I started my gmat prep a month ago and i am kind of stuck at this point and looking for advice on how to further my preparation.
I have taken guidelines for my study plan from bb's gmat study plan for novices and formulated my own plan and held to it for a month. Now after one month into the study plan i am kind of stuck and looking for advice in rehashing my approach.
Here is what I've done so far
- Took GMAT diagnostic test to check my intial point, scored Q 29 and V 24.
- Bought all 4 MGMAT quant study guides and kaplan math workbook in addition to OG 11 ed and quantitative review.
- In the past month , I have worked only on math. Reviewed basics and worked on math problems of kaplan math workbook. While at it I also finished reading Manhattan NP and FDP study guide.
- Now looking back into last month ,so far i have completed arithmetic section of kaplan work book and Manhattan NP and Decimals,fractions and percentages study guides.
My question is - should I continue working on math alone i.e continue working on algebra and geometry and after finishing up with those, start Verbal or should I start Verbal in parallel. I have been working on kaplan math workbook problems and MGMAT study guide in action problems in parallel.. is this a good approach? Looking for advice.
Thanks

Hello ananthv,
Your approach to quant is fine. That being said, you do not need to take a practice test to assess progress on quant alone. You should be able to look at your progress over the time spent studying and (hopefully) see an improvement in approach and an improvement in the # of correct answers.
Are you using an error log to maintain progress? This is key to identify shortcomings along the way and adjust your study plan accordingly.
I personally believe you should move to verbal now. You have spent a good amount of time on quant and now it is time to study verbal, and then take another practice test to assess your progress and adjust your study plan accordingly.
