At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hi,
Is it really necessary to buy off the GMAT prep material and go thriugh them. I have a limited budget and otherwise hold a good profile, planning to give my GMAT before july ends so that can apply for firdt rounds of application to secure financial aid...
Is the free material across internet enough to prepare through.. I have given few tests and so far landed 100% in quant and soke 60-70% correct answers in verbal. But somehow I am still not able to come up with a concrete study plan. Probably i need some guidance in how to begin and streamline the process. Can someone guide me with a very high level plan sharing some ten minutes to guide me through, how and what should I be focussing upon and looking at currently and going forward.
Much thanks.

It is not essential to buy Official material but it is highly recommended. Think about the money you will have to spend if you do not get a good score this time and need to retake GMAT! Isn't it far better to be well prepared the first time around? It will be a good idea for you to get a good feel for the language of the official questions.
Also, to get guidance on how to proceed, you will need to give some more details about your accuracy in various question types (SC/CR/RC). Also which tests have you taken and what do you mean by 100%? Did you take some full length practice tests and is that your Quant accuracy in those tests? If yes, I am impressed!

Hi Karishma,
Thanks for an immediate reply. I did not mean the OGs. I already have OGs and am going through them, especially for the Verbal section. By GMAT prep material, I meant a number of books and courses that I have seen many people advocating here from Kaplan or Veritas. By 100% I meant, I gave a full test, only one of it from the OGs and on verifying my answers and logics, I noticed to have answered all the questions correctly. I further did a detailed analysis of my approach and the solutions and noticed the two to be on a converging end. This has helped me somehow gain confidence with the Quant part.
I am worried about Verbal although I would mention the fact that I have not yet done everything in Verbal, and no full test either. I have done a lot of SC questions, some CR questions but I am able to perform with an accuracy of maximum 70% on them.
I do not understand much of how GMAT is being scored. 37 questions/41 questions both evaluated on a scale of 60 but even those getting 800 perfect score get Q51 V51. This has gone far to create a hazy and opaque picture of the scoring in my mind but for now I am not focussing on it. My total concentration is going towards reading a lot of material in Verbal and try to attain a better comfort level in the same.
Your guidance and response shall be much appreciated and sought for.
