I gave my first Diagnostic test yesterday, the Princeton review Diagnostic test. Scored a poor 500.Q37V23. I had finished the each section 20 mitutes before time. Specially in verbal section, I was lazy to read everything.
My exam date is in september. And I am aiming a score of 730-750. Would appreciate some guidance/review on my study plan.
May- Focus on verbal. Do MGMAT SC with questions from OG and GMAT ultimate grammar book.
June- Focus on Quant Section. Complete MGMAT Quant guides along with OG questions. Also, continue with GMAT Verbal Review guide.
Take a CAT, and asses the situation.
July- Focus on other verbal sections, CR and RC, along with Quant.
Take a CAT, and asses the situation.
August- Focus on trouble areas and take two CAT's each week.
Please let me know your thoughts on the above chalked out plan and how can i make it more effective. I am a working professional, so can take out the standard 2-3 hrs on weekdays and 6-7 hrs on weekends.
Awaiting for an earnest response.

Hi Rhea446,
If you can take out 2-3 hours on weekdays and 6-7 hours on the weekends then this is enough for your test in September. If you finished the practice test 20 minutes early in both the sections then the result will not represent your true level. Try to take another test under strict testing conditions then see what the score comes. A jump from 500 to 730 is a huge one, but this can be achieved and you have enough time for that.
Your high level study plan looks good to me but, you may want to go through this post - gmat-study-plan-how-to-start-your-gmat-prep-80727.html to figure our your ideal study plan. Whichever study plan you should choose, you must see an improvement in your performance/ skill level, otherwise it is not working for you. I would suggest that you break your goal from 500 to 600 then after achieving 600, to 650 then to 700 and to 700+. You should also take one test every 3 weeks initially to determine your progress, even if you have some topics untouched.
Lastly do maintain an error log to keep track of questions that you got incorrect and other specific topics that you find difficult and may want to revisit in future. This log will be really helpful during the last three weeks of your prep. All the best !!!

Hi Vercules,
As suggested by you, I gave a GMAT Prep test. I scored a 550(Q40V25) and in IR, a score of 4. Now IR seems to be another trouble area. Could you suggest some thing for working upon it.
Regards
Rhea
