For many Indian MBA applicants, the default dream has long been a top US MBA. But as career goals, visa considerations, timelines, and global mobility priorities evolve, more candidates are seriously considering MBA programs in Europe.

Hi everyone!
I am new to the membership forum and I just want to say this is awesome website that I hoping to learn a ton from!
So here is the deal, I just finished my Masters(part-time) and now I am looking to get an MBA so I figure I should start cracking the GMAT and owning it(instead of it owning me
). Anyway so here is the schedule that I wanted some people to review
Goal: 700+
Initial Test: I took the Manhattan 1st free CAT exam and I got the following 40Q/33V for a estimated total of : 600.
These are my materials:
Manhattan's 8 book series
GMAT OG
GMAT Verbal OG
GMAT Quant OG
(Forgive my word usage since I am still learning the GMAT jargon from this website).
I plan to take the test on December 28th (day before my birthday lol). And I am focusing on a goal of about 110 hours+ (focused when I am fresh) and taking all GMAT official and Manhattan's CAT exams.
So here is what I was hoping to get some advice on :
1. Is this enough time to get it down?
2. Any other supplements worth getting?
3. Is the Manhattan's GMAT online-class worth it?
4. I keep hearing good things about GMAT hacks but from what I saw their techniques conflict with Manhattan's. Any good picking that up?
5. Lastly, I heard some stuff about the first exam being too easy for Manhattan's CAT exam but I thought I was going to die in that exam.... the questions were impossible... What do you guys think?
Much appreicated and I hope to get to where you guys are already are!!!!

1. Is this enough time to get it down?
Yes. 14 weeks is perfect.
2. Any other supplements worth getting?
Nope... The materials you said are sufficient if used properly. Personally, I believe the GMAT Official Guide for Quant Review and GMAT Official Guide for Verbal Review are not very essential. But since you've purchased it, nothing wrong
3. Is the Manhattan's GMAT online-class worth it?
I used the self-study route for my GMAT. So I don't know
4. I keep hearing good things about GMAT hacks but from what I saw their techniques conflict with Manhattan's. Any good picking that up?
The key is to stick to the techniques in one set of books and not switch from book to book in between. The Manhattan strategy guides are really good. I don't think anything else is required.
5. Lastly, I heard some stuff about the first exam being too easy for Manhattan's CAT exam but I thought I was going to die in that exam.... the questions were impossible... What do you guys think?
I got 620 in my first Manhattan mock. However, I eventually scored a 750 in the actual GMAT. The first prep-test score is not a reflection of your final score.
So cheer up

Thanks for the Tip! I had one question, I read your quest to 760 would you recommend the Grammer book before cracking opening the sentence correction?
