700+
what do I need to do achieve this...
please advice
Thanks

though I think your study plan is extremely ambitious, it's definitely doable. I think with all the things you said, you're going to score a very good score. Understand though - practice is half the game; the other half is understanding why you make a mistake. If you don't understand why you're making a mistake on something, you're going to be wasting time and resources on additional questions. However, I think with your study plan (as long as you're burning yourself out with this ambitious plan) and with a good understanding of questions and mistakes, you'll score at least above 650, perhaps even 700+. Best of luck!!

I am not an expert here but as far as I know after spending some time here on forum I think you should get PowerScore CR Bible if you are lacking in CR & RC, also do read some journals for example wall street journal, the economist, and Business-week if u can manage some time. But most important thing is to have a clear understanding of whatever you do/study and then practice a lot after getting a firm grasp on concepts & having thorough understanding. When going through books first get a hold of the chapter you are studying and do some practice questions related to that chapter after you feel that you clearly understand everything told in the chapter then move on to the next chapter.
Rest experts are here, they will guide you properly and also do go through threads related to guides.
These were just 2 cents from my side.
Hope it helps!
