Dear All,
I have been going through this forum for sometime now. Basis on the various feedback, I gave the GMAT CAT Test (for Quant & Verbal). To my shock, I scored 500. And i am to be there at 720-740 bracket. I got 23 right in Verbal but it's showing 21 percentile. And 46 percentile in Quant.
Before going further, let me tell a bit about myself. I am 33, have work experience of 7 years as Product Development Manager - Life Insurance Company. I secured 89% in Class X, 70% in Class XII, 8.2 GPA in BTech, 67% in MBA (in Risk Management) from an average college in India. I leave at 7 am for office and reach home at 9:30 pm.
So it leaves me only weekends for classroom coaching. However, I would like to do self study and get there where I aim to be. Kindly guide me :
- how i should develop a study plan
- what are the books i should start with
- what do you think whether i can reach there
Thanks in advance for your honest feedback and suggestions
Regards
Satrajit

Hi satrajitsan welcome to the gmat club!
as for verbal I'd suggest you buy egmat online. Also once you're done with your basics and have solved a decent number of practice questions, I'd suggest you check the existing CR+SC+RC guides that have been compiled by some gmatclub users like whiplash, spidey, carcass, souvik etc.
Make your own notes which are easy for reference, and also flashcards- so that you never lose touch of important concepts.
work on building your strategy for each question type! You will be taught this on Magoosh and egmat. Use the forum to post your queries and check the solutions provided by experts like Bunuel and others.
If you have any more doubts please feel free to ask on the forum. All the best.

I am assuming you took a practice test and not the actual test.Quote:

put in an hour daily, and 4-5 hours on weekends. Use public holidays to study. Start making your own flash cards as you study, and review them when you're traveling or when you're sitting idle in office. Put in your hours daily, consistency is what is more important than excelling on a daily basis. Spare a month and half only to take mock tests, it will give you sufficient time to review and bring in improvements. Which test did you take? Official gmat practice exam? or some other test prep company?Quote:

great I'd suggest you to use magoosh premium for quant, you will surely see a significant score improvement. They are very user friendly and reply to user queries on email within 24 hours, best value for money in the gmat prep market. Once you have mastered the basics of verbal and have solved a decent number of practice questions you will be in a better position to ask them to solve your verbal problems.as for verbal I'd suggest you buy egmat online.

how i should develop a study plan
be slightly lenient with yourself when you are learning concepts, take your time... Once you're done with basics...solve gmatclub questions(buy gmatclub tests-you might get it free with egmat)...review each answer that you solved incorrectly/guessed/took too long to solve thoroughly, you will find a discussion thread for any gmatclub question on gmatclub.com. Maintain an error log! Also read the inspiring debriefs on the forum to get an idea of what it takes to get there.Quote:
what do you think whether i can reach there
certainly, if you commit and stick to your schedule and study plans.If you have any more doubts please feel free to ask on the forum. All the best.

Hi Kaal,
Thanks for your suggestion. To answer your question, I have taken the GMAT Club CAT Test. Also I have been reading the other threads which also suggests Manhattan or Veritas Guide - Set of Books. Will those be necessary too or this will suffice ?
Also thanks once again for motivating me.
