Hey everybody,
I used posts on this forum countless times in my early planning/studying for the GMAT. Now that I've nearly finished with my original plan, I've returned to ask y'all where I should go from here. I've been studying for the GMAT for about a month now and the test day is quickly approaching (9/10 to be exact). My routine so far has been as follows:
-Bought the OG (12th edition), took the diagnostic test, & realized my quantitative skills were a bit rusty compared to verbal.
-Given the results of my diagnostic test, I decided the best way for me to study was to go straight through the book in order of the sections given.
-Each day, I would do at least 1 collection of 40 questions as listed in the book (1-40, 41-80, etc. allowing me to do problems in increasing difficulty) all while keeping an excel sheet of my answers, whether they were correct, why I missed any problems, and my time after each 10th question. In other words, I kept the same type of answer spreadsheet/error log that y'all have endorsed countless times.
-After completing a section (such as Problem Solving), I would move on to the next section in the same study format. However, I would do ~10 problems from each previous section of medium/hard difficulty AND/OR problems I had missed earlier according to my error log in order to stay sharp on the previous sections.
-I have followed this format all the way through PS, DS, RC, & CR. I still have Sentence Correction and AWA left to study.
I recently took one of the practice tests offered upon registration of the test and scored a 740 (q49, v41). I am pleased with this score at this point in time (especially considering that I haven't completely finished the OG), but I want to stay sharp and possibly improve my score. Since I am running low on my current study materials outside of the questions posted on this forum (kudos to all that participate btw), I am wondering what I should do next. I plan on taking the second practice test once I complete SC in the OG in about a day or two, but I don't know where to go after that.
If you've read this far, then thank you. I have gold stars and cookies for you. Sorry for the length, but I tend to err on the side of thoroughness. Any suggestions/comments/questions/funnyjokesyouheardtoday are welcome and appreciated.
More info about my practice test result:
-half of the quant questions I answered incorrectly were due to a time crunch (4 questions with <2 min to go) near the end of the section
-the mistakes made in the verbal section were pretty evenly distributed between RC, CR, & SC

Based on your GMATPrep score (49Q, 41V), you're in good shape. While I see OG 12 listed, it seems that you also practiced with the OG Quant and OG Verbal books. Is that correct?
Don't worry too much about the AWA. Just read Chinesburned's guide and write the essays during your CAT practice.
But for more question practice, maybe look into the GMATClub Tests. Your quant score suggests that you are capable of practicing with these questions. You probably won't be able to finish all of them, though, given your test date. Also look into Jeff Sackmann's Extreme Challenge set. It costs 25 dollars for 100 fairly challenging math problems.

I've actually only been using the main OG 12 book. As a recent college graduate with limited time and money, would it be more efficient for me to purchase the other two OG 12 books, the GMATClub Tests, or some other option (such as Jeff Sackmann's Extreme Challenge Set)?
Thanks for posting Chineseburned's guide. It's quite impressive.
